It's all good

[Berry, Mark S]

It's going to be tough. The Nene contract screwed things up for
everyone. I'm sure Perk's agent is looking at that and asking for those
kinds of numbers. I'm sure Danny is pitching something far less. It's a
dangerous thing.

Hopefully Perk will play so well this season he'll make them happy to
give him the big money. Because we all know he's the kind of kid who
will work at it. If he starts getting consistent results, you can't ask
for much more from a young starting center.

Does anybody here think that Perk is worth more than the mid  level?   I
mean 
right now.  Last season he averaged 20 minutes, 5  points, 6 rebounds,
1.5 
blocks and 3 fouls.   Let's say he can double  the time, just to make it
easy.  
<g>   That would mean  fouling out in 40 minutes, with 10 points, 12
rebounds 
and 3 blocks.   I'd certainly give him 6/$42 for that, if his D is
decent.  
Maybe  more.  But the question is "right now".  Right now, I'd strain to
give  
him the mid level.  I guess if I was his agent I wouldn't rush to get
him  
signed.
