Wow another overpriced contract this summer.  I'd be surprised if the Rockets matched it.

Wow another overpriced contract this summer...

Wow another overpriced contract this summer...

Loading up big dollars on average players is a good way to run in place for a middle-of-the-road team.

Very bad idea.

Kyle Lowry is a better player than Mo Williams.

I actually don't mind this deal. I always thought that Kyle Lowry   could develop into a very solid starting pg in the league, he's alerady one of the better defensive guards, and I think he is better then Mike Conley. He seems like he can be a rondo lite....

Kyle Lowry is a better player than Mo Williams.

And will be paid half as much.

I actually really like Lowry as a true 1. Great player, but that's big bucks.

Wow.  Any word yet on how much Nate Robinson is getting paid?  Whatever it is, you know it pales in comparison to Lowry.  Way to go Danny!

Someone suggested they could mean the end of West in Cleveland.


Come Cavs, waive him.  Let him come back to the Celtics.  (little chance he would go to Miami)

I expect Houston to match that offer sheet. They value Lowry very highly.

I think Lowry topped out their team on adjusted plus/minus last year. One of Morey's main stats.

I mentioned in a thread the other day about Danny's patience paying off.

THIS is where he needs to sit back and watch these deals unfold...  We still have 'Sheed's contract, and once these teams do something really stupid, Danny might be able to "steal" someone because a team gets desperate and has to make another move.

I don't know Battier's contract status, but he's a guy I'd be looking at if Houston matches this deal and needs to make a move.  Would LOVE him on this team...

Wow -- with this signing, Cleveland is certainly on the way to winning a championship before Miami does --

You really think they're going to pay a backup pg 6 million dollars?
