Dwight Howard

[Andrei Kirilenko]

Dwight Howard is pleased to announce that he will be signing with the Golden State Warriors for the following contract:

Year 1 - $18,445,182
Year 2 - $20,474,152
Year 3 - $22,726,308
Year 4 - $25,226,202
Year 5 - $28,001,085

Total - $114,872,929


There was a lot of competition for Dwight, but at the end of the day he felt that Golden State offered him everything he was looking for. The team is young and exciting and has a great fan base that we're confident will make him feel at home. It truly seemed like a place where Dwight could imagine himself being happy, more-so than any of the other potential destinations we considered.

poor new york!

The Warriors are super pumped about Dwight bringing his talents to San Fran!

And before anyone checks the LSD & claims this signing will take me over the cap there are a couple mistakes on the LSD that Ive already alerted Ian about.

Terrence Jones is listed twice & Jeremy Evans has a team option for this year which we didnt pick up so he shouldnt be listed as he should be a free agent. Just wanted to put that out there before anyone got all riled up and tried to cause a controversy.

Really excited about this signing though and it was tough deciding between Dwight or trying to resign Al Jefferson. I wouldnt be doing my job if I didnt check on Dwight's interest level in us and when we recieved a lot of positive feedback from Dwight we had to go for it.

We thank Al Jefferson for what he did this season and wish him luck wherever he ends up

In all honesty, I hate Dwight's guts and this just give me more reason to do so. I don't think it was a very good decision on his part, but I respect and understand what Barber did. Honestly, I sort of figured it would happen since Oakland/San Fran constitutes a much bigger market, and that is a factor despite the absurdity of it, than Sacramento. However, I do want it to be known how much money I offered.

The Sacramento Kings would like to offer Dwight Howard, the real Superman, a five year deal worth a hundred fifty-five million six hundred ninety-five thousand dollars.

Year 1: $25,000,000
Year 2: $27,750,000
Year 3: $30,802,500
Year 4: $34,190,745
Year 5: $37,951,760

Total: $155,695,000

Salary Chart with Mr. Howard:

Totals: $ 58,629,313 (13/14) $ 48,618,450 (14/15) $53,854,645 (15/16) $ 41,076,176 (16/17) $ 37,951,760 (17/18)

Cap Space: $ 049,687 (13/14) $ 10,060,550 (14/15) $4,824,355 (15/16) $ 17,602,824 (16/17) $ 20,727,240 (17/18)

Josh Smith has ALWAYS been my primary target, but if I miss out on him there will be changes in Sacramento.

Also, congrats to Chris Mullin and the Golden State Warriors; they definitely made the division much much tougher.

Damn I truely thought either New York or Denver

Mullin the next EOTY though
