[Confirmed] Chuck Hayes has 4 year, $20M offer from Sacramento

I think the Rockets just have no interest at that price. Too bad. Hayes got to FA at the wrong time from the Rockets perspective. We just cleaned house and built a team full of expiring contracts and young players. He doesn't fit the team going either direction.

At least he'll certainly make more than enough to retire on with this contract. Kudos to him for accomplishing so much as a former undrafted guy.

 

By my rough calculation: $5M salary - 10% escrow, 41 games in California vs 41 games in Texas, so 1/2 of gross: $212,585 extra income tax per year assuming Chuck has a really bad accountant.

$4.3M starting with maximum 7.5% raises gets you even with the offer.

Don't think it's worth it.

 

Good luck to the ChuckWagon.

Glad Morey won't match.

 

Yep!

Gotta clear up that capspace for 2012!

Chris Paul and Dwight Howard pipe dream here we come!



Morey messed up on this one for sure.

 

Alright!! Chuck is out.

 

Crap. How ****ing depressing. I just can't see Morey paying Chuck 20/4. If we already had our superstar locked up, maybe, but he won't want a cap hit this large when he's still trying to deal. This is a blow to the team. We just lost a big part of why we've managed decent records despite the injuries. We just lost our best defensive mentor on the court. Sad news.

 

This, give Thabeet the minutes, rather crash and burn with potential than another # 14 pick.

 

See ya Chuck. Thanks got the memories.

If trade a Chuck for the Dalembert of late last season with the kings. He was great protecting the rim.

 

!!!

Yup I got faith in THA"BEST"...watch hes gonna prove the haters wrong..

 

C'mon man! In Morey we trust!

Gotta know we have the best GM in the league who's flawless!

 

And players were protesting over dollars and cents in this CBA nightmare of a debacle.

go chuck!!! woohoo!!! you are inspiration to all of us!!! keep up your good work and you inspire me to work hard on my game despite being much shorter than the others around me!!!

go show your worth and spread your wings back home!!!

 

If recent reports are correct, Dalembert better protect his BMI with all these Tex Mex resturaunts in Houston.

I'd say that makes it a pretty good bet Chuck will be wearing one of those new black jerseys the Kings were hyping today.

 

He's from the area, so I'm sure he'll be extremely happy to be playing in front of his hometown crowd year in and year out.

Plus, he's still quite young and his game depends nothing on athleticism.

woohoo!! go chuck!!

 

I am not surprised that a big man that averaged 8/8 while playing great defense got $20M. I just thought it would be from a good team awash with cash like Boston rather than a rebuilding team like Sacramento. Either way, best of luck to Chuck. He was a beast for us under two very different coaches and I think he'll be great for the Kings.

 

Wonder how the rest of our guys will feel and be affected by this.

Lowry said he would be "extremely upset" if Chuck isn't back and Patterson and Martin both said the same.

 

He'll be fine. He doesn't have a history of being Eddy Curry.

We need a rim protector in the worst way and now we have him.

 

This sets the price for big men. Gasol and Chandler are going " mmmmmmmmmmmmm delicious......."

 

one good news:

we dont have to read post with chuck starting over Scola anymore

 

i will miss him
