RWF Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Wesley Matthews supposedly wants 15. I believe that is what we are looking at with DMC. 13-15. Edited July 1, 2015 by RWF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) DMC will easily get 12 mil per year, maybe even more. I've thought that after the year he's had $12m is realistic. He is certainly gonna get paid. We may get a minor discount to keep him but I doubt much. I figure $11.5 for DMC and the $16.5 (as earlier posted) for Millsap. That's $28m to keep them both in the fold - I say do it - not my money. If what the new owner says is true (on AJC.com earlier) that we will go past the cap but basically stop right before the luxury tax kicks in...we can afford that. Lets face it - the price of poker is going up (one can only imagine what the "important" fans have been saying in New York, Chicago, Indy and Detroit: "What the hell are the F'n HAWKS doing in the ECFs !!!....we better get our cr@p in GEAR !!) Let's face it - "us" going to the ECFs this year is akin to Kentucky going to the Championship game in the SEC. . .

Bamalawdawg Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) 4/30 for a career backup, ouch. Anyone who signed a long deal before this year is getting screwed. Are there enough cap dollars out there for the top 30 FAs to all get $7 mil starting and up? EDIT - actually the list I'm looking at now has Aminu as the 46th ranked free agent. yikes Edited July 1, 2015 by Bamalawdawg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomFan Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Whoa. The most recent speculation was he was going to get around $4 to $5m per season. That contract is for $7.5 and a pretty big jump over that. This doesn't bode well for getting DMC for around $10 to 11m. But there are people that think we shouldn't pay DMC over $8m per season.

DJlaysitup Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 "Are there enough cap dollars out there for the top 30 FAs to all get $7 mil starting and up?" It seems like it's weird this year Bamalaw...kinda like wives who know their husbands are getting big promotions. Everybody knows the big money is coming next year - so if you can spend now on a credit card somehow - who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWF Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I really like the Tobias Harris idea, I know it's most likely going to be Sap/DMC both re-signing, but Harris at 22 years old putting up 17 and 6, I would jump at the chance to get that.

Moderators AHF Posted July 1, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 If DMC gets $13 we have to unload players to afford it, right? This is getting dicey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
