What kind of contract will DJ get?

[Sħãlïq™]

I'm assuming the league cuts contracts to 5 years for your own player and 4 years for other players. I think he will get in the range of 45-55 million. If I'm the Clippers, I say hey DJ we will give you most of your contract the first 2 seasons, that way we have money to max out your buddy Blake in a couple years and start a dynasty. I would give him a offer like this:

Year

1- 16 million

2- 16

3- 5

4- 5

5- 5

 

Let's say the Clips trade Kaman,Aminu,Bledsoe,2012 Minny pick for CP3:

That's a 47 million dollar deal with 32 of it coming the first two years. Why wouldnt DJ jump at that? With a salary cap at let's say, 58 million, teams would only be able to afford to pay 3 max players (CP3?, EJ, Blake), 1 mid level player (DJ) and the rest would have to be players on minimum salaries.

Potential 2013-2014 roster:

1. CP3 16,000,000

2. EJ 15,000,000

3. Blake 14,000,000

4. DJ 5,000,000

5. Thompkins 750,000

6. Leslie 750,000

7. Cook 1,000,000

8. Diogu 1,000,000

9. 2012 2nd 750,000

10.2013 1st 1,500,000

11.2013 2nd 750,000

12.Ariza 1,000,000

 

See, Clips need to look to the future when giving DJ that deal.

13.Foye 1,000,000

Pretty sure players, especially young ones, don't want their contracts front loaded, and it is also against the rules to front load a contract like that, this isn't the joke of a league the MLB.

 

It all depends on the new CBA and what other teams are offering. I think 4 years 30M is something I wouldn't be opposed to my team offering (even though we don't really need him).
