OrlandoHawk Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Monta was traded there so I'm sure he declined so he can choose somewhere he wants to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 He turned it down because it was a 2 year extension where he likely wants a 5 year deal at that kind of money to resign. So, you are seeing an effect of the CBA. Teams don't want to invest big money long term in questionable players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaceCase Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Teams have demonstrated that they will overpay in the short-term in the current CBA but players have also demonstrated that they won't jump at the first extension they see over testing the market.

An interesting game we have now of russian roulette with the players/agents and the teams setting the market. We will see who wins, usually its the teams.

DrReality Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 isn't fair to say that the owners have flexed their muscles some with where they set the cap. And I think its in the best interest of the league long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
