Captain Hi-Top 791 Report post Posted December 19, 2010 It's amazing how a team can look so dominant at the beginning of the year only to then trade away half the team 2 months later. Well Dwight, you got what you wanted. Sign that extension. But... but... we lost 5 of the last 6 games!!!!!! :panicworker: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bauncey Chillups 288 Report post Posted December 19, 2010 Wait so Arenas has a player option in 2012? 10 bucks says he opts out and signs a new, cheaper contract with us. Or is that not possible? Otis should deliver an ultimatum to him. Either sign a cheaper contract or you're not allowed in the man cave. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's going to give up 20 mill because he's friends with Otis?? I don't know of too many friends that pass up 20 mill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know of too many friends that pass up 20 mill. although very true, I wouldn't put ANYTHING past Gil. Guy is crazy enough to do things outside the norm.

I'm not saying he resigns for the vet min, but maybe they backload the contract or something. I think Thunder did the opposite of that with Nick Collison this year. They paid him a huge amount and the pennies for the following years. You're probably right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He gave up $16 mil. in his current contract, just for the sake of the team....the team he just left. http://sports.espn.g...tory?id=3473164 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AcuWill 45 Report post Posted December 19, 2010 Gilbert might be one of the few in the NBA who isn't all about the money. I actually really like him and before all of his injuries was my favorite player not on the Magic. I am going to drink the Gilbert punch until I'm shown some reason not to.

Shock Phantom 263 Report post Posted December 19, 2010 Can someone just tell me what the cap situation will be like when Dwight is a free agent (given he accepts his player option)? Not too good, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not too good, right? I'm pretty sure if Dwight doesn't opt out, that Hedo and Arenas could opt out and that could leave us with a lot of cap space. Though I'm not totally sure, I don't know much about the contracts of our new guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
