Bogut Contract Influences Biedrins'?????

Andrew Bogut was rewarded with a ridiculous contract. What is its impact?

I'm debating how close Biedrins' contract will match Boguts'.

On one hand, Bogut plays a bigger part in the Bucks' plans and offense, and produces better stats. On the other hand, Biedrins is younger, with possibly more potential...

Obviously we're not gonna offer him $80 mil, but 50-60 now looks mandatory....

5 yrs. 72 mil is alot of money for Bogut. He was a turnover machine against the dubs last season

It's not 5/72

Bogut is getting 5 / $60m, with $12m in incentives. Don’t know how hard they are to reach, but the true nature of the deal is the 5/60, which is somewhat close to what I expected for AB

5/50

Anything higher strangles the Warriors finances. I was hoping for something along the lines of 5/43, but 5/50, along with the contracts to buike and ellis will leave the warriors some flexibility.

I dont think Buike will be back

just trying to ease the loss and get you ready. He’s such a favorite people on here may actually be more upset than they were when Baron left.

Yeah, I’m a big buike fan, but I’m prepared for any sort of roster upheaval. After all, isnt Beans the longest tenured Warrior now that Pietrus is gone?

Tall players (especially centers) get paid the big bucks even if they suck

I mean Greg Ostertag played like 10 years for godsake. And Shawn Bradley?

Bogut is probably a top 10 center. 12mil a year with “incentives” is pretty good. And I would think Biedrins would ask for about 8 mil a year.

A Time For Heroes,
It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood
And it's all
It's all in my hands
And its all up the walls
Well the stale chips were up and the hopes stakes were down
Until Kp came into Town!
'Sing it Petey!
