Orlando is really making the push

 

[UoweDucks]

That is a lot of money for a guy with no heart...

 

[gtc08]

i dont know about the heart thing but i agree its too much. that money should go to the duncan's, kobe's etc. orlando still has to pay off the hill contract to. this contract is going to kill them down the road.

 

[WVU]

it is a large contract, but so will all the other free agent signings. Salaries are out of control in all the major sports.

There isn't anything wrong with that. The owners are making a hell of a lot more, so why not demand a nice sum of cash since the fans are coming to see you play.

the way to put it is, its too much money for a guy that can only shoot...

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Orlando has some young talent, if things go their way, you might see them in the finals in the near future. As for Rashard getting a huge contract, good for him.

 

[lapdance]

there are alot of players in this league that can't shoot. thats one of the main reasons kapono got 6m ayear.

So is he really 53 Million Dollars better than Gerald Wallace?

Orlando is whacked!!!!!!!!!!! Six years, 110 million for Rashard Lewis????


He's a small forward that scores 22 a game and does nothing else.

I'm a Seattle fan... and I'm quite pissed he left (yeah, i'm late... i dont hang around here much).

You sure did hang around here a lot during CBB season. I'm a Seattle fan too btw, and Orlando made a really stupid decision giving Rashard that much money.

 

[Legend-I-Aint]

He's gonna Shard in his pants and end up not being worth half the money they are handing him. Guy walks around with a "I'm half asleep" look on his face. What a waste of money!

What a fucked up world we live in.

It's more like he's never, and I mean NEVER hit a big shot in his life. He always pussies out come playoff time, has in the past and will do so in the future. Fuck him.

 

[Anti-liberal]

I can't believe they're paying him that kind of money. Since ABC cancelled "Anything but Love", Lewis' career has been marginal at best, although he has been quite hilarious on his appearances in "Curb your Enthusiasm".
