    Ni-Co-li-azz bit-uooom????? How are we going to resign a guy whos name we can't chant? Someone needs to figure out a good Nicoli chant.

    Perhaps this is whats holding up the negotiations...

    Never really chanted Brandon's name either. Unless you count MVP.

    Similarly, the Atlanta Hawks' Pachulia has always sounded like a sneeze to me.

    I think it hurts the Blazers. I think they bring a similar impact. Gallo just plays 10 more mpg.

    actually I disagree as I just looked at Gallos' numbers which are better than Nic's, I don't care about the minutes, last yr they weren't that different. Nic deserves 8 mil give or take a bit per yr.

    Dammit, denver gave too much to gallo, batum probably thinks he should get money in gallos ballpark even though I would take gallo over batum easily. If we overpay batum its going to be stupid

    Good god. It's the agents' fault? How about the stupid owners who keep shelling out the money? Give me a break.

    I think we will be seeing some major changes in contracts when the new luxury tax actually sets in. I assume there will be a lot of owners firing their GMs too. I don't think people will really understand until the time comes.

    I agree. I can't understand why so many owners are signing off on these big money deals for non-franchise players. Seems way too high for players who are average starter caliber in the NBA.
