[Rumour] Maple Leafs to sign Ryan Reaves (3 yrs, ~1.3 mil AAV)

[Spurs]

There will be a lot worse deals signed that this one and Tre had a lot worse deals when signed here, but this seems like an unnecessary signing for a team that has cap concerns.

I hope he asks for the max.

It's a tricky one and I can definitely see both sides. However, if you're looking to take up 15% of the cap or whatever it is, you are definitely limiting your GM's ability to build a Cup-winning team around you.

It’s not that bad of a deal for the meanest guy to protect your stars…
Florida wiped the table with all their big guys, this stops that for 1.3M…
Term is a bit long, but TOR is in its window so it is what it is.

Your GM is limiting your ability to win the Cup when he signs Reaves and Kampf to multi year deals.
