The early number I’ve heard is that Nene will want something in the range of $90M...When I’ve asked people who know Nene well where he might want to land if he leaves the Nuggets, several said that he’d want to be on the West Coast."

I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate one’s self is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one’s own powers.

I like Nene and everything, but 90 million is definitely too much!

I was thinking more like a 4 year 50-55 million deal, but then again this report is coming from Kawakami

Still voting for Gasol

but i’ll be happy with any SMART spending of money

with the new CBA

There could only be 2-3 teams that could even come close to signing that kind of deal. And that $90 mil better be over 12 years or something, because there is no way I would give him that money.

I have feeling the NBA is 2-3 years away from realizing the contracts on big men are severely over-bloated and finally make the adjustment. Nene will probably get a huge contract, doesn’t change the fact he is nowhere near a franchise level player.
