    He will get much more then the vets Min...

    He has been playing for low contracts for a while now...

    He is going to get atleast 3mil a year and if BC gave Amir 6-7 mil Matt Barnes should expect a nice raise....

    Guy can play and he is tough..Just what this team needs...

    Jose will not be starting...Jack will be...That is a given!!

      Never been a huge fan of Barnes, but I admit he's a tough SOB bordering on an asshole. Could be one of those guys we love to have on our team but hate to watch as a rival. Played last 4 years in high-octane offences (2 in Golden State, 1 in Phoenix, 1 in Orlando), so he should fit in without too much trouble if he does sign.

        It is curious how we can even afford him though, Orlando can't even do a S&T because they lost his Bird rights sometime during the offseason. (I think.) It would almost have to be for the minimum...

          Do the Magic have his Bird rights? I can't remember... Maybe this is an opportunity to trade Jose? Even the small TPE they got might be enough.

          EDIT: Just read the above post. If the Magic had his rights he would cause a cap hold on their team until they relinquished it. This would not stop them from re-signing their other free agents or using their MLE or BAE. They could still have his Bird rights if they have it to begin with.

              I just hope that BC won't overpay to get this guy too.....

              I bet most teams are offering close to 3-4 million per for 3-4 years but watch the Raptors go for the big 5.

                    EDIT: Sorry, apparently I missed something very important. "A sign-and-trade deal can be made even with players who have been renounced..."

                    I guess a S&T could happen.

                      Does someone who can score 19 points in 6 minutes in the Euro-League work for you?

                      Psh. There's a former Raptors first round pick (you should know who) that scored 13 pts in 45 seconds.

                        are you pulling names out of a hat? why trade assets for a free agent? a 3rd 4th or 5th SF (Pietrus) (how many SF do the Raps have now?). Gortat I don't know enough about.

                          im going to be so happy if we mangage to get this guy (for the right price)
                          Ive always loved his game he'll end up with a little bit less than Amir.
                          Im thinking 3 years 18-20 million

                            I agree. I don't want to see Sonny go anywhere.

                              so a 30 year old after a few minimum contracts is now worth $6.5 mil per? I like the guy but hes not worth it. Why does Amir enter this conversation, different age, differnet position, different skills (hussle is not a skill)
