What kind of money will Goran Dragic get paid this summer?

4 years, $12-$15 million per year.

 

4 years 14 mil per yr

or

5 years 12.5 mil per yr

 

Bledsoe money I think. Bledsoe got that contract because of his minimal leverage as a RFA. Though no team had max money to spend I think this is what both parties agreed to the value of him as a player. There are a number of teams with cap space this summer (nyk and LAL) to name a couple and he's right up at the top of the FA list (particularly of FA likely to leave their current teams and bird right behind). I also think a lot of GM's will be a little spend happy believing a cap bump is coming too the following year.

4 year max if he leaves ($80 million)
5 year close to max if he stays with the team with bird rights ($85-90).

That's top end. If the market wasn't abnormal I think the normal contract would be 4/60 or 5/70. Parsons contact is an indicator for me of how GM's are already beginning to shift the value of these players with more cap space coming down the pipeline.

 

Lowry's money is about right I guess. But I doubt he will have Lowry's level of production on the court.

 

4-years, $14-15M/year ... perhaps more if the Knicks knicks.

 

i'd say lowry money is fair, but money talks. teams like the knicks and lakers could overpay just to stay relevant.

that's why its important to nab him by the deadline and get an extension in place.

 

I fully expect Dragic to be traded and the new team will re-sign him.

No way the Suns sign him to a big contract after already paying Bledsoe. The talk about them wanting to keep Dragic and trade someone else away is just smoke and mirrors.

If in February somehow the Suns believe they have a legit shot at the playoffs, maybe they keep him the entire season. That would be very irresponsible.
