    clearly still hoping for a Howard trade.
    if Howard was already in Houston, Humphries gets 6 mil a year.

    Carl Landry just might have to settle for the MLE ($5M), yet Kris Humphries somehow gets paid $12M a year. Sounds about right. :eek:

    Carl isn't the all-around player Humphries is. Carl coundn't grab 11 rebounds 1 out of 5 games let alot average 11 a season like Humphries.

    In all seriousness, its not that ridiculous of a contract. He's basically Kevin Martin at PF (not literally, he's not that efficient).

    10 and 10 the previous season and 13 and 11 this past season. Plus a block a game.

    Asik at 8m doesn't seem quite as crazy as before now does it?

    He might playing next to Brook Lopez. ;)

    On a more serious note, I won't argue that Humprhies has the edge on the boards. He even might be a slightly better defender.
    Landry, however is the far superior offensive player. Just far more skilled & efficient.

    They're different players, but I don't think there's much of a gap between the guys. You could make the argument for either guy (being better). Humpries is probably the better fit for the Nets and I understand the Nets didn't have much of a choice given they're way over the cap, but that fact remains that Humphries by no means is worth $7M more than Carl Landry. Not even close.

    He's a nice player but not 12M per year nice.

    I guess the new CBA didn't really fix the system like they said it would.

    His value is escalated next to the weak rebounding center there, so it kind of makes sense, once you commit so much $ to the C.

    And it makes a sweet expiring year after next.

    So, is year 2 a player option, a team option, or partially guaranteed? I'm betting it only has $2m guaranteed on Year 2 so the Nets could trade him to a team that wants to do a salary dump if they need to.

    Yep. We just offered Omar Asik like $25M for 3pts/5 rebs per game.
