Yea, something like that. They were going to take the risk on letting him wait til he's a RFA just to see how much he was truly worth.
They got scared to do the same with Conley and Zbo and that's why they extended him so quickly, but without regards to knowing the value of the CBA. The good thing about extending Marc, DA and possibly OJ is that the new CBA could be in place meaning their contracts should come out cheaper.

In the fall of 2009 the Grizzlies were offering 5 years-$50 million to Rudy. Rudy was holding out for "Danny Granger money" so in the ball park of $65 million.Originally Posted by rck2sactown

Fast forward to last summer. T'Wolves were ready to host Rudy but the Grizzlies called and said they would give him the max in order to avoid having to match a front loaded max offer from a team like the Nets (who knew they had little to no chance at LeBron).
All this happened when Heisley was saying he was going to match any and every offer for Rudy during the season. Heisley was much better off giving into Rudy's initial offer than waiting.

To be fair tho, at the time Rudy wasn't quite playing at a Granger level......

A euphemism for any player who gets paid more than they're actually worth. Perfect for Rudy.

Rudy Gay seems to get more valuable here without playing a game for months.
Randolph been the best player on the team anyways.

I bet you won't.
Better yet, I know you won't. This is coming from the same guy who said the Grizzlies had no chance of making the playoffs after Rudy went down and they were not a good team.
Oh..and I think its safe to say the Grizz wouldn't be here if they traded OJ for McRoberts at the deadline. THAT'S what should be discussed, not if Rudy was on the damn roster.
Rudy is not a good fit for that team. You think they will be able to repeat this next season? they will probably get a 1st round exit with Rudy in the lineup.

I won't argue that.
Now, Rudy's better. Granger still can't even put the ball on the floor and is more of a shooter than anything. His offensive game is very limited.

Gay finally caught up this season, but no, he is not better. About the same. Good second options.

So the Grizz paid Rudy, Conley, Z-Bo, TA, and is expected to pay Gasol, Arthur, and Mayo?
I'm not in front of a computer but how much does that project to? Would that projection also be pre or post CBA?

Grizzlies will definitely (over)pay Gasol. Juice is moving, either this summer or next. DA will depend on the market.
Team salary will probably be around $68-72 million range.

I swear that gets asked every week and BHZ responds with a long explanation each time that it is possible. If the owner is willing to and there is no hard cap, then why not? And DA and Mayo are still under contract anyways. If Battier agrees to a pay cut and gets TA money, props to the Grizz.
