If Kidd gets 3 yrs/ $25 mill.......then.....

So how much is Bibby worth? Just wondering what you guys/gals thought? One might say that he is not Jason Kidd (which is true) and therefore shouldn't receive as lucrative of a contract. On the other hand, one might say that Bibby (aside from rebounds and assists) brings many of the things that Kidd does to his team. I am a JK fans as much as the next, but its impossible not to see that he is on the down more that the up.

There is no freaking way Bibby sees Jkidd type money this offseason... He is most definitely a tier down from Kidd

The only thing Bibby has going for him with re-signing with the Hawks compared to what Kidd has would be his age, which I think should make up for the difference in what they bring to the table and therefore get him a contract that is basically equal in length and amount. Having Kidd set the market already is certainly a good thing for us.

I'm not sayin, i'm just sayin.... That tier down might not be as big as we think.

If I'm Bibby I'm signing after Zaza. If Zaza is worth 5/25 (a figure being tossed around on hs.net) then Bibby has to get at least that. Bibby probably looking at 3/18 if Zaza gets what we're thinking he'll get.

6 million per would be fair for his services. I'm a fan of brining him back, but if it takes 25 million to do so, that seems steep to me and may hinder what we could do in the future.

That surprised me too. He is declining and I don't see him having 3 solid years left.

Doesn't surprise me at all. For some reason NBA teams love overpaying for aging stars, they always have.
