Nash starting salary

[slinslin]

10,000,000$

Nash to Suns is reportedly 5 years over $65 million

That's gonna look like this.

Year:$
1:$10.0 million
2:$11.0 million
3:$12.0 million
4:$13.0 million
5:$14.0 million
6:$15.0 million(option for a buyout for $5 million)
TOTAL $65 million guaranteed, he'll get $5 million his 6th year if the team decides to but him out, although if they keep him its 6 years $75mil


Offer Camby something starting at 6M$. If he takes it fine. If not move on to the next center prospects.

Man Slin, I really don't think Nash will see the end of that contract with us. However, I do think it may cut into getting a decent center this year (meaning other than Okur.). I wonder how much Nash would really have gotten from another team?

9 teams were under the cap. Who knows...he was the best guard after Kobe for sure.

Well, they better keep him healthy. If he ends up consistently on the injured list the Suns are going to look like pretty big idiots. All they need to do now is throw $10 million at JJ next summer and they will be overpaying everyone on the team.

And despite what Colangelo said about the 16.3M$ caproom.

We should still have 6.3-8.0M$ caproom if the cap is 44-46M$. Colangelo might not have been exact on those numbers in the interview since the cap won't be set until the end of the negotiating period anyway.

I don't think $6.3m is enough room for Okur, unless Amare goes over to his house in a limo or something.

Does Jackson Vroman's salary count under the cap yet, or not until he's signed?

That's true. I guess I would have been ecstatic if we signed him for 7 to 8 million starting because that leaves more money to sign 1, possibly 2 free agents this year. Or leave cap to extend Amare or JJ!

the pistons can only offer him the MLE. if they go .01 over that pistons cant match. now who he signs an offer sheet from may make a differance. but once a offer sheet is signed there is only the fact that if they will match it.

of course all of this changes if the pistons give up on wallace. then they will have a lot of money to resign him.

vroman salary doesnt count against the cap until after he has signed it. as a second round pick isnt promised any money. i would think that they would sign him to a summer contract (doesnt count against the cap) and then wait till they have signed anyone else that they want before signing him late in the year.

They will have the free agents signed before Vroman. It always works that way for the rookies. Besides, Vroman will hardly cost anything against our cap. The top half of the first round guys are over a million of a year, then it drops off steeply after that. Vroman won't hurt us signing anyone.

I don't think the Pistons will be the Suns' main competition for Okur, though.

I hope I'm wrong. Okur for $5.1m would be pretty damned cool.

 

[sunsfn]

I am a little shocked right now..........All the reports kept saying we were going after him.......I like Steve Nash but, wow that much salary seems like too much!!

Maybe the other reports about Okur are true then??

They have enough for him, but I do not think they can sign Okur and McDyess. Maybe they do not want to.
