Happy about this. Good scorer and potential trade chip. Am I bad for saying that?

I don't know the dollars, but I like that it's only three years.

Good, with KG signed for 3 years matching the length for Bass makes sense.

Well that's one less domino to worry about. I just hope his deal didn't involve Ray heading to Miami.

Intriguing.  

I wonder for how much?  

I like Bass, but I'd be a little worried about his value over the course of the contract in relation to Green and Sullinger, who both will be vying for his minutes and both who don't fit well next to him (unlike a flex 4/5 center who could play next to Bass).  

Still, if he can stay in the rotation, even if he gets beat out, he should be a valuable asset down the road.  And three years keeps him in line with KG.  Good job avoiding year 4.

Hope it's a good number but I loved the Bassmaster so I'm happy.

  • Everyone's excited for the new era.
I thought KG wanted to go back tot he 4?  I don't think Bass will be coming off our bench.  Danny's not done, that's for sure.

Nope, I think we're all thinking the same thing as you.

Okay, that's three down and three more to go (Allen, Green, Steamer/Wilcox).

I am with everyone else, waiting for the number, but if it is in the MLE range, then this is a great signing.  If its starters money...not so much.

Love bass. But I need to see more blocking out and smart D. He has a nice elbow J. He needs a monkey wrench for that D though.
