The Orlando Magic have come to terms with the Phoenix Suns on a sign and trade deal for Jameer Nelson, DeShawn Stevenson and Al Jefferson. DeShawn will be the second of the three to be signed. We would like to point out that DeShawn is a 73 rated SG and our offer coincides with a similar offer just accepted by Daniel Gibson. DeShawn has shown that he can be a real threat off the bench and will be a key asset of the rebuilding project in Phoenix
Our offer is as follows:
Year 1: $3,500,000
Year 2: $4,000,000
Year 3: $4,500,000
Year 4: $5,000,000 (Player Option)
2008-09: 61,631,104 (After extension w/ Orlando's cap space)
However, we would like to point out that the cap space will be Phoenix, not our own.
This is a four year, 17 million dollar contract that we see as fitting for a talent like DeShawn. He will have the player option in his final year as a "just-in-case" scenario but we fully expect him to be very happy playing for the Suns this season.
