According to a Twitter post by Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski, Trevor Ariza will become a very rich man at the hands of the team that loses out on Hedo Turkoglu.

League executives believe Portland or Toronto, whichever team does not sign Turkoglu, will offer Ariza between $32 million and $40 million deal.

Oh lawd, I hope he just isn't a Zen Master system player and lives up to this.

WOW!

League sources indicated early Thursday that the Raptors are contemplating an offer to restricted free agent David Lee.

Any offer to Lee, by definition, would be in the $8-$10 million range and would test the Knicks in terms of their willingness to match a hefty offer.

Toronto is still considering whether or not to attempt to beat Portland's offer for Hedo Turkoglu.

He got offered like 5-6mill Euro's, but he'd need to be bought out to go over there again.

Hell yea, I was pissed Dumars was even rumored about signing him. Hedo is 30 years old and will start a decline the second year of his contract, even though his game is mainly shooting but still with a huge contract he could get a huge ass ego..

 

[The Young One]

In a way yea thats a lot of money to be offering a 30 year old.
