Then give him $45 million for 5 years and let's move on to bigger and better things. The answer is give him $45 million for 5 years. You can insure the contract. Give him $45 million for 5 years and let's go on to something else. Goran is a big, strong kid. Anybody can get hurt but he's not a weak, fragile guy. He's a gamer. THe odds are he will outperform the $45 million. We're talking about a guy that most everybody on this board feels is at least 75% as good or better than the best PG in the league. And paying him $9 million per over 5 years is less than half what the most elite PGs are going to make over the next 5 years. It's stupid to dicker over it. Give him the loot and let's move on to something bigger and better.
The Suns gave him $34 million over 4 years and Morey/Less thought it was "too rich." Chew on that for a while. I'm going to bed and try not to kill myself.
