  You could tell he was coming back in Feb/Mar, when he got into shape and picked up his game. Nobody that plays that well retires.

But we cant talk contracts until tomorrow. Not that I expect Kg going anywhere else, but until his name is on the dotted line, I don't believe it.

Never mind. I guess we CAN negotiate with KG before tomorrow.

I'm not surprised, never expected him to retire.

Now for his contract, I expect Ainge to offer a similar contract that Pierce has, 1 year with another one partially guaranteed or giving KG a player option.

Next summer Howard and Smith are unrestricted, while James Harden is restricted FA.

VERY VERY happy to hear this. It's what we all expected, but there was always 'that' chance.  :D

3 years, $34 million apparently.  Pretty steep tag but it's worth it in my eyes.

Best news of the offseason!! 3 years, 34 million. Well deserved KG.

Now, for the experts out here, what do we have left in cap space to use on FA's?

I expect Jeff Green to be next.

Yeah, that's a higher number than I expected/was hoping for. I think the main question is how much of that is for the next two years and how much is on the 3rd. I don't want to be paying Garnett over $10 million in that final year.

How is that steep? Was I watching a different guy all season?

Obviously there's potential for quick and steep decline but until that happens, this is a sweetheart deal.

Not bad if it's true.  I was hoping for 3 years, $32 (with this year's salary being for $10 mil), but this is in the ballpark.  I didn't think he'd go for under 8 figures.
