How Much Is Lamarcus Aldridge Worth?

[JordanL]

LMA and the Blazers have been negotiating all summer, and I'm sure they'll come to some agreement, but how much do you think he's actually worth?

Everyone knew Roy was worth a max contract, and everyone knew he would get it. But Aldridge is a little tougher to figure out.

Especially with absolutely moronic signings like Charlie V or Bustnani.

Because of the Raptors, LMA can't be reasonably paid less than ~10.5 million. But how much exactly is he worth?

[Connoisseur]

5 mil tops.

[west]

Around 6.5 million per.

I guess I should have expected the sex-starved teens on ISH to be snarky.

[Al Thornton]

Around 14 mil I'd say.

[OneMoreSucka]

5 years, 48 mil.

[JordanL]

Around 14 mil I'd say.

That's a 5 year, $70 million contract. I think I'd be aiming more for a 5 year $65 million-ish contract.

[JordanL]

5 years, 48 mil.

That's less than Bargnani's extension.

Considering the amount of teams with capspace next summer I could see him getting a 5/70 deal, which would instantly make him one of the 15 most overpaid players in the league.

Anyone who says less than 10mill per year is wrong...

I think he will get about 5/55-5/65

[OneMoreSucka]

That's less than Bargnani's extension.

So

Different players get different contracts, and different teams give out different contracts. Just because you can say "he's better than him and he's making x amount" doesn't mean that that player should get more than said amount.

If the 5/70 deal was highly incentivized I could see it being good. Basically signing him to a "potential" sheet which actually pays him for reaching that potential.

[gyu]

10-12 mill a year.

[Connoisseur]

Lol...

What is with overpaid players these days?

[qrich]

5/45.
