Dalembert

[Vince]

WOW...

RealGM - A rumor floating around the internet supposedly of NY Post origins state that the buzz in Summer League: Las Vegas among GMs was that one of the top free-agent centers, Samuel Dalembert, verbally agreed on a $70M to $75M deal to stick with Philly.

According to the new CBA, if this is true, Dalembert (who's been a backup for a big part of his career), but is still one of those "potential" players, could be averaging about $12 Million in Yearly Salary at 10.5% Increases. [READ]

Not sure how much credibility this rumor has, but if it's true, that is way too much money for a guy who hasn't yet proven himself to be worth that. But that's the nature of the NBA nowadays, I guess.

Re: Dalembert

Wow, they should pay me 5 mil a year to come off the bench. Every player will be making at least 10 mil in a couple of years. :y4:

Re: Dalembert

Dalembert is still rough around the edges, but if true, it's nice to see the Sixers holding onto their youth.

After AI and Webber are gone, the Sixers could potentially have Korver, Igoudala, and Dalembert as a base to build on, and that ain't too shabby.

I'd rather see them overpay for youth than old guys that only have a year or two left of marginally good play left in them.

If Jerome James gets 6 million...Dalembert deserves 10 million.

If Philly won't give him that much, someone will.

You're probably right, however, it's still WAY too much.

Re: Dalembert

Yea, and that was probably a figure they could've thrown at Tyson, maybe cheaper.
