The Dude Abides 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 Heres probaly a dumb question, but can NBA salaries include incentive based bonuses? If Otis and Jameer and everyone are so confident in his game, let him prove it.. Sign him at 4 per, thats what hes worth and backload the contract with some stipulations.... is that possible? I think 4 per is way fair considering whats out there , what they have gotten, and what we are gettin from it. If their is a possiblity of incentives, I say let him prove his worth on top of his contract, if there isn't consider this post nixed. I know in the other professional leagues you can do this, just not sure of the NBA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyce_1 311 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 If Jameer plays like he did at the end of '05-'06 season and beginning of '06-'07 season, how much would you say he's worth? edit: Man, I wasted my turning "All-Star" on a Jameer question, lol. I was going to plan something special for that post count. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D-BoFats 5 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 We need to sign Jameer now, while the effects of BHill's coaching still hurt Jameer's value. If we give Jameer one year under SVG, he'll turn into a $9-10 million point guard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knappy 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 quote: Originally posted by SmackDaddy:This is ridiculous. I'm a Jameer Nelson fan, but still I don't think he's worth anymore than 3-4 million starting pay coming out of his rookie contract. He had a poor season which shouldn't stand as proof that we need to extend him. If anything, it should provide proof that we need to wait and see if Jameer actually fits in with what we're doing. I don't like what Otis is doing AT ALL. He is basically saying, "Here is my plan. We're not going to waver from what I believe will be a contending squad for years to come. To prove just how strongly I feel about my own ability to build a contender (even without a shred of evidence) i am going to commit this team to 250 million dollars worth of salaries to three players." Who are we, the Yankees???? I'd be alright with paying like the Yankees do. I'd like to see Jameer come in at $5 million per year, but Otis may be thinking more. I would have liked seeing Rahard come in at around $75 to $80 million for 5 years, but that didn't happen either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHill killed him last year. I'd like us to sign him for $6m a season - Otis said somewhere between $24m for 4 seasons and $41m for 5 seasons - that is $6m to $8m. I would That is way to much for a guy who hasnt proved nothing yet. I agree with Smack, I think he has potential but still you cant always hand out contracts based on potential, you hand some out based on performance and because of his performance I think he is worth about 2-4 million he definetly has earned luke Ridnour or Kirk Hinirch kinds of dollars I don't know if you compare him to Dooling and Arroyo - they are both getting $4m. The salaries are out of control. And, the fans have to pay an awful lot to go to games. It salary trend doesn't look like it will reverse until the Fans stop showing up and we keep going. Also, taking less money - Darko and DeShawn may get players to rething their demands also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Can Opener 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 I'm a huge fan of Jameer. I think while his value is down from the nut case, we should sign him before he has a break out year under SVG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we give Jameer one year under SVG, he'll turn into a $9-10 million point guard. He could have a major breakout year with SVG - $9 or $10 m - maybe not, but I think we are better off signing him now. I thought we were better off signing Darko before last season and we didn't. I think we ought to lock in Ariza longer term if we can - I don't know his contract status - A little help here - how long is Ariza's contract. He is another I think should be locked in. JJ - I would let him play a year to see what we have and he is only in the 2nd year of his rookie contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that he can get a contract for 4 years 16m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
