If the new CBA reduces the RFA waiting period from 15 days to 5, Cleveland might as well throw a huge contract at Phoenix and force them to match. If the Suns match, then you move on to the next guy and you haven't even lost a week's worth of time. I can't see how Phoenix is going to handle throwing a big contract at Johnson with all the other money they are going to spend on Amare and what is already being spent on other players.
The Phoenix Suns are quietly putting out word that they will match any offer to restricted free agent Joe Johnson -- even a max contract worth more than $10 million. The investment would pay off over the longterm, because Johnson could be prepared to take over at point guard as Steve Nash gets older.
