I thought this article was pretty post until I looked a bit deeper at what Denver's been doing..
More than once Colangelo maxed-out his midlevel exception (Jason Kapono, 2007 and Linas Kleiza, 2010) whereas Ujiri never once used it up on a single player.
In July 2011, that was the first time he could have used the MLE, but they had the lockout. As you know that old MLE is dead now, the new one is shorter and in most cases teams will probably use the mini-MLE which is less money too.
So he basically had 2 chances where he could have signed someone to MLE, but under the new CBA which dramatically changed the MLE. Colangelo had like 5 or 6 years under the old CBA to (ab)use it.
How about Colangelo growing famously attached to some of his players whereas Ujiri would routinely re-sign his free agents only to deal them a few months later?
Or Colangelo basically ignoring the growing importance of the three-point shot while Ujiri made it a staple of his roster?
This really comes down to DeRozan and if he can develop a 3 point shot. Both teams shoot jumpers and jump shooting teams shoot a lot of 3s. We were 12th in 3PA/g, and if Bargnani had played a full season I'm sure we'd have been top 10.your pal,

I dont think ujiri is the savior you guys expect him to be.
Who the hell pays Javal mcgee 10 -12 million a YEAR!
Hes making andrea bargniani money and putting up half the stats, terrible decision.
and with him knowing rogers and bell are willing to go into luxury tax ujiri will go bananas with ridiculous contracts.
If you guys thought Colangelo was bad just wait and see...***

DeAndre Jordan is getting over $10M per season. There has always been a premium on athletic big men. There is also the possibility Karl is using the approach that so many defended Casey using on Raptor youth.
Regarding half the stats of Bargnani, I think you should look at the stats before such a statement.

People still think of McGee as the headcase in Washington but he's been a nice addition in Denver.

7 points and 5 rebounds per game.
but looking at his regular season stats 9 points 4 rebounds per game, not much of a difference.
Yes andrea hasnt lived up to expectations, and believe me i probably hate him more than anyone here, but at least when he was given that contract he was putting up 21 points and 5 boards a game.
I cant pay a guy 10 mill plus for putting up reggie evans numbers.
and the clippers are in a different situation that denver, theyre competing for a championship, in those cases you overpay for quality role players, jordan fits perfectly with griffin, plus he gets a lot of minutes.

I don't want Masai anymore...I'm angry now.... If it takes you four days to decide whether a 3 million dollar raise and total basketball control are a good idea, there is clearly something wrongFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

There is typically a "make a decision date" on such deals or one party looks like a chump if it drags out. I dont see a Lieweke putting up with the drag out unless there has been a conversation about the holdup. We just dont know.
