Another good move by Detroit. I'm scared of them.


Draft: 8 first rounders in next 5 years.

Cap space: $24 mil.

Wow. Was Detroit bidding against itself here? Seems about $10 mil too high.

Overpaying much?

He's not a three point shooter and doesn't get to the line.

16 million a year for 5 years is a lot for a guy like Reggie Jackson, even with the cap going up imo. I think this summer a lot of teams are unwisely throwing money around to mediocre players with the thought that the cap going up makes everything ok. Ainge was smart enough to keep Jerebko and Johnson's deals 1 year with a team option for year 2, thus basically giving us two good sized expiring contracts to use this season in trades.

Did you guys expected any less? I mean, take a look around the market, and then get back to me.

Probably was, although perhaps getting a 5th year at the current cap rates was worth spending more upfront.  Cap could be well over $100 million in the last two years of that deal.

So $16 million in $108 million cap is equivalent to $9.35 million in a $63 million cap.

$9.35 million sounds a good figure for Reggie Jackson.

Oh, I'd like that. Dallas would be terrific for Brandon Jennings. Hard to find a better pick and roll duo than Dirk Nowitzki and DeAndre Jordan. Heaven for a PG. Secondary ball-handling with Parsons and hopefully Wes Matthews when he is back healthy.

Great place for Jennings to get his career back on track.

His career was already back on track prior to his Achilles injury.  That said, I'm not sure the Mavs should really pin their season's hopes on two players recovering from Achilles injuries... seems like a good way to get burned.  But really, it's probably moot, as the Mavs literally don't have the salaries to match for Jennings unless they send out Devin Harris.  Their only two expirings are Raymond Felton and Dwight Powell.  Combining those two would let the Mavs take back $8.077 million, about $250k less than Jennings' contract.  Their only other players under contract now (and thus able to be traded in the offseason) are Parsons, Nowitzki, and the aforementioned Harris, who is owed about $4.5 million guaranteed next season.

I did not realize it was an achilles injury. I'd go with Jeremy Lin over B.Jennings then.

That $108 million cap is two full seasons away and when it hits, player salary demands are immediately going up as well. It very well may be that salary demands go up disproportionately because there will be more cap room than available players.  For example, there could be a lot of max offers to non-max restricted free agents that could force teams to use up much of their new cap space.

I'm not saying this is a bad deal for Jackson but I suspect the exploding cap won't fix everything.

Has a BC guy ever gotten so much money?  Good for him.

I guess $15-18 million is the new going rate for solid starters.

"Greg Monroe got hurt, Pistons got some spacing, Reggie Jackson took off and they went 7-4 with wins over MEM, BOS, CHI, MIA, ATL, TOR + ORL."

Reggie Jackson will be much more than a solid starter this season.
