After signing the Frenchman Boris Diaw, the Golden State Warriors have filled their 12-man roster for the new season.
After everything was settled, the Golden State Warriors renewed Amar'e Stoudemire with a max contract before the third year of his rookie contract.
The new contract will take effect in 2006 and will last five years, with the fourth year being a player option.
This means that at least until 2010, Amar'e Stoudemire will belong to the Golden State Warriors, and this vanguard of the dynasty will steadfastly stay by Roger's side, fighting alongside him.
Renewing Stoudemire in advance is Mikhail Prokhorov's way of giving Roger peace of mind, as Roger no longer has to worry about foolish incidents like Atlanta's "DPOY not worth the max contract".
Mikhail Prokhorov's indifference to the cost of running the team is not just talk. From Bob Bass suggesting the early renewal for Stoudemire to Prokhorov's decision to pay, it took only 30 seconds.
