Since its a straight up 2 year deal and its being reported KG was flexible I say 2 years 8 million. I would be fine with that all things considered. I won't be shocked if it's more so yeah.

I think you nailed it, monster...2 years/8 million sounds about right to me, but I wouldn't be upset with 2/10.

This statement almost doesn't compute its so asinine. Yes David West plays at a higher level than KG right now, he is also chasing a championship thus the sacrifice. KG and the Wolves however are not. There is no reason to be cheap on KG (at least for this season) bc we can't sign anyone with cap space that doesn't exist and it wouldn't even if we didn't sign KG. KG could try and chase a ring if he so chose, but he is choosing to stick it out here and help our young guys develop and provide veteran leadership/work ethic to a bunch of kids under 21. He is sacrificing his last years in the league to be a mentor rather than compete knowing that it should payoff in an ownership stake when its all said and done.
my prediction 2 years 14 mill. with a player option (that way he can opt out and give us flexibility next summer if we want to try and get involved in free agency)

Meh, I am one of the few that doesn't believe KG is worth our time. I believe he disrupts more than helps at this point. While his intentions may be solid, having to deal daily with a losing culture, and team in general, is going to wear on him quickly. Also, his "mentoring" will be lost on the likes of Payne and Bennett. I just don't care for KG....never have. Don't mistake that for not appreciating what he was as a player...I do. Just don't want him back here at this point. He is a vet min player IMO....nothing more. Many here get lost in the sentimentality of this KG thing. That's all he is at this point, because he will offer very little as a player.
