Discuss. He made a real difference in the Mavs' title run this past year. How does he stack up with Earl Watson?
J.J. Barea ?

Stacks up as too expensive.
He's a back-up PG. He's like 5'10". He shouldn't be too expensive. Lets see what he gets offered vis a vis Watson. I bet their price range is closer than you think.
He's a defensive liability, but he can get in the lane and isn't afraid to shoot.

Whats your guess on how much JJ will make? Total, and how many years.
Just think though all of the Carlos Arroyo fans who left the site might come back if we got Barrea
Well, lets see. He turns 28 this year. Made $1.8M for the Mavericks last year. I doubt anyone will give him more than a 2 or 3-year deal at $2.25 - $2.6M. Maybe he gets a bunch of offers and ends up with someone's mini mid-level exception. Otherwise, I think two years at $2.5 is probably the over/under.

Barea's going to get at least 3yr/12M.
Watson got the league minimum last year. Will likely not make more than that league minimum.

Well, if that happens, it is probably the most you'd want to pay a journeyman back-up ( *cough* *cough* Raja *cough*).

Well, Bell's was 3yr/9.72M. Over 2 million less. And that the lowest I think Barea will get, 3/12. Could get another year or a few more million.
