Maxwell was extremely important to their championship run and should be good until that contracts ends. I thought Ratliff's deal was worse than that, but he does have youth on his side. 26 year old big man, with A defense, he is nice.

Maxwell's contract = haha. Eh? What the problem is? He's a top ten scorer, top ten defender, and in a team running an outside offense having just won the Championship... I don't see what's wrong with a three year 10mil offer at all. Anyway, I was very pleased Mac signed back with us on that contract, and also happy to bring back Person, Grant and Johnson. With last year's ring winners back we should be able to make another good run this year.

I knew some idiot would overpay for Ratliff. He was a great complimentary player but for a rebuilding team to use 25% of their cap space on him is stupid. He is never going to be a scorer, he isn't a solid rebounder, and players of his caliber have been signing for the MLE for the past 3 years.
He isn't exactly young enough where you could expect a boom in TC. He's been relatively the same ratings and same numbers for the past few seasons.
Sucks that I lost him but he isn't worth that kind of money.

Getting a young shot blocking center is max worthy i believe. good signing for the knicks, especially with this weak FA class

I don't think Sheed OR Ratliff are max-worthy.

I don't think Sheed OR Ratliff are max-worthy. its by FAR the less of 2 evils. Slightly overpay quality players, or lose them for nothing (i.e. Penny Hardaway)

Sheed was max worthy, no doubt about it, as he can play 3 positions, and is a 16-9 player, who I would guess still has potential and is only 24, however, I doubt that Theo is max worthy, for 6 years, as his ceiling could end up being a replaceable player for every year...I could see doing a three year max, or even potentially four, to make sure you got him with birds, but I think 6 years is an awful lot considering he is an 8.4 and 9.9 player, and his blocks are nice, but 2.4 isn't all that amazing...Yes there is upside, but at 6 year max, it better be huge.....

Get over it, in FA if you want to land a FA you have to overpay sometimes. Yeah he might be overpaid a bit, who really gives a shit? I still will have a shit load of money for the next off season that will put me in a great position. I stole a quality big man from you and thats that. What is their not to get? I will still suck with him on my roster which will allow me to still rebuild through the draft and have enough money for next season. Yeah it sucks for you, stop crying about it.

Theo did not get a max, a constant 9 million a year is not bad.

I didn't pay attention to it not increasing...I offered him Max for three years...thinking I could resign him for cheaper when time ran out....9,000,000 flat isn't bad...I didn't pay attention to how much it was ofr I just assumed it was max, cause other people talked about it like it was,.....(the last years woulda been terrible had it been max...)
