Ok, based on numbers at HoopsHype, here's how we look in 2010 if we don't move Hinrich. We currently have 7 players under contract through the 2011 season, Hinrich, Rose, Thabo, Tyrus, Salmons, Deng, Noah. Those contracts together add up to $44.9 million. The current cap this year is $58.68 million. That gives us $13.8 million under the cap...before this year's draft pick (s) and before adding in any kind of extension or new dollars for Gray. The cap has been going up by a couple million dollars per year, but it's hard to imagine it continuing to do so in this economy, but every little bit it goes up counts.

In other words, I think we're a few hundred thousand dollars away from being able to offer a true max contract in 2010 depending on what we do with this year's draft and where exactly the cap falls the next 2 years. We may very well have it.

Rose is indeed a superstar. We finally have our post Jordan superstar. Just imagine once he finally gets that low post player....

Forget how tall he is. Get that boy some beef.

I wouldn't be surprised if Luol was rockin flip flops but to me judging from this picture, I think it would be a safe thing to say that Tyrus is atleast 6'10. Look at him, he's easily a good 2 inches taller than Deng, and yes you can grow in your early twenties, my uncle was 5'9 when he was 16 and when he got into college he grew 4 inches so its different with all people.

What's Wallace getting paid for again?
