$17 Mil/Year for Amir Johnson & Jonas Jerebko? Update: 2nd Year non-guaranteed

[BleedGreen1989]

Ok, I'm officially depressed. What is Ainge doing?

Hey! At least our highest paid player is now Amir Johnson!

[chambers]

Jerebko might be going out soon in a trade. That's a solid amount to throw in as part of a package to make salaries match.

Beyond depressed. I'm waiting for the 12 mil a year for Crowder.

[Donoghus]

Deep breathes....its for two years.  Only two years & could possibly be less.

i don't think you can attach him with other contracts in a s+t , only draft picks.

I could be wrong though.....

2 years, 24 million for Amir Johnson.  Ridiculous and quite frankly unbelievable.

[alewilliam789]

No I think it's great. Waste our cap space on mediocre players that fill no needs. Ainge deserves to lose his Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing job for the Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. he did this offseason.

I have a feeling this means Crowder isn't coming back.

Take a look around the league and see why we need to spend a lot of money when we aren't going to contend for a championship. Would like to see Young get some burn here and see what we have. Figure out if we can get Harris for real as that may depend on Millsap and if they think Harris would be a good fit next to him. If not would Harris be better than keeping Bradley here next to Young or Harris next to Young.

Wasn't a fan, but with this, it makes this a much better deal. Those are powerful trade tools.

[Donoghus]

Low & behold, look what Danny did.

I wish we'd rebuild through the draft.

Amir Johnson is very underrated, from what I've seen he is a greg monroe type with better defense. that contract looks big now but will look much better next year than paying the max for monroe. He will be a nice compliment to sully/olynyk.

The Jerebko contract seems too much, he is at best the 8th or 9th guy, id rather see that money go towards a corey brewer or help resign crowder.

this just went from very bad to good. way better to have 1 year stop gaps then bringing in the wrong player on a max contract.
