Whoosh...
Got Sammy on the cheap, great job with that.
Lewis is expensive, but worth it.
Troy Murphy, also expensive (that is why I traded him)

Welcome to the over the cap forever club.  The Warriors are a charter member... lol   :D

Sammy on the cheap? That's 9 mil a year. If anthing that's too much for him, I think. Same thing with Murphy. And the max for Lewis? He is a star, but should not get the max. Some greedy players...

Yeah true, but the problem is who could he get cheaper in free agency who is as good? No-one! Thats why people over-pay in leagues

I know, he had no choice but to sign him for that amount if he wanted to keep him. I'm just saying that that is more than Lewis deserves.

Lewis has B- inside, B+ outside, and an A-defense for a small forward... that is pretty darn good.  Just about what you want from a small forward.
Of course, you are listening to the person who just gave JRich a max contract. lol

And Sammy is on of the best shotblockers in the SSBA...  Starting at 8 mill a years for him is not bad.

My Reasons:

Dalembert - Show me a better C in FA that i could get...  plus, i am more than happy with 15,10,3-4 from my center...

Lewis - Can't really ask for too much more from a SF...

Murphy -  It was either pay for him, or have Danny Fortson or Derrick Coleman as my starting PF...  I had no money left after signing Sammy and Lewis...

Fortson - Decent back-up, short contract...

Evans - lots of room to improve, figured i wouldn't find anyone better in FA as a minimum player...

It is nice to have my front 3 locked up for 5-6 years, especially since they are all so young...  Would still like to improve at either PF or PG positions(unless Murphy really improves)...  Looking to package either Murphy/Hamilton or Billups/Hamilton for an upgrade at either PG or PF...  PM or catch me on AIM...
