So it would seem the contracts are still rooted...and now the players thoughts reflect these new contracts also...so I seemingly have to resign Green, Augustin and Thornton all on top of Cousins at season end...instead of having Green locked up for another 5 years, Augustin 4 and Thornton 4...how ****ed is that...
As it stands, my depth chart is:
PG - Augustin (79)/ Bayless (74)/ Maynor (70)
SG - Thornton (81)/ Nick Young (76)/ Fordham (72)
SF - Gay (90)/ Thad. Young (79)/ Dudley (75)
PF - Green (82)/ Yi Jianlian (73)/ Arthur (72)
C - Cousins (82)/ Lopez (73)/ Hawes (67)
Didn't sign any of my rookies. They weren't worthy. Signed Bayless to 4 years 17.48mil, player option 5th year. Starting salary 3.8mil
Signed Hawes to 4 years 9.02mil, player option 5th year. Starting salary 1.96mil
During FA I waived Seraphin (I wanted to keep him...but too much talent available) and Vasquez, so I had 2 roster spots and I signed Thaddeus Young for 1 year vet min 487k. Likewise Yi, 1 year vet min 487k. Oldest player on my roster is Nick Young at 28, Gay is 27 and Thornton/Green 26.
Going to have to try make some trades to trim salary for next summer...particularly if I have to resign Green, DJ and Thornton also...stupid 2k...

It also makes training camps really hard to decide this whole contract thing...cause why use a training camp on a player that you're only going to lose!
