Hollinger thinks the Okur extension is "genius"

And he never said "I volunteer to play for $7-8 million per year." He said that if the difference in the entire contract offer was $3 to $5 million, he wouldn't move. In the end, there was no other contract offer because he didn't opt out.
 
Still don't like the extension as I don't think he is worth it. He is not what we need so I would be fine if he walked. And he never set any figure for what he would sign for nor would anyone with a brain or an agent. He did say something about giving us a discount if he opted out which obviously he didn't do. Either way I am sure he thinks he did give us a discount.

he signed for $22 million, right? that is just two more than Darko Milicic! and now, with the ACL injury, he might be done for good at the end of this contract. so, you can be dammed sure he thinks he gave us a discount.
 
If he's such a bargin he'll be easy to trade right?
Other teams will be dying to pick him up right?

*snicker*

I am sure he knows the difference between 2 years and 4 years
 
So basically what he meant was he would sign with Utah for 2y/20M as opposed to Memphis or something for 2y/24M. Not 7-8M per season.
 
2 more years at 9.5 and 11 is hardly catastrophic from a Cap standpoint. Yeah, it Memo only hobbles back a shell of himself it hurts us. But as long as he gets back to some semblance of his former self by the end of next year, Memo as an 11 million dollar expiring is not a terrible chip to have. Like AK, he'll be a deadline guy that could attract interest from contending teams. There's a difference between being overpaid and worthless. Eddy Curry is worthless. Memo is far from worthless.
 
like i've said before... 2 yrs and 21M is fair market value for a starting NBA center, especially one who was an all-star. that doesn't mean his 10.5M won't kill the jazz financial competitiveness, though.

I dont count AllStars that make it based of injuries.
