Biedrins signs - 6 yrs/$63 million

Mullin is a dope.

The contracts for Ellis/Biedrins don't appear to be that bad.

I'm not sure that Maggette was the right move, Nelson will probably play him at 4.

Turiaf and Biedrins are very similar players - unskilled hustle guys.  You've also got Brendan Wright, who hasn't shown to be anything different (yet).  How many dollars and roster spots can you allocate to such similar players?

Perhaps the team name should be changed to the Golden State Twizzlers.

Why does this signing suggest that Iggy will do better than 5/57?

Both Ellis and Biedrins signed SIX year deals.  Both deals average over $1 million less per year than the offer Iguodala got last year.

So...Iguodala's deal from last year is 1) shorter, and 2) for more money per year than Iguodala's deal.

In comparison to those deals, 5/57 looks pretty damn good to me.

Just looking at the salary schedule this year versus last year, because it seems to me to go up every year...so although Biedrins and Iggy are two different players I would think that Iggy is worth more than just 1 million more than Biedrins whither it be for 5/6 years. Thats all I was thinking...I could be wrong...
