Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Is Candace Parker, Anthony Parkers' sister??? If so, now that I look at them, they resemble each other very much....

On BSPN's ticker I believe it stated he signed for 2 years for a total of 5.5 million. I didn't see any specific breakdown as to the dollar amount per yer though.

It's approx $2.65M this year and $2.85M next year.

Channing Frye signed at $2Mil.
 
Here's an article from Rosen on Parker....

Anthony Parker to the Cavs

For the past several years, Cleveland's most overriding offseason concerns have been to surround LeBron with the "right" players. That is, to focus on accomplished shooters and/or scorers who would hopefully make opponents pay dearly for collapsing their defenses around LBJ's irresistible forays into the paint.

These recruits include Mo Williams, Wally Szczerbiak, Damon Jones, Larry Hughes, Flip Murray, Donyell Marshall, Sasha Pavlovic, Lucious Harris, Jeff McGinnis, Jiri Welsch, Ricky Davis, Jason Kapono, Daniel Gibson and Dajuan Wagner.

The results have been mixed, yet disappointing overall.

Shaq, of course, will be the Cavs' featured addition. But, in deviating from their usual modus operandi, Cleveland has also obtained the services of one of the best role players in the game.

Here's what Anthony Parker will bring to the mix:

Anthony Parker should improve the Cavs' backcourt in 2009-10. (Ron Hoskins/NBAE / Getty Images)

# Incredibly accurate 3-point shooting: 41.5 percent for his career.

# Excellent defense, with the size (6-foot-6, 215 pounds) to guard small forwards and the quickness to defend shooting guards.

# An effective variety of iso moves, including turn-around and step-back jumpers.

# Intelligent pass-work and terrific court vision.

# Even though his lifetime average is 10.1 points per game, he doesn't need undue ball-time to score.

# Endless heart and hustle.

# Complete unselfishness.

In other words, Parker is capable of doing the kind of trenchwork that all championship teams require. Plus his considerable, yet unassuming talents can fit into any system. Imagine the damage and the nightmarish matchups that the following unit could inflict on opponents: Shaq, LBJ, Williams, Delonte West and Parker. In fact, these five have all the earmarks of a championship-winning lineup.

In Parker, at long last, the Cavs have a perfect compliment to LBJ's unique skills.

Yea, many of us think he could be a better option than Delonte for starting. Either way, he should get a lot of playing time and be a major contributor.
 
Anthony Parker could be to us what James Posey was to the Celtics a couple years ago.... Only better...
 
The numbers on the deal:

-- The contract Parker signed with the Cavs is reportedly worth $5.5 million over two years. That would break down to about $2.65 million in 2009-10 and $2.86 million in 2010-11.

-- The Cavs should have about $3.15 million of their mid-level exception remaining.

I wonder if we'll just spend it on Joe Smith...

Windy said yesterday that Smith wants three years, Cavs only want him for one. Guess we'll see.

I see Joe's point-of-view on this one, he's practically got a moving van strapped to his back.
 
I know I'm a little late on this whole A Park thing, but I just watched his press conference---

This man is exactly what we need, A+ character guy, hard worker, and just wants to win,
this dude is exactly what our team needs, he'll soon become a fan favorite...
 
I wanted to see Candace in Cavs colors.

The Celtics have agreed to a one-year deal with Shelden Williams for the veteran's minimum, sources tell Y! Sports.

I guess the huge question remains then. Cavs vs Celtics in ECF, who does Candice root for. Celtics because they gave a job to her husband and put food on her table or the cavs because we commited longer to her brother and he actually gets to play for us during meaningful minutes. This is the biggest question to me, going into the season.:chuckles:
 
Can you use the vet. minium more then once? If not then the Celtics have used every drop of money they have got.
