Gives him more flexibility to not get stuck into a bad situation.

So, I guess the "King" is inmune to career altering injuries?

I don't like to jinx people, but oh boy, how much arrogance this line of thougth would show if it's true indeed, along with his failed attempt to avoid another pre-The-decision road circus, by filtering via agent, their others suitors pitchs, wich fire back as arrogance as well. Yeah, that is a good idea.

From the creators of "The Decision", we presented you with "Pilgrims of the empty throne room"

Maybe I'm giving too much credit to Lebron, and all of this is just plain dumbness.

I'm sure the dude's already set for life. He doesn't need to worry about anything after this 42 million in two years.

In such case, why is he asking for the Max?

Then be serious about it and take a mid level deal with whoever you want and let team bring along max players who really need the money!!!

Hammer stays in WASH.. 5/60.

[Shabazz]

Sorry, SDC.

Although I'm not the least bit sorry we didn't give him that contract.

[Aztec Sunsfan]

The mythical fifth year!!!

Well played Marcin, well played, I feel great for the guy, specially because we are not the suckers giving out that eternal contract.

So, his AAV was 9, and he got 12... Who's next?

[TOO]

5 years, no options, ouch. 1 Heat target down.

[In2ition]

Phew, dodged another SDC bullet.

[TOO]

Livingston to GSW.. 3 years

I actually like that..Livingston and Curry together.

[Superbone]

Hammer stays in WASH.. 5/60.

Wow! Congrats to him. Set for life.

Preparing for life after Thompson?

Possibly more to play that Jarrett jack role off the bench. They missed him a lot last season

I approve this message.

I wonder if Wade/Bosh could get max money elsewhere like say Dallas or Olando...?

Fair deal all the way around. He has the security of years, and its a fair price for a big man, especially if the cap and therefore market standard goes up in the next few years. Very pleased for Gortat.

[Phoenix219]

Or maybe he is just duping everyone so that they hold out for something that isn't going to happen while the Heat swoop in on the lower tier FAs that they should be pursuing.

And leave them scrambling at the end, like NY a few years ago.

[carey]

5/60 is "fair" for Gortat? Uh, ok.

He loves his ex-Suns.

I'd rather max Monroe than pay Hammer 12M thru the age of 35. No upside there.
