What Happens To Sonny Weems?

[DunkinDerozan]

Why are they Weems' minutes? What has he done to have a lock on those minutes?

misread your question... i never implied anything by that comment... just saying before Johnson was traded and before Weems injury those were his minutess..

What about Kleiza's minutes! Poor guy, he's off at Hogwarts competing in that flying broom basketball tourney right now

If that is that broom riding Ruski, then yah, that's him for sure. DIdnt that guy get tossed off in hogwarts by some dragon?

So you're predicting Colangelo just gives him $4M/yr for the hell of it. I don't see him getting more that a couple million at the max. This is why I was scratching my head. I guess time will tell but I don't see Colangelo handing him a pay day after he's been ineffective, inefficient and unable to beat out other guys for minutes.

In complete agreement with you there but I could see him getting a 3 year 5-6 million dollar package. He's making a shade under $1 million currently and although he hasn't helped himself recently he could definitely be a servicable back-up at the 2.

Last year and at the start of this year Sonny was balling. Not sure what happened since but I would retain him for cheap.

I believe the correct answer is: the locker-room door smacks his ass on his way out of town!

Forgetting that the NBA financial landscape could drastically change this offseason, I still don't think Weems would be signed by any team for anything close to even the mid-level exception (MLE), which is currently roughly $5M per season. I think Weems would be lucky to get anything higher than $2-3M per season on the open free agency market. Aside from letting him leave as a free agent, the only thing I'd prefer to see the Raps do with Weems is sign&trade him to whatever team wants to sign him, for something like cash, a 2nd round pick or a future draft pick.

Poor Weems, he just wants to find true love.

His stock is pretty low, I can see signing him back but to the minimum.

You guys ever consider that seeing as how Weems starting playing bad after his injury, there may be a mental component to it? especially if he's also "looking for love", I would assume that to a certain extent, Weems might be depressed.

Also, don't think he doesn't know that there's enough people thinking he should not be re-signed at the end of the season...all of this would really depress a guy, I think.

[blackjitsu]

To me this is simply a case of duplication of skills. Weems is a less skilled version of Demar. Even if he played out of his mind I would move him or not resign him.

[LamarVannoy]

I'd just put the qualifying offer out there for 1 mil next year or whatever, and if anyone want's to get crazy and offer him a bunch of money then let him go.

[Apollo]

I think teams a more likely to be tight if there's a hard cap. Guys like Weems are more likely to get burned from NBAPA conquests over the owners of the past.

[Balls of Steel]

He stays, 4 years 16 million and plays SG.

"Would he play better in a different system?"

Ya, he'd be great in the Suns or GSW system that's more run and gun.

What?!???!!!!! I wouldn't even drop a mil on his ass. You're essentially giving the guy a 400% raise for what? Playing Call of Duty in his lonesome? Try E-Harmony Sonny. I heard it works for marginal D-Leaguers. Four million. Wow.
