    I know that the new CBA will only allow so much right ? what is that amount ?

    Say there wasn't a new CBA how much do you think teams would be willing to offer Francis? 12 mill a yr? 15 mil ? you put your thoughts in..................

    The max under the new CBA is 9 million per season for a person with Francis' experience in the league.

    If not, we would see some astronomical numbers flying at Francis. I'd guess close to 15 million.

    Looking for next year's Dan Langhi?

    If he becomes a like a 23-8-6 type of a guy, then I'd say around 18-20 million.

    Lets get Steve rich before he hits the age that Olajuwon signed his big contract at. [​IMG]

    Under the new CBA, could Olajuwon still make that much if he resigned, lets say....Last year?

    BTW guys, look at how long I've been here and the # of my posts. [​IMG]

    The Cat,

    Actually, the $9m Max is not static. It moves up with the salary cap. I've believe it is more accurate to say that the max for Francis will be $9m or 25% of the salary cap (whichever is greater).
