josh Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 what the F is going on, here?!? I thought yesterday was mostly good contracts. Today is just overpayment after overpayment.

Future Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 For one year, this is fine. It's term that always comes back to bite teams.

Phil Posted July 12, 2017 Author Posted July 12, 2017 For one year, this is fine. It's term that always comes back to bite teams. Indeed. Still, $8M for a 38-year old has ugly optics.
Karan Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 I know $8M for a 38 year old just coming off an injury looks bad, maybe something in the $6M range would seem more reasonable. But he's only one year removed from an 82 point season. You wouldn't pay $8M for a PPG player?
Future Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Indeed. Still, $8M for a 38-year old has ugly optics. Yes and no. If you're not up against the cap, then it really makes no difference. The question is - what else were you going to do with that $8m if you didn't re-sign him? Sign a couple of third-liners? Might as well give it to him.
