[phunDamentalz]

well at least we've gotten the first bonehead contract of the offseason out of the way.

 

[Legacy]

Well this was expected so no surprise here.

 

[bbwSwish]

Thank God. If he had come to the Magic, I would have been pissed.

 

[B.e.]

Wow...huge contract for a player who is nearing the end of his prime.

 

[NJNetz]

I predicated the deal would be done by late Sunday. I'm not really excited, but at least it isn't 20 mil per year.

Lol, I agree.

The only other one that could possibly be worse then this is Gerald Wallace getting his 14-16mil.

I kind of knew that he was going to stay.I though it was going to be at least 20 mill but i was dead wrong.

Well sometimes you have to take a paycut of 16 million a year to help the team
