MAGIC HAVE OFFICIALLY SIGNED BRANDON BASS - APOLOGIES DUE TO THE HOBO

[Shine88 89]

Otis should try to sign Marquis Daniels or Von Wafer with the rest of the MLE.

 

I hope he still match Gortat offer.

It'd be 4.129m, 4.459m, 4.790m, and then an option at 5.12m for the 4th year.

 

So Drunk, taking into consideration what's left of the mid-level...what could we start Barnes with???

 

1.71m

 

You think he'd be happy with a contract starting a that number?...In other words, what's the liklihood we can snag him for that price???

[ThisIsTheYear 241]

Wooooohoooo!

 

If you would have told me a year a go the Magic were gonna acquire Bass, I would have called you crazy.

 

If you would have told be we'd sign him for a mere $18mil, I would have walked away.

 

Way to go, Otis.

He made just under $800k last season, i'm pretty sure he should be happy with that starting salary with a contender

We ARENT matching Gortat's offer from Dallas. He's gone.

If he's not happy with that, there's at least 5 other guys we can sign for a similar price.

I think Bass is a good pick up...But, I am still stuck thinking how the rest of our roster will pan out..Dont we need a couple more bigs, and a couple more wing players?

[BRich 56]

I don't know what Barnes' desires are - but he made the vets min last year, so it'd at least be a raise.

 

Perhaps this is where Toronto having their full mid again comes into play...

 

but we do have options at that price - if that figure is accurate.

Good stuff. Me happy. Otis...match the offer for Warlock, get Barnes to accept MLE leftovers, and Ratliff to come onboard for vet min. And we still have that trade exemption in our back pocket. Yep, me happy. Otis = Executive of The Year???

 

PG Meer, AJ, ???

SG Vince, Peaches, Barnes?, JJ (sorry JJ, s*it happens)

SF Shard, Peaches, Mr. Anderson, Barnes

PF Bass, Mr. Anderson, Shard, Ratliff?

C Dwight, Warlock?

 

Wow

Just thinking what if Bass changes his mind ala Turkoglu. I was just wondering what the Portland board looked like when that all went down. They were probably all happy as are we, and than they got pissed.

 

I'm quite sure Bass doesn't have a Turkish wife who loves Toronto for example and ballgrabs him to force a deal with another team because of the malls and hair salons...

 

There a difference though.

 

Hedo gave Portland a verbal agreement, and Bass agreed to terms with us.

Guys there is a new topic to discuss Matt Barnes and other free agents to get with the rest of the MLE

[Ambrose 0]

Yes! I can finally stop pulling my hair out.
