I’d take the 1st option… oops too late. :D

It's all about averages

Salary starts at the MLE, but when you have the standard increases over X number of years, the total package averages out to nine mil per year.

actually it doesn't

5/35 is about the max you can do in a MLE deal, and it averages to 7 million per year. the author was taking some pretty serious liberties in equating it to 9 million a year. The total money is comparable, because the 9 mill deal was only for 4 years instead of 5. Plus the author is banking on some equalizing becuase of Florida’s lack of income tax – but that equates to roughly 750k a year, not the 2 million difference.

How did you guys win that?

Yeah...

I was scratching my head with that also. Gosh…I really hope they do offer 5 years at $9 mil/per

I don't know

It’s starting to look like things weren’t as peachy in L.A. as they’d have everyone believe. He had to have known there aren’t alot of big contracts that could’ve been offered even had teams wanted to, so it tells me he’d rather take less money to not play with the Lakers.

Give him 5/50 KP!!!

Get it done!
