 Charlotte Hornets - Tony SnellTony Snell will re-sign with the Charlotte Hornets. He has agreed to a 4 year deal worth $39,292,859. Year 1: $11,000,000 Year 2: $10,175,000 Year 3: $9,411,875 Year 4: $8,705,984 Tony is a bird rights free agent and the Hornets made it very clear they wanted him back, however patience paid off as he didn't sign the early offer and waited to see what the market would give him. This decision raised his guaranteed money from $18 million to this $39 million contract. There was an offer that was slightly higher, but given his history with the Hornets and that they showed immediate interest while other teams only turned to him after earlier options failed, Charlotte was always firmly in the front-runner position. |

Not happy that Charlotte got another discount. How do two 26 year olds both decide to take less money? And Snell is surely in a lesser role in Charlotte compared to Memphis. Perhaps we are taking this loyalty thing too far.

Especially with this decreasing contract. I personally have nothing against them in general, however, when James could have either decreased less or not at all to match the bigger offer, I can understand some people being a little upset.

Yeah, this contract is rather wonky given his age etc.

Yeah I'll take less money on my first big contract opportunity because I was already on the team - literally no athlete in the history of ever.

I think some of you guys read into the value of $1 way more than you should. After a while the marginal utility on their extra dollars becomes negligible. I seriously doubt that players get anxious when deciding between 'filthy stinking rich' and 'filthy stinking rich +1'. That said you still had a slight advantage on just money, but Charlotte overcame that with Bird rights and a clear and consistent interest in him from day one of free agency, while you (and everyone else) only turned to Snell as a back up option. I said this in the first post that apparently nobody reads. |

I'd personally choose jermiahs squad because the role looks better and money but I can't fault you for choosing loyalty. James does trade a lot of his non starters though |
