http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1914283 Jason Richardson signed 6 years for 71 million (worth 40 million at most) Troy Murphy signed 6 years for 60 million (worth 45 million) Adonal Foyal signed 5 years for 40 million (worth 20 million) Derek Fisher signed 6 years for 37 million (worth 15 million) Wow...that is 208 million worth of players. Somebody fire this dumbass.
Wow. Except for Troy Murphy, that's pretty bad. I really like Murphy's game, the little I've seen of him. He might actually earn that contract.
That's some big bucks for Richardson and Murphy. I like Murphy's game but at 10M a year? Not that much! Richardson at 11M+ per year is amazing too! I mean I think Q. Richardson is better and he is making around 8 M per. No question that the Warriors overpaid EVEYONE this summer. At least they are showing a committment though.
Derek Fisher of course isn't even starting. I can give him the Richardson and Murphy signings even though I think those are still somewhat loopy. But damn, Adonal Foyle for that much?
I think Q. Richardson's contract is the only 6-year contract this summer that is fair. 6 years at 45 million is a steal! Clippers could have had BOTH Cory Maggette and Q for 6 years at 87 million...that is such a damn bargain. I can't believe they didn't jump on it.
It says to me that GS is not a 'destination' team and Mullin has to OVERpay to get committments. San Francisco not a destination? What a franchise!
