    I LOVE Lowry's game and we do need him, but $6mm per is a lot of money.

    The Rockets can spend whatever they like to bring back their own players.

    I really like Lowry, and I think if he was playing starter minutes he might be worth that money. But as a backup, with Brooks on the team, that's going to be tough for Morey match. I'd like to hear what BimaThug thinks about it.

    Damn.

    Just . . . damn.

    If it's true and it's 4 yrs./$24M, then that puts the first year salary at about $5.37M.

    I just don't know if that isn't too rich for the Rockets' blood.

    I guess Kyle thinks that the Cavs will move Mo Williams to SG and start him at PG?

    Even crappier, if he already signed the offer sheet, the Rockets can't even salvage a ~$2.7M trade exception out of this. ;) :(

    Pay the man Daryl! Lowry has great potential to be our starter sometime this upcoming season, too.

    Don't they already have a PG in Mo Williams. So they are offering Lowry this money as a back up as well.

    I agree with you and believe i mentioned it in gilbert arenas thread saying that the hawks have shown serious interest in Mo, making the cavs the front runner for Lowry's services this year.

    Yeah. It's not my money so I don't care as long as it doesn't mess up the future cap space.
    Time for Bima to show us his knowledge again.

    Is there a player or team option in the 4th? Or are all 4 years guaranteed? Now that changes things up if the 4th year is a team option, id match it simply because it becomes a 3 year contract at that point for us

    3yrs for 18M is bad,the 4th year team option may make it a bit easier for Les to re-sign him. Who else is out there? How much would Augustin cost? He isn't as good as Lowry,but could he be a cheaper replacement?
