NOW THATS A DEAL!!!!

When this guy is healthy, he is a scoring machine!!

Best quality signing yet

That Charlotte run last year are getting people paid. Good for them.

Not a fan of this deal for them, but I did like them acquiring Jeff Teague and Young, should be a tough team to beat this year.

BREAKING: Al Jefferson finds out the cap increased. Is now looking for a 3yr/$45mm deal.

Seriously, this is a pretty good contract under the old cap. In the new cap a 16/8 career guy for 10mil is a damn good quality signing.

How did his agent agree to this contract when Mozgov just got 64 million?!?

He's a good player and has become ideal for an off the bench post player to run some offense thru. Generally speaking, post scorers who don't defend or stretch the floor are outdated, so i think it's a fair deal.

There must have been other bidders for Mozzy

Don't forget Jefferson also has a drug suspension on his resume.

Who cares? they signed him to play basketball not to babysit.

Might not end up helping Charlotte too much, though.

Yup. The already lost Lin and Al. Courtney Lee now seems to be a goner as well. Not sure who is going to be their backup PG. They are still big man heavy. They can probably trade one of their bigs for a PG.

he is getting $10 mil to be a backup. every other big deal signed this year has been for players that will start.

Could easily be a starter, would abuse mozgov in the paint

Great signing for them. He was the Hornets best player a couple of years ago. Indiana has made good moves this year. Bird knows basketball and now the GM biz. Surprised they let him go for $10M a year?
