It's a lot of money, but you can make an argument that it's a bargain for what he brings.

BTW, Aldridge might cancel the rest of his meetings and the Suns might not be able to get a chance to give their pitch.

Suns too busy entertaining the likes of Aldridge and Love, meanwhile all the FA's they might have a chance with are signing elsewhere.

That's alright. We didn't need another small forward.

I'll admit I don't know a whole lot about the CBA but these signings are making me hope that the owners are right and the salary cap goes up exponentially. If not, these crazy signings could bring about another lockout. I mean, $15 million a year for Demarre Carroll?!

If LMA doesn't sign with the Spurs then he is an idiot.

Either way there will be another lock out. We might as well plan for that every single time now.

So the Lakers whiffed on LMA, and I doubt Love is signing there. That pick is likely gonna be another lottery pick again.

The cap will absolutely, unequivocally, increase exponentially. These deals will take up small percentages of the cap when it happens.

If Millsap takes the magic offer 4/80, I'd be tempted to go after Tobias Harris. Not necessarily because he's a good fit, but he'd be a good asset with the way money is being thrown around. Although that didn't work out too great with Isaiah Thomas.
