Likewise. I wouldn't have offered any more than 3mil per and if Amare leaving was a forgone conclusion I would have just let him walk.
Also there really isn't much in the way of 2011 FA outside Melo, 2012 may be a better option.
There may not even be a season in 2011 (in fact, the odds are good that there will not be). THAT is why you see all this free agency/trade activity.
