However, as you may or may not know there used to be a pretty fair baller to say the least in the NBA nick named Sleepy Floyd ================================ Legendary Performances: Eric "Sleepy" Floyd Sleepy's 29 points in the fourth and 39 for the half showed he was wide awake against the Lakers. http://www.nba.com/playoffs2005/floyd_050503.html ========================== So I am now calling Walt Sleepy Walt in honor of Sleepy Floyd. I guess more accurately I could call him Sleepy Sharpe but I like like Sleepy Walt better.

From that subtract 1 Google gazillion trillion until he learns to play Pistons type defense so right now Sleepy Walt is worth 4 Google gazillion trillion I figure based upon what Amir is worth Sleepy Walt got to be worth 5 Google gazillion trillion just on his offense allow.

From that subtract 1 Google gazillion trillion until he learns to play Pistons type defense so right now

Sleepy Walt is worth 4 Google gazillion trillion

Right, he'll only be 26, but I say 3 years tops. Getting into the Top 15 big men isn't very hard anymore. There are only like 4 true centers left. In 5 years?!

I honestly don't think anyone would offer him much more. In that case, he can try and hold out for more, but he will be a restricted free agent, so we can match any offer.

He will be 29 three years from now. A 29 year old full of potential is not that enticing and definitely not worth much more than the mid-livel exception.

In fact given the fact that NBA ticket sales this year are way down from last year and with the NBA offices in NY laying off about 10% of their people I would say that if Maxiell waits until next summer he will get offered no more than $4.5 million tops. Maxey be a team guy and take the fair offer now. I think Maxey is worth what Joe D. is offering.

I think 5-6 million is about right for him. Besides, at the end of this contract he can really cash in.

That's about how much I'd say. But 5 million a year is a lot, too. At least money-wise. I hope he's happy with that offer and takes it, staying with the Pistons for at least three more years. He's a beast. I wouldn't want to see him leave the team. Maxiell is probably worth 8 million as you said. That’s about how much I’d say.
