I’m afraid of what this means for our other free agents (Gomes and Telfair) that I personally feel are higher priorities.

With Craig, the roster has 12 guaranteed contracts. Gomes, Telfair and Richard are all still out there (as are Doleac and Snyder, but whatever), so re-signing all of them brings us to the 15 mark. I know some people are not high on re-signing either, but I’d like both of them back. If those two were re-signed and that’s the end of our offseason, I’d be pretty damn happy with it, depending on the contracts given out.

Two years is a great length for Craig though… I’m just curious on the amount.

I’m feeling they’ve all but given up on resigning Gomes. He’s gonna get more money elsewhere and frankly we don’t NEED him. Especially since we got Carney we’re gonna see how that turns out.
If nobody offers Gomes a higher offer though I think we’ll keep him and just see how it works out, but that’s probably not gonna happen.

We still need a PG .. I read somewhere Pargo is looking for a 3 year deal, that’s one too many…

...they know Gomes will get the MLE. I guess he may not be showing up at the b-ball clinic in Mankato next week.

Isn’t that the rumor now that Posey signed with Charlotte? I’d like that deal if I was Gomes, but if I’m Cleveland, do I really sign up a good role player long-term if LBJ isn’t goign to be around?

I guess I’m a bit more optimistic - I think we would have heard more buzz around it if there was really a lot of interest in Gomes for big money and/or lots of years. Same thing for Telfair - I think he’s got as much value to us as anyone else, so I’m guessing his agent is trying to get a good offer from sone other team and then the Wolves will have to decide to match or not. I bet they will. As for Richard, it seems to me that he could get signed and sent to the developmental league and he’s a pretty low-cost option. And of course they may buy out Booth too.

Re: Posey, I think that makes the Hornets even tougher, but i still think they need a 2-guard who can start. I don’t think you’re getting out of the Western Conference with MoPete/Peja as your starting 2-3, even if Posey going to get the crunchtime minutes for one of those guys.

Need to get out of the 1990s, apparently.

Here’s some of what he had to say after agreeing to a new reasonably priced two-year contract (still trying to nail down the number, I’d guess $3.5-4 millionish total) after discussions with other teams didn’t yield an offer sheet…
