Someone said that now there arent any matchup problems cuz Lebron can guard Shard at the 3 and AV can guard Bass at the 4 and Shaq>Dwight

and Delonte on Vince? LOL

 

The collective mood actually appears to be that of depression

 

 

Okay, let's say for the sake of argument that they're right. Let's say the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS are playing well against this lineup for the ORLANDO MAGIC.

 

OH NO! Whatever shall we do?!?

 

Hmmm...

 

Dwight

Lew

Pietrus

VC

Jameer

 

 

Problem solved.

 

Our lineups are gonna be so versatile, it's ridiculous. This is gonna be great.

 

I know, the funny thing is, we made this trade to get better against L.A. and Boston. We already can roll with Shard and RA at the 4 and Peitrus at the 3 to play Cleveland.

ESPN is in denial

I love this move. Even if he doesn't start and plays 20-25 off the bench then that salary is still reasonable for a big.

 

I think we got substantially better, tougher, and younger this offseason. Otis has been very impressive in an offseason that seems especially crucial now that the East has gotten a lot tougher.

I'm a little late to the party - out to lunch with the wife - but HOORAY! WE FINALLY SIGNED BASS! As many have said, we are now a VERY versatile team. Look for Otis to bring in Barnes in the coming days.

What do yall think of that? Bargain or did Otis overpay? Did Dutt work his magic again?

 

I know it's a little early for this discussion, but nonetheless, I'm still ecstatic he'll be in Magic blue, and not Dallas Blue!

 

With annual raises of around 10.5% per year it looks like he probably is getting about $3.9 million a year to start if it is around $18 million total over 4 years. That would leave what - $1.7 million for another free agent in using up the MLE?

 

we cant give 10.5% raises to him i dont think. only 8.5

 

It's actually just 8, not 8.5.

 

yeah but its not an accumulated 8% raise...

 

MLE with annual raises equivalent to 8% of the contracts first year value each year

 

ahh its not?

At least we know you're legit.

Want to know the beauty of all this?

 

When David Robinson first came into the league, he could score, but was all about rebounds and defense. Dennis Rodman joined the Spurs, allowed Admiral a little slack on defense and the boards, and Robinson's ppg jumped up.

 

Now, I'm not saying Bass is Rodman by any stretch, but now Dwight can work a little harder on the offensive end.

Thats a good point. Way too many times last year, Dwight was the only one rebounding the ball and defending the paint. I hated when he had to help out someone else on defense, and then the opposing center or power forward gobbled up the offensive rebound.

It's not. The total value of the contract, assuming max raises, can be calculated as:

 

x + 1.08x + 1.16x + 1.24x = 18.5m, where x is equal to the first year salary.

Woooooooooo! Our rebounding woes just went bye bye. And he's an LSU Tiger!
