He can't cost more than 4 Million. And will probably cost a third of what Matthews will cost. The market for players like him is about 12-15 Million over 4 years.

He is looking for a long term contract. I listened to an interview. That is what every player is worried about right now.

Okay so it's reasonable to expect Brown to get a 3 year, 9M offer then? If so, that's 2M more per year than if we sign some scrub on the cheap which is what I think we'll do. Throw in the 2M tax penalty too and that's a 4M difference, no?

Ya he wouldn't cost that much. If he was 2 inches taller he would get a Matthews type deal. But GM's are afraid of his height. But his wingspan is actually longer than most SG's. And he is easily one of the most athletic players in the league. I would give him 15 per year if needed. But I think we can still low ball him and secure him. He is worth to me. We have to sign somebody for the 2 guard position.
Matthews would cost 9.4 Million this year. Only 5 counts towards luxury. So he realistically costs us 15 Million this year. Compared to the other 4 guys we are looking at.
 
These FAs jump out at me, but I'm not necessarily advocating them - just worth looking into.

Patty Mills (Restricted)
Will Bynum (Restricted)
Shannon Brown
Roger Mason
Jannero Pargo
Ronnie Brewer
Joe Alexander (does he suck or something? he got drafted high but never got PT)
Flip Murray
Anthony Tolliver
Luther Head
Rasual Butler
Steve Novak
Jerry Stackhouse (doesn't he love Sloan? )
 
Y'know, Shannon Brown wasn't really used in Charlotte. It was after he was traded to LA that he got playing time. Now everyone's high on him. And now it'll cost $ to get him.

So who's another Shannon Brown that hasn't gotten playing time that'll come hungry, like Wesley Matthews, but cheap. There have gotta be more guys desperate and forgotten about because they're never given a chance always riding the pine. That's why I advocate bringing in Joe Alexander to training camp. Why? I don't know - the spirit tells me to.

Someone who knows more than I do tell me why Alexander has fallen by the wayside.

We need a shooting guard. Alexander is a tweener between a 3 and a 4. He is athletic but he can't shoot and he can't guard 3's and he is too small to guard the 4's. He doesn't really have a place and he doesn't have potential to play either position. At best he would become a player playing 15 minutes a night. Alexander became the first lotto pick who they released after 2 years. He was the earliest rookie lotto ever to become released(after 2 years).
He did have the best athletic numbers in the draft but he does not have a NBA game.

Again this is about SG's. Not forwards.

LA used him during there first championship. And than he signed a 2 year deal after that. There aren't many teams going after him right now according to rumors. Shannon brown got paid 1.9 Million last year. He opted out and he wants a long term deal. Websites have stated he wants 2.5 Million per year but a long contract. That is not hard to do.

While I agree with not seeing Brewer again. I'd rather have neither at Mathews' contract.

I just know that if we can't get Barnes or Brown than we will sign Brewer if we let Matthews go. I just would rather not take chances on getting Brewer because I know Sloan will play him a lot of minutes. Than we will have the same problems again. Just would rather take the hit of luxury for one year to avoid Brewer alone. After this year he would get about 5.5 Million.

I've been screaming it. Brown and Barnes all the way.

Did you know Brown has a 7' wingspan?

He also has massive hands according to the Lakers trainer and people in the organization. That is how he palms the ball on dunks so easily. That also helps with defense.
