Knicks.

It depends how the deal is structured... 4 years at 7.25 is probably fair market, but if the last year is only partially guaranteed, or non-guaranteed and/or the contact is front loaded then it's a pretty good-great deal. Anyone know the dets' on this one?

They certainly aren't MASSIVELY over paying him.

I read that it was a fully guaranteed deal.

Mavs did this to piss Houston off.

I'm really happy for him. He deserves it! (Although I don't think any man on earth ''deserves'' to get paid more than 8M/Yr)

As for the championship thing, he's still young, who knows what can happen between now and 2017? And also after

[Blacklash2k4]

Just sad to see him not being on a championship team. Dude is easily one of the classiest athlete in the NBA. He deserves a chance at the ring even though it doesn't work that way in the NBA.

Wish nothing but the best for Jose, wherever he may be. Good for him.

Good on Jose! That"s about his value right now.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Jose on his brand new 4 year/$29 million contract with the Mavs, some still miss you around these parts. BTW what do you guys think of this contract? Do you think it's a reflection of his value around the league or Mark Cuban being the billionaire that he is?
