I always enjoyed Randy Newman's song "It's Money That Matters." Now you know that it's true.
In the NBA, money really matters as it relates to the summer of 2010. The nation's economy could have a chilling effect on all those guys who planned to be free agents that summer, including our own LeBron James.
Steve Ashburner of SI.com sums it up well: “By synchronizing their three-year contracts, these (2010 free agents) could wind up competing for the reduced dollars of a tighter market rather than all hitting the lottery together.” Aschburner even called Steve Nash’s two-year, $22 million deal “market chill.”
