Suns got Knight on 5/70 million.
Hibbert opted in.

 

No idea what the heck Phil Jackson is doing. If the Knicks throw the max at Monroe and then $12 million at Afflalo, they will still suck and their defense will be terrible.

 

Afflalo is a very good defender... Monroe? Jury's out. Jackson and Fisher will be trotting out the Hexagon offense. Stephen "Agitated" Smith is rolling in his grave.

 

Perkins ain't goin to no Subway.

 

I think Afflalo's defense used to be good...once upon a time. It hasn't been the case for a while. Afflalo is given the defensive rep. Blazers fans expected the same, but they were disappointed by it.

 

I heard on ESPN Radio that the Clippers offered Jordan a 5 year contract. he said "I want a 4 year, with a player out after the 3rd year". That totally takes away all their leverage. He reportedly has had it with Chris Paul and the Clippers have zero chance of signing him.

 

I haven't heard that second bit at all, but the first bit is totally accurate.

He wants to cash in when he hits the next level of FA max percentage in the new CBA. I've heard he's really only interested in 2+1 or 3+1 deals moving forward. The Clippers can still offer more though because they can use his Bird Rights and give him a 7.5% raise every year while everyone else only gives him 4.5% raises.

 

I didn't even know they were allowed to offer him that much. That's an incredible amount of money.

 

gill sighting!

Didn't MJ make 35 million one year?
