Biedrins actually will have a base salary of $54 mil over 6 years,.

So in reality we all need to repost since Biedrins got a significantly lesser deal than Bogut. At least on the guaranteed money portion. And his was a flat salary at $9mm per.

I suppose.

But are you implying the flat contract for Biedrins is a good thing?
That is not the case at all when you pair it with a player option and/or ETO
Biedrins got a flat contract AND a player option. As I explained, that is not a good thing for the Warriors, it is a good thing for Biedrins.

It allows him to take more of the total contract value before becoming a free agent again if he is at all worth that kind of money. With a standard escalating contract, a player who chooses not to exercise his player option is missing out on a larger percentage of their total contract value by making that decision.
