It is sad, you almost hope he can wait two years before he busts out, but that is going to be hard. Unlike Daniels he is 7 feet tall. He will also only be 25 in two years. Okur got 6 years $50,000,000 this summer, I would expect Benga gets the same (relative to time) in 2006.

For any Mavs salary information, go to Hoopshype.com, they have a detailed outlay.

boy, that's a downer...you give the kid two years two develop into a solid pro and then we lose him and some other team and they reap the benifits of this athletic beast. That part of the CBA <u>NEEDS</u> to be changed.
