If I was New Orleans, I would be trying my a** off to get Maggette. N.O. needs a player who can create his own shot.

He's not worth it! Give Ronny waht you gave Cook...3yrs, 10mil. Offer Magette the full MLE. If Boston gets him, you might as well add another 2 rings atleast. Let Sasha walk! He’s not worth it!

Thus, their offer is quite flexible there. On the other hand, I don't think they have bird-rights to Turiaf. Additionally, both of them are restricted agents. In other words, if Mitch wants to keep them (he did say he intends to), then we can keep them regardless of Luxury tax issues. Lakers may just be trying to get them re-signed for as low and fair as possible (or in Turiaf's case, if some other team offers him slightly more, then management can use it as an opportunity to give Turiaf a more reasonable offer because their initial offer has to be around the minimum to satisfy cap rules). -- Jack from Jamie Insider http://www.jamieinsider.com Correct me if I’m wrong, Lakers do have bird-rights to Sasha.

If the best that he's gotten as an offer from another team is $5 million, I wouldn't give him an extra million a year just to be nice. I would also try to shorten the length to 3-4 years max if at all possible, even if they have to give him $6 mil a year rather than $5 mil a year for 6 years. If he sucks, then they're stuck with him like they are with Vlade and Luke. If they only offer him three years, then if he sucks this year, they only have to pay him a couple of more years.
