Cool. The Mavs have both Doncic and Campazzo. Our home opener should be fun.

[Wally_West]

Gonna make the bold prediction that nothing gets done with Cam’s extension.

Pretty bold with two minutes to go.

Sigh …

[Aztec Sunsfan]

Now we know that Cam J it’s on the table for a posible trade this year.

With an extension, he would become a Poison Pill Player, making him very hard to include on deals. It’s a business after all.

[Wally_West]

Posting because I know Sauce would want to see this…

[carey]

So Cam basically wanted Mikal money? Was he 4/90 or 4/100?

[Flagrant Fowl]

Mikal signed for 4yr/$90M, so yeah, close to the same.

IMO, Mikal has one of the most team-friendly contracts in the league, but I could see the Suns using his deal as leverage to sign Cam for less than the "reported' $85M.

Joe Johnson part 2. Quibbling over a few million. The dysfunction just never ends with this team.

[Flagrant Fowl]

No one is going to offer Cam a contract like the one the Hawks did for Joe Johnson.

[pickle]

I think he’s referring to not locking him up over a relatively meager difference. I don’t think that analogy is terribly off. What happens at next off season tho is anybody’s guess. I also don’t think he gets a max offer but if we end up losing him I would be very very disappointed.

[Flagrant Fowl]

The small difference is the only part that is comparable. Pretty much everything else (GM, role, age, talent, etc.) are different.

[Split T]

JJ was over 5 million…less than a million a year over the life of the contract. This is 13 million…3.25 million a year. Small enough that I do think we should have done it, but not as bad as passing on the JJ deal.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Cam Johnson vs. PJ Washington, two guys who didn't get extended. PJ is two years younger.

Yeah but this is almost twice as much money overall, so percentage-wise there is very little difference.

If this ends poorly, I guess we can bookend Sarver's time as owner with the Johnson & Johnson fiascos.

In what kind of math is 85 mil twice 75 mil?
