Paul Millsap's contract is listed as $10,300,000 $6,200,000 $6,700,000 $7,200,000

Can someone check the CBA? If Milsap got this why couldnt we give Lee $15mm and $3mm? Is there some range that needs to be followed?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Portland front-loaded their offer sheet with a signing bonus.

I don't think the contract actually hits the cap like that though. I think the signing bonus is apportioned over each year of the contract.

His actual first year salary is more like $5.7M plus the signing bonus. the next year salary is $6.2M plus 1/4 of the signing bonus - at least in terms of cap hit.

In real money, Portland put a clause in that the money had to be paid within ten days of signing - which I did not know anyone could do.
