holy geeeeeeeeeeeez!

It's a 94m cap. That's pretty equivalent to Afflalo's $8m

Afflalo averaged 18pts a game one year... Courtney Lee had never gotten close to that. Affalo making 8 mill is his max. Courtney Lee should not be making close to that

I think you're missing the point which is that nobody is saying he's worth that much but with the cap rise he's going to get somewhere around that much no matter what anyone thinks. I saw something today that Austin Rivers wants $8 mil per and he's never been anything more then a backup PG and that was only when he got on the Clippers with daddy cause he wasn't even making any team before that.

I want Rihanna to blow me. Doesn't mean that will ever happen. We can't be a part of that fools market.

It's not a fool's market - it's the new reality. The cap is almost double what it was a mere three years ago.

Also, it means something to me that Noah is recruiting Lee. It means they like each other and it means we'll have good team chemistry. (And please don't say that means either of them should give us a discount, that's BS - would you take a discount because you liked your potential co-workers?)

Lee defends and is a team player and can hit the three. We don't need to pay for scoring average. I don't want another Afflalo. I want a better defender and more consistent deep threat and someone who passes the ball. Did y'all forget that Afflalo never passed? Maybe that's why he could average 18ppg??

I don't think any of these moves will make us a contender or even top team in the east. It looks like a fool's market for a lotto team to participate in. By mid season, I think some of these teams will be desperate to get out of these contracts and will give up assets to do so.

Taking on bad contracts to acquire mid to late round draft picks is a dubious strategy at best.

Still think Solomon Hill should be the guy at the 2. He's a good 5-6 years younger than Lee (so he'd be a long-term guy; a guy I wouldn't mind giving a 4-5 year deal to), won't be overly expensive compared to other options out there and I'm convinced he's ready to take off with an expanded role somewhere. I still say we be better off if we went dirt cheap at the 5 (Willy shouldn't be too expensive and hopefully can supply some interior scoring/rebounding and I honestly can't believe Jordan Bachynski's not being discussed more--I think this guy's capable of 10/10 & 2 in the NBA with enough PT and he'd come for the league minimum -- that might be what Noah gives us for 18mm a year--think about that for a sec. Willy/Bachynski could be a nice cost-effective offensive/defensive C tandem), offer Solomon Hill a contract in the $7-9mm/year range and then have money left over to improve other areas and/or to carry over into next summer and beyond. But if it's Noah/Solomon Hill in FA I'd be OK with that. Hill definitely over Lee for me. I'd go super aggressive after Solomon Hill as soon as the clock struck 12 tonight. Just my 2 cents.

Phil in win now mode for no reason. We're no closer to a chip. Overpaying for Noah then Lee. At least we can ditch Rose after 1 year, can't do that with these 2 bums.

If all this comes true, Phuck you Phil!

I'd rather pay Eric Gordon that money. At least Eric Gordon has consistently scored double figures evey year. Was a 20pt a game scorer before injuries.... but guys think that's ridiculous. I might need to go buy some sandpaper to see what all the rage is about

Yes, because free agents will be cheaper in subsequent years.

They won't, but you don't have to sign the likes of Courtney Lee and Eric Gordon.

You do know, you have a choice, right?

They're max players and will cost more, if you can even get them.

Now you're using your noggin! You don't have to get them, that's the whole point.
