[OSUBlazerfan]

@WojYahooNBA Channing Frye has agreed to a five year, $30 million contract to stay with the Suns, a league source tells Y! Sports.

these teams are crazy

And what happens when Steve Nash retires?

 

[ironcrotch]

... and ppl say Sarver is cheap.

 

[Driew]

Good for Frye. I'll be cheering on all these ex blazers (Webster, Frye, Sergio, even Rudy). I want them to succeed.

Memphis might have given him the max...

Uh, Sergio failed the NBA.

 

[Minstrel]

Crazy world. I don't think I've seen a free agency open with so many questionable/silly deals.

But it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I'm happy for Frye, even if I think the Suns made a big mistake.

Seems like we have a new winner of awful contract of the day. Sorry Gooden, you've been dethroned.

Rudy Gay's contract is still worse. They just gave a max deal for a slightly better version of Travis Outlaw.

True Dat ... albeit, Trout with a handle, but Trout nonetheless.

 

[B-Roy]

Speaking of Trout, what's he going to get if CFrye gets 6M/Year?

Then Channing plays point forward and becomes the next Pippen.

Or, at least, a poor man's Boris Diaw. But hey, that's still pretty good.

Mid-level 4 years

 

[Driew]

Uh, Sergio failed the NBA.

I'm aware--still doesn't mean I can't root for the guy.

 

[julius]

congrats to Channing! And if he's reading this board (for whatever reason) I'm available for a personal driver...

 

[THE HCP]

Hell YA! good for you Chann!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Opting out was the smartest thing he's probably ever done in his life.

 

[TripTango]

But what does Jon Barry say about Channing getting paid?

But what does Jon Barry say about Channing getting paid?

Jon Barry wants a cut for his participation in making Sarver think Frye was so valuable.

Also, doesn't Sarver know Frye alternates average years with awful years? He should have signed Frye to an innovative, "every other year" deal. Lock him up for 2011-12, 2013-14 and 2015-16.
