Jrue Holiday signed 4 year 41 million dollar contract ext.

I can definitely live with that.

[Sixerlover]

I just don't know how the money's gonna add up to build a contender when Jrue and Thad combined are making close to $20M per.

But I guess if Jrue reaches his potential it could be worth it.

Correct. But I don't see Thad here after this season, unless he absolutely flourishes with Bynum at the 5

Also I believe everyone (outside of Jrue, hopefully Bynum, and JRich) will be on 1 year deals next season so we should be able to deal guys if necessary. Jrue's contract isn't the killer it was first reported he was looking for (max money).

Agent and/or team played the media well in having us think that there was this huge gap in what the team was offering and Jrue wanted.

Trade Turner. He's so bad.

I'll take 41/4 with incentives to 46/4. Hopefully the incentives are tough ones. Cool, I can def live with this.

This means bynum better play, be really really good, and resign...

Or else mediocrity looms.

His incentives:
Avg 9.0 apg; score 18.0 ppg; and shoot .480% from the floor.

I was thinking he same thing...I like the extension a lot (having him in the fold), but if Bynum doesn't stay, then next year's team could look ugly...but, who cares about that right now? We are first in the division!!!

Your such a negative nancy hydro

Is there a situation where if Bynum did not play "really really well" that mediocrity wasn't inevitable with this team? The roster minus Bynum screams not bad enough but not good enough either. Jrue's extension didn't change that. It's still a very movable deal if that's the route you want to travel.

It's a good deal for a above average PG that's still only 23...been in the playoffs a couple of years and has yet to hit he prime of his career...Good deal... for both

[MMC1710]

I picture Holliday being a 14-17 ppg / 8-12 apg type of point guard....especially once Bynum starts playing on a regular basis....so this deal should be in line with other guards of those types of numbers...

Oddly all the harsh comments have subsided. No lambasting Sixers for making the deal? I heard it was impossible for holiday to get paid now at almost the exact number I projected.

Currently the best player on team. Better than Lawson. Better than curry. Better than Jennings. Better deal.

Wait you think Jrue is currently better than Lawson and Curry or can be better than them? I see no rational reasoning for Jrue being better than Lawson and Curry based on what we have seen thus far in their career.
