Raps,should be looking to cash out high on ED

Totally. He's a borderline starter who some actually believe is a young Charles Barkley. Trade high.

Alas, the far more likely outcome is a 5-year, $50 million extension :|

5 years 50 too high

4 years 38 with incentives pushing to 42 seems much more likely

... and Calderon, and Anderson, and Lowry while he's still on such a good contract, and DeRozan while he's still rookie scale (oops, too late for that one)

Nilanka's point (I believe) was that it would most likely be Bryan handing out the extension... so 5 and 50 makes far more sense unfortunately.

fair enough... I stand corrected

[BallaBalla]

Or KLove?

There are certain guys like rose and Klove who clearly have been granted superior status because of what they have done in the past (i.e. an MVP and a guy who has recorded ridiculous amounts of 20-20 games for someone before 25)

Im not saying I agree with any of this, but Im just trying to make sense of it

Unless the plan is for The Spin Doctor to be with the organization at the beginning of next season, I am doubtful he would be able to extend players next summer without authorization from his boss.

GMs prefer to make their own roster decisions and I believe extending a player for 4 or 5 years at starter money next summer would send a strong, negative message to the GM candidates.

[Pill]

Imagine if he played for more than 3 quarters a game.

I agree, the list is kinda confusing seeing as it's a list of just this year.
