Without looking anything up, my guess would be that his predictions are usually higher than what the player actually signs for because he'll be getting fed those numbers by the agents and the agents are trying to pump up their own clients.

So, if he's saying $5 million x 6 years (or $6 million x 5 years), should we assume the actually numbers will come in slightly lower?
Gross. I understand that you need to entice free agents but yikes I would not be happy with term or pay. Taylor Hall deal would be a steal compared to this if Tre signs Coleman to anywhere close to the rumored deal.

I'd rather develop Zary or Pelletier and save our money. Better investment.
