Mobley: likely a 2-year deal with third year option

I have a question on Shandon Anderson's contract. Is it a player option or team option for the third yr?

Clutch, we don't get Shandon's bird rights for another 2 years because of his player-option?

I doubt that Shandon will go for another "cheap" contract after the money he gave up to come here.

if Shandon waits 1 more year (doesn't exercise his option and takes the 3rd year at around 2.6 I believe) then we have his big bird rights, and can max him out.

Francis will just be a restricted, so he shouldn't have us sweating over money.

Trade or bench Kenny Thomas.

 

MManal, Shandon's contract has a player's option.

The Chronicle reported that the average salary was officially set at $3.63 million. That means Mobley's max on the first year is $3.9204 million (which I'm sure he got). Assuming 12.5% raises, his contract is worth $4.41045 million in the second year and $4.9005 million in the third, and $13.23135 altogether.

So how much money does Cat have to give back to the NBA due to the CBA agreement?

------------------
"Your not a real member of CC.net unless you have 1000 posts"

 

what am I missing here. Feagan said that Mobley could negotiate an opt-out, the AP-wire is saying Lewis did negotiate an opt-out, and now Clutch is saying Shandon has an opt-out.

The early termination loop-hole (sign long contract with opt-out to become free agent early) was sealed by the new CBA. It takes 5 years to exercise an opt-out now. In fact, the Patricia Salary Sheet has a legend that incluse opt-outs ("x-outs"). She does not have one player in the entire league with an opt-out clause in their contract.

 

I am wondering if what we promised Shandon was a big pay day after 2 yrs or 3 yrs. I am hoping the way it works is that if the Rockets can get a big ticket FA ie. Webber that Shandon would wait 1 yr for his payday otherwise, the Rockets would give him his extension in 2001 with cap space. I think that would be fair and hope Shandon is ok with some type of arrangement like that.

heypartner,

read your other post... aelliott differentiated between opt-outs and etos

------------------
In related news, the RNC has gathered every politician that Bill Clinton ever defeated to speak on behalf of George W. Bush.

 

So, achebe...working on your post count I see.

I got stuck on opt-outs meaning ETOs, whereas it is just one type.

But the Aldridge 6yr for Mobley led to speculation that he could opt-out at 2yrs like the old CBA allowed. That's all I was trying to clarify with Feagan's vague wording.

carry on...

 

So is that incorrect?

Rockets give guard multi-year contract


August 2, 2000

HOUSTON (AP) -- Cuttino Mobley, runner-up for the sixth man
award last season, reached agreement Wednesday with the Houston
Rockets on a six-year, $31 million contract.

Get Bo!

 

A long term contract, huh? It sounds very similar to Walt's contract. What if this big money deal turns Cat into another Wizard? Remember how good Walt was supposed to become? Now he's an NBA nomad. Or worse--- another Cato! Nothing about Mobley suggests this could happen (and I still have hopes for Cato), just something to think about.

Kenny Thomas had a foul called on him in the Western Conference Finals.

 

Quick CBA question

Now the Cuttino is all signed, how long before we can

CUT TINO

Good question Smeg. I have another... if we buy him out before training camp does his salary count against next year's cap?

yeah, now that he is signed, everyone can start b****ing about his shot selection, FG%, turnovers and way he just looks awkward on the floor. That way BBS can stay alive and overcome the loss of 50 repeated will mobes stay threads a day.
