2009 Multi-Year Contracts
Here is a list of all non-minimum and multi-year contracts signed in the summer of 2009. These are free agent deals and do not include rookie scale contracts for first round picks, or contracts for minimum salaries. The totals are not exact, but close enough to give readers an idea of how much money was spent.
For the summer of 2009 spending was down across the league as a whole as the teams dealt with the new economic reality, which included projections for a drastically lower salary cap in 2010. The big spender was the Portland Trail Blazers, committing $168 million to three players. The Toronto Raptors committed $124.9 million to four players, the Detroit Pistons $101.7 million to three players, the Atlanta Hawks $77 million to three players, the Los Angeles Lakers $70.9 million to three players, and the Dallas Mavericks dished out $70 million to three players. (Update 12/28: The Lakers signed Pau Gasol to a three-year, $57 million extension just before Christmas, pushing their commitments to $127.9 million, just ahead of Toronto.)
The L.A. Clippers, Miami HEAT, New Jersey Nets, New Orleans Hornets, Philadelphia 76ers, and Sacramento Kings took the summer off.
