The Raptors took care of some bookkeeping yesterday when they signed rookie forward Chris Jefferies to a contract. so he'll earn about $652,000 US this season, $700,000 next season and $749,000 in 2004-05, plus or minus 20%. But apparently within that 20% there was enough of a difference of opinion between the Raptors and Jefferies' representatives that the negotiations were dragged out to within mere hours of the opening of training camp.

It took nearly two months, but the Hawks have finally come to an agreement with 6-foot-7 guard Ira Newble on a one-year contract for next season. The Hawks did not reveal numbers on the deal, but Newble, 27, is believed to be getting $700,000. He turned down an offer of one year plus an option.

(Email source confirms salary = 762435. 3yr vet minimum is only 612,435. it sounds like they signed him for more than the minimum. Could have used the "non-bird", "1.4mil" or "mid class" exception. For now, I’m assuming the 1.4mil exception was used.)

Yr1 762,435
