Contract

$3MCap hitends in 2011, then RFA
$97KCap dollars per point31 points in 77 games

His cap hit for the whole season, set against what he did in the regular season. Lower is better value. In a season still being played the cost per point starts high and falls as the games add up.

The contract

Who signed him to it, and when, are not on record. It runs through 2010-11, with 2 seasons left after this one, and he is then a restricted free agent.

Season Cap hit
2008-09 $3M
2009-10 $3M
2010-11 $3M

Each season left on the contract. Only its cap hit and its end are known: how the pay is split by season, and any signing bonus, are not.

Contracts he has signed

Signed Signed by Kind Seasons Years In all Cap hit
2018-19 to 2020-21 $7.6M
2016-17 to 2017-18 $7.6M

2011-12 to 2015-16 $5.2M
2008-09 to 2010-11 $3M

Every contract on record for him, newest first, with the team that signed him to it and the day it was signed. The one covering 2008-09 is marked. An extension is signed while the contract before it is still running, often a year ahead. A row with no team or date is a contract known only by its cap hit, most often one signed since October 2024.
