Merged: The *cross your fingers for a Crash resigning* thread

[ALong13]

J-Rich is said to be moving to SG from what I've heard and Wallace would take SF. Wallace will resign, no other team can give more than the MLE which is somewhere around 6 million. Charlotte could sign him to a 6 year 54-56 million dollar contract, and it should be a done deal, I don't see Charlotte doing a S&T with anyone unless it's for a person of equal of greater talent of Wallace...

6@54-56?!? That would be a magnificent signing for us, but it would be a slap in the face for GW, I think. If Lewis is going to average $15M per, we should at least give him $12M per. That said, if he's cool with $9M per, all the better for the franchise's long-term cap room! Maybe they'll wait until the 11th, and announce a deal when it can be finalized.

-- MORE FREE AGENT NEWS: Harris confirmed what The Journal Times reported on the first day of free agency: that he has inquired about both Desmond Mason and Gerald Wallace.

Harris wouldn’t go into details, only to say that he had conversations with the agents for both players. The scuttlebutt is Wallace is seeking a contract that averages around $8 million a season.

if thats the case, we are gonna end up straight stealing Gerald..

if teams are worried about an 8 million per contract, i think we can steal him for 9 million and go on about the business.

[ziggy]

9 million for a player like Crash is a steal. He should fire his agent if thats all that he winds up with... after he signs for 6 years with the Bobcats of course

[spectre]

Charlotte acquired Jason Richardson (and $51 million in salary commitments) last week. This week, the Bobcats and Matt Carroll agreed in principle on a $27 million deal. And those around the Bobcats expect to re-sign Gerald Wallace very soon to a contract worth more than $60 million.

From the Gaston Gazette.

That's just BS out of Milwaukee. They're trying to rationalize on how they could steal Crash from us.

[ALong13]

Actually 9 million a year isn't too suirprising, no other team can offer more than the MLE which is between 5.8 -6 million, so I wouldn't be too surprised to see a 9 million per year deal coming around...

[ALong13]

I hope it's before the 12th at least, because from the 12th-16th I'm without computer axcess, so I won't be able to see crap...

[timang]

we better not get any more rumors...

i'm getting awfully uncomfortable the longer he stays on the market!

Likewise tadsz,

The more this gets drawn out the more I start to get paranoid that something fishy is going on. Just sign him already.
