Match it Oh, and @basketballholic was wrong all this time about a DMo Gets His Big Money. This is really just longer, not more money than the $8m starting salary we heard in July
If we match, he becomes our 4th-highest paid player. Ariza's contract was such a shrewd deal by Morey.
Wow that is a bargain deal - surprised it is for 4 years.....would have thought there were some Player options in there. DD
Eh, i'm not sure it's that easy, if you match you may need to dump Trevor and/or Pat next summer to create a max spot, not sure this is absolutely correct but not that far from the truth i think...i hope to be wrong and we match but eh...
Can't wait to see how much is guaranteed. That's the real story. The numbers are not bad except that we can't trade him for a full year from now.
Lols basketballholic was either very wrong about the numbers, or was wrong about saying BJ and DMo aren't morons for not signing 3/45 to 4/60, and losing all that money by holding out for more. Looks like DMo lost $26m by not signing "$23m plus ~$3m for missed games", AND lost an entire guaranteed year.
Honestly I don't see how DMo fits in our new offense. Can't shoot like Ryan Anderson, can't play defense like Capela. I mean sure he is decent, but you don't know how well he is physically. I feel like he has gotten close to his ceiling. I loved DMo in the 2014-15 season, but now I don't think we need him. I'd rather see more Harrell and Dekker.
2 non guaranteed years on back end? Are they player or team options? If they are TEAM options it is a slam dunk match. DD
