The nerve of Posey! What does he bring to the table - compared to Beno!

Beno's deal:
2008-09: $5,585,000
2009-10: $6,031,800
2010-11: $6,514,344
2011-12: $7,035,491.5
2012-13: $7,598,330.8

In my best John Malkovitch/KGB accent: "Pay the man chis money."  We are paying Scal 15 mill over 5 years and he gives us absolutely nothing.  Posey is a critical part of our rotation and I don't believe we win a ring without him this past season.  Just step it up and give him a 4 year deal at the full mid level.  Just do it!!!

Gosh, Posey will definitely get the full MLE for 4 years at the very least, and I'm not quite sure whether we will be the team writing his checks. I mean, it just doesn't make sense for us.

your numbers are slightly wrong it's a 8% raise of the first year contract for every year, not 8% of the previous year. Makes it a little cheaper, but i still wouldn't agree to give the 5th year. He can have the full mle for 4 years max.

Then again it ain't my money and my job isn't on the line if he gets overpayed.

It seems pretty obvious that the market is falling in a way that Posey might get 4 years at the MLE.  You have to consider it.

Championship experience?  The ability to play and defend 3+ positions? 5 inches? Unbuntu(sp) with his teammates?

I can see both Cleveland or New Orleans overpaying for Posey, and giving him the full 5-yr MLE.

Speaking of the Hornets, isn't Bonzi Wells a UFA this summer?

Yeah Bonzi is unrestricted, and Beno is not even worth the money he is being paid.

Your point is?

Just because the Cs are overpaying one vet doesn't mean the Cs should overpay another.

I thought that Scalabrine's last year was a team option.

Sad to think that the thread is titled what it is when in reality it should be Beno Udrih looking for James Posey money.

A strange ironic reality in sports and business today, that the guy that gets the job done is often the one making less money

So the guy who gets an immediate, 5 year full MLE was cut from the Spurs during the 2008 season, on the scrap heap, available to whichever sad sack team needed a PG, and the guy who still doesn't have a commitment from a club is a key member of the World Champions (twice in three years)?

Beno will be their starting point guard and just turned 27.  Posey is a very versitile bench player who will be 32 in January.  I am not saying it is fair or even justified but that I suspect is the main difference.

If Posey has already been offered the MLE for 4 or 5 years, why hasn't he just taken it?  It is not like he is going to be offered more than that by anyone.  I am still skeptical that he already has been or even will be offered that much for that long but who knows.  I think 3 years at $4m is a nice fair offer (the rumored Celtics offer according to CSN last night).

the starter of this thread must not know much about beno udrih and the kings situation .. some of the comments being made about beno here just arent fair.. saying he doesnt bring anything to the table, overpaid ect ..

look at what other starting point guards are making, then look at what beno got and actually watch the guy play, he basically played bibby out of town who makes around twice as much as beno .. beno is better than rondo at this point in there careers.. sure rondo makes less but hes younger.

if you can give the MLE to a solid starting point guard whos only 27 , its a steal. he will be even better this year because he'll actually be in training camp and pre season with the team hes going to play for.
