    4 years... 32 mil??... errr... not so sure about that signing Danny Ainge. Seems a bit high to me. I would have thought the smart thing to do would be to let him test the market and see if his price drops as GM's start signing other guys.

    Its funny that you really didn't hear much about Bradley these past few weeks. When guys like Jodie Meeks are getting 5 mil a year, and getting signed on the first day, you'd think there might be a bit more interest in Bradley.

    Four years, $32,000,000 for Avery Bradley?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    That's grotesque. Good for him, man; but still, gro-f******-tesque.

    Parsons' asking price just went up.

    Bradley wouldn't get that much from an offer sheet. And after big FA's come off the board no way.

    One of the reasons we may be going after Lowry. If we're going to have to pay Beverley $8 million, we might as well pay Lowry $11-12 million.

    Lol overpaid.

    So glad the Rockets shoot for 1st tier players.

    If you're going to overpay, shoot for the best.

    Nobody's paying Beverley 8 million. Bradley is at Least a above average offensive player.

    and sign Nick Johnson to a 4 year rookie contract, then hope he can bring the same or similar 3 and D as Bev did for a few more years...but if not cut him, find someone else who looks promising and repeat.

    Seems fine to me. Young and already a plus defender. Was playing out of position and comfort role a majority of his career. He'd actually be great next to harden.

    The same contract and almost current situation as George Hill.

    Considering that Morey always lets other teams make the first offer, I am not sure I would be cringing. Thus far it has worked out pretty well going with this strategy, well except Luis Scola.

    Wow. This just increased Bev's asking price. Even though Bradley is better, Bev can still ask for at least $5-6 million rather than the $2-3 million people thought he was worth.

    This is just the financial landscape of the NBA now. People wanna complain a lot about how much players make, but if you're a young and decent role player, your market value is $6 million minimum.

    Well he is a much better offensive player than Bev. Averaged 15 PPG this year with 39.5% shooting from 3. But I wouldn't say he's that good offensively.

    To be fair, he's a better defender than Danny Green and a much better shooter than Tony Allen. Not to mention he's very young and has improved quite a bit since his rookie year.

    I think it's probably going to be a solid deal.

    Bradley is already the best defensive shooting guard in the league at the age of 23. This contract is very reasonable, if you value defense.

    Definitely ONE of the best. I'd argue that Eric Bledsoe is pretty damn good
