While the general consensus of the board after the draft has been to re-sign Maurice Taylor, but how much is he worth? Is he asking for the max next year? In my opinion, we should sign him to a two year deal worth 5-6 per year, and then award him with the Bird rights if necessary. I'm sorry, it'd be stupid to pay Maurice THAT much money I think. I like his game, but he's not a max player. ------------------ Louisville Rockets my ass
He knows that he won't make the max. He will make around the $6-7 million a year mark. ------------------ Stevierebel
Shoot, I'd say 6-7 the first year, and it escalates each year ... I dunno how many years he wants to sign for, though. ------------------ Founding Father of the Refs Suck Club
I would give him the same contract that we gave Cat. He is not as good but big men receive premiums in the NBA. I think it is 6 yr, 30 million. ------------------ Fuggetabout it
He will get more than Mobley because he is a big man. Shooting guards are not as hard to find. ------------------
Bernie, problem is that we can't sign him to over $4.5m (Middle Class Exception) until we sign or release Dream. I have a feeling that Dream won't negotiate quickly unless we approach a salary that he likes ($7m at least). Anything over $4.5m is going to have to come from pure capspace (which we don't have right now).
