    Lets say all the players but Lillards production either stays the same or drops slightly, the first number is properly paid in my opinion the final is overpaid are the numbers I would consider "overpaid" but not to the point i'd bitch. If the cap goes up as high as some expect it then they would quickly go from Overpaid to either properly paid or underpaid.
    Lopez 9-12
    Mathews 8-11
    Aldridge 17-19
    Lillard - Anything we pay him is underpaying.

    I don't think any of those contracts are high enough.

    Lopez will make more than 12 million.
    Aldridge will make more than 19 million.
    Wes is going to pull Chandler Parsons money.

    I could be lowballing them, still not used to every team have tons of capspace every summer instead of just a handfull of teams. I'd personally like to see the Blazers shell out nice contracts to Wes/Rolo and keep them even if its the top end of the number i listed or a little above.

    Here's the reason why I think you're low: Marcin Gortat - 5 years and 60 million last summer (12 million a year) and I think Rolo is a better player.

    And in regards to Wes, just look at what guys like Chandler Parsons got. 4 years at 11.5 a year. I think Wes will get at least 12 a year.

    Parsons got 3 years 46m. Wes has some teams looking at him so a bidding war could go on and that would drive up the price to at least 12. Gortats contract seemed to come out of nowhere, I don't remember anyone thinking he was going to get that much but it could be a bargaining chip Rolo's Agent uses since they put up very similair stats.

    Was it three years? That's even worse.
