[NJHAWK]

M.C. confirmed its a 6 year max deal offered.

Ya............I believe our own beatwriter over a NY paper.

Now a 5 year deal is better..............If Sund sales JJ on staying a Hawk for the exact same 5 year deal that other teams can offer then he is the MAN.

Question for the capologist:

Can the Hawks offer a 5 year deal with higher % raises then other teams can ?

Yes the Hawks can offer higher raises. I believe it is 10% per year (not compounded) vs 7% per year from other teams, but i am not sure of those figures.

And no deal can be signed until July 8...... :shake_puter:
