    Damn, didn't expect that. Possibly playing until he is 39? Dude loves to compete.

    Not surprised at all. He's got something left in the tank and playing for a coach other than Doc would be very hard for him.

    earned being the operative word here, probably not

    It's good to see a star that puts forth significant effort on the defensive end get some cash, it's well deserved.

    Will this affect Jesus Shuttlesworth's possible return?

    I think he is likely to move along.

    Do they have the money to bid on a guy like Hibbert?

    11.5 mil a year?

    now that the market has been established, Nash is going to want a similar contract.

    If he plays like he did in the playoffs, that is easily worth it.

    Overpaid, I would do a 11.34 mil the first year, but there's going to be a big decline the next 2 years IMO. should've been a contract worth maybe 24 Mil. first year=11.34 mil, second year=7.5 mil, and final year=5 mil.

    Garnett was solid last year but no way I pay him that much for that long.

    I can't believe the 3rd year is fully guaranteed. There has to be a buyout provision.

    Everyone wants to call KG a douche bag but a player in his position would have probably retired or went to a team like Miami. Props to KG for staying with Boston even if the future might look bleak.
