Grizzlies fail to lock up Gay

[valtmac51]

Fourth-year forward Rudy Gay and the Grizzlies failed to reach an agreement on a contract extension before the NBA deadline. Negotiations broke off Monday evening so Gay will become a restricted free agent next summer. The Griz still can match any offer sheet Gay signs. An NBA source said the Grizzlies' final offer was a five-year deal worth about $50 million. Gay was asking for a deal similar to Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge (five years, $65 million with incentives), according to the source.

do he deserve $65M?

Well he ain't worth 65 for 5 years, but when Varejao gets 54 for 6 years, well, you know it, he might be worth it. Aldridge will become a better player than Gay IMO. But still 50 million should be cashing in, too, for Gay.
