Deandre Jordan wants 5/$100m

[Dro]

So the way to look at this is, since it's a 5 year deal worth $100m, his salary will start low in the beginning year and go up.

Next season the projected salary cap is $66.5m, 2016-17 is projected to be as high as $90m, and 2017-18 as high as $108m.

5 years at $100m is actually a decent price to get DJ at if you look at it that way.

Look at it this way: the salary cap this season is $63m

DJ will most likely get right around $20m during the third year of his contract, which would be 2017-18.

20/108 = 18.5% of the salary cap

18.5% of this year's salary cap ($63m) is approx $11.7m which looks really good compared to some of the contracts teams have been handing out lately.

Well, when you put it like this....I guess so...

Great big man in an era of weak big men, love his rebounding, but kinda overrated IMO. Without the alley oops not super impressed with his overall offense

What makes him think he deserves 100 million?
