lol joakim will not get 7 million per year. let's put this into perspective, david lee just got 13.3 mil per year. haywood just got 6/54. you can make a convincing argument that noah is more valuable than lee because he doesn't need the ball and is a defensive stalwart, valuable in a center.
if i'm noah, i would ask for 11 MINIMUM and ask up to 14 even. in the open market, he could get a near max contract. if he was a free agent this summer, he woulda gotten at least 13-14 looking at the contracts given out. i think that he'll take a discount to stay in chicago, but don't expect too much.
7 million a year is laughable. what, is he desagana diop worthy???
