I'm assuming we're going to have to offer him 3yrs/27-30Mil contract, unless he was willing to take a hometown discount to allow us to make subsequent moves. But i would say that's very unlikely.

If the deal is 3yrs/30Mil how backloaded can that be? Is it possible to do something like:

8.5
10
11.5

How low could the 1st year be, in order to preserve as much capspace as possible? Maybe this is a question for DanH?

I would rather front load his contract given his age. Something like:

13M
10M
8M

But that kills any chance of doing anything else this summer.

Unless Jose is amnestied or the Raptors negotiate a sign-and-trade for Nash. Calderon only has one year left on his contract, and he might interest Phoenix as a backup / "mentor" for Marshall.

3 year 20 million. i still wouldn't be happy with it, but it would be a good contract for both parties.

Ball Don't Lie

BC is going to give him 3 year 37 million.

Did anyone ever though of having both Nash and Caldy?

jeffb

wouldn't doubt it.


And unless we can somehow get a solid SF we're fucked next season. BC better damn well perform magic in the next 10 days!!

jeffb

Better not! If Calderon stays, how the fuck do we get a SF?

LOG

Amnesty/trade Amir?

jeffb

a 5.5-6Mil contract? Whatever! Calderon will have to go if Nash is brought in if we have any chance at a decent SF.

Raptors1995

3 years 30 million

Raptors1995

Or more but for 3 years

truth is, it makes no difference
once we get nash and that missing SF, we'll be out of cap space forever. A lot more critical is what kind of player we get to pair nash with.

for the record, he'll get 3/30, maybe 3/33 with the last year half-guaranteed or something like that. I'm sure Nash won't kill us for every penny, we're Canada's team after all.

I have no idea who were gonna sign in FA now

Superjudge

I'm not convinced they are trying to get nash. Had they drafted a PG I knew they were...but this.... I dunno.

Shifty.py

I don't want Nash here at all

Superjudge

getting used to losing huh?

Shifty.py

Listening to you our team is so hopeless we will be losing for a long time.
Nash is no magician, his team was losing as well

Superjudge

not so fast, basketball isn't hockey. If Val pans out, you get Nash, cut amir or Jose and grab a guy like Iggy.

well

now you got a team
