    Wow, he deserves more than that but he was the heart and soul of the Grizzlies so I guess he didn't want to leave

    Good money. This is going to get JR Smith an $8 mil a year deal.

    Iggy is a couple of years younger and more likely to remain at the top of his game through all 4 years of his contract. He's also not the complete zero on offense that Allen is.

    But he ain't worth $36 million more over 4 years.

    Congratulations to Memphis on that signing. Fantastic value for them considering they were paying him peanuts on his previous contract.

    That much? But that's Chase Budinger level money!
