It is a 3-year contract for $3,135,000 total, so works out to just over $1 million per year.

Which is it 1.1 mil per year or 3.3 per year?

would it be crazy to think that we can possibly trade for derrick williams? i’m not familiar with their financial situation, but i do think we can trade tayshaun or maggette’s expiring deal (or even together) for him (+ some other stuff to make the trade work obvs)

If he doesn’t get it in 4 months he might be living on a park bench

He’s a 24 year old who scored 10 ppg in Spain. And we’re talking Bird Rights? There’s something called an MLE. I’m 99.999999% sure Singler will not play himself above a max MLE deal.

And we’re stacked at SF. Seems like we are reaching pretty bad with this contract. But still, its not a ton of money, I just the the justification in this blog is a major reach.. and so was the deal.

MLE??? We spent too much spare me. We’re not going to need Bird Rights to resign this guy.

Almost impossible. It allows us to use Bird Rights and also have the MLE, but if Singlers good, do we really need another UFA that year?

The MLE would have sufficed. No chance Singler is going to get over a 5 year 40 million contract, which is about the MLE. That is big money. He’s not a great athlete or a good defender. This guy would have to have Larry bird offensive game for us to spend over the MLE on him and get value.

If anything I think this deal might suggest Joe Dumars isn’t done making moves this summer. I don’t think he would sign Singler to a 3 yr guaranteed contract to play very limited min behind Tayshaun, Maggette, and Daye.

I hope you meant 3yrs for 3million…Hopefully Singler isn’t getting 3mil a year, the guy is a rotation player at best…

Singler made more in Spain last year than he would have in his rookie season in the NBA. Now he gets three fully guaranteed years. The most important contract in a player’s career is his first multi-million dollar guaranteed deal. At that point, you are set for life.

Also, what if the Stones buried him on the bench like Macklin? Would he be getting big money as a UFA then?
