    No way is Plums worth more than 13.5 mil a year (IMO). Especially as a backup. I doubt Portland would have given him that much considering the state of our cap, unless other trades were made at least. In short, I think things worked out better for Plums than I thought they would. This is more than I thought he'd get, so good for him.

    :cheers:

    Sucking up to the fan base early and often. Nice to see that college education didn't go to waste ;)

    He read LaMarcus's letter to Portland and thought "hey, I should do the absolute opposite of that"

    I'm glad we're not paying him that much.

    I think NO would have let him walk if that was a UFA offer and he was still with us.

    Exactly. Too rich for my blood and a STUPID move by Den. Why offer him that much if NO ONE is bidding for his services...?

    I honestly thought he'd get like 8 mil, in part due to the perception that he went from a good situation for him to a bad one. Shows what I know ;)

    Sure but would you pay 13 MM per for him? Not me. He doesn't do enough.

    He's not gonna ear that money coming off the bench in Den. He won't even avg double digit rebounds. Watch.

    Glad to see that our concerns were justified. He got exactly what we thought he'd get, and I'm glad we're not the ones paying him. I really like Plums, but he should be around $8 million per year.... not $13.5 per year. That's insane.

    Seems like 13M is the going rate for average NBA bigs now man.

    For starters. Not backups. That's a Rolo contract.

    Plus, I think Denver painted themselves into a corner. They couldn't trade Nurk AND a pick and then let Plums walk for nothing. That would have looked even worse than the trade already does.

    It's a bargain if you look at some deals that were given out last summer:

    Biyombo-- 4yrs, 72 mil
    Dwight-- 3yrs, 71 mil
    Noah-- 4yrs, 72 mil
    Mahinmi-- 4yrs, 64 mil
    Mozgov-- 4yrs, 64 mil
    Miles Plumlee-- 4yrs, 52 mil
    Asik-- 4yrs, 44mil
    Meyers-- 4yrs, 41 mil
