Jordan Hill agrees to 2-year, $18 million deal to return to the L. A. Lakers

[Mr October]

Dont forget Nash!!!

What an overpay for Hill. But that's what LA has to do in order to secure 2 year fillers to play with Kobe.

Earl Clark: 2 years, $9M
Jodie Meeks: 3 years, $19M
Chris Kaman: 2 years, $10M
Jordan Hill: 2 years, $9M
Mike D'Antoni: priceless

Wow, I mean, Kobe has to be mad.

20-25 win team.

More likely to be less (15-19 wins) than more (26+ wins) I reckon.

9 million a year for Jordan Hill? Good Grief.

Wow!!! I thought maybe 5 million...what will Sully get in the future? 12?

Teams are sooo going to regret the amount of money they are paying these average to below average players right now. 

I'm happy with draft picks right now as they are controlled and come with reasonable price tags..

I think Sully is already worth about $8-9 million (as rated - middle of the pack quality starting PF). Add another $1-2 million for potential given that he is still so young and has good room for improvement on both ends of the court. That brings it up to $9-11 million per annum.

With salaries rising, I think there is a pretty good chance Sully with get 12 or more if he waits two more years for his new contract.

If we didn't get Zeller then my first priority at center would have been Jordan Hill using MLE. Although 9M a year is a bit too much IMO, but it's the Lakers...

He's going to have to stay healthy and get in shape to earn close to those numbers. You don't see fat players making a lot of $ in the NBA.
