Add two more million on to the 8 mill that Mobley left and sign D-Lee to a new contract.:beer:
Cat's salary is 9.1 + 9.8 till 2010
anyway, D-Lee isnt much better (if better at all) than tough do-it-all guys from winning teams like Anderson Varejao, Shane Battier or Linas Kleiza. He would probably be a backup in a team with Bosh.
I dont want to see us pay him more than these guys are usually payed, around midlevel.
10 mil average salary is for guys like Josh Smith, Danny Granger or Chris Kaman
Even guys like Josh Howard, Tayshaun Prince, Andris Biedrins arent getting 10 mil a year contracts
If D-Lee wants something around 6-6.5 mil a year, sign him, contending teams need guys like that. If he wants more, screw it, thats overpaying
Pack him with Curry for LaFrentz expiring contract and a young cheap guard, or whatever is available
