I think him using it wrong is tainting me. I do think his strengths are better than advertised - he was supposed to be a decent to good defender, have great court vision, be awesome on the break, be an elite rebounder - he's delivered there.coyote5 said:I read this and can't help but feel that neither of you understand how to use the phrase "better than advertised" appropriately
I guess I still don’t understand this. Dallas is taking on like 150% of the salary back.
Dallas has cap space to take on more than it sends out. In your Miami trade, the salary going to Washington exceeds that of Beal and Wall going out. Washington doesn't have the space to take in excess salary.
I get the Miami one, but it says that Dallas can take on 125% of the salaries, but they are taking on a lot more than that. Or do they have an additional cushion from the cap space?
They don’t save much this year but will for the year after. I still don’t think they can sign Lopez and will pass on Mirotic. I continue to believe they’ll match any offer to Brogdon.
Bucks GM already made it sound like Lopez is a done deal. Apparently the effort to shed Snell's contract was so they'd be able to match any Brogdon offer sheet. I think Mirotic is a goner as well.
You are correct in that I read what he wrote improperly. I read what he wrote very quickly and incorrectly interpreted that he wrote that lonzo's strengths are over emphasized while his weaknesses are underemphasized. That's certainly not what he wrote--and I stand corrected for reading it quickly incorrectly. Nice catch.coyote5 said:I read this and can't help but feel that neither of you understand how to use the phrase "better than advertised" appropriately
Agreed. I think the deal definitely makes sense for the Jazz--and I think that Memphis did the right thing by moving him and his contract. They are so far from being a contender that they really need to focus on getting young players and developing them. I do thnk that if Conleys contract was less expensive--they would have multiple teams offering them far more than what they got---but under the circumstances---both parties got what they wanted.Long Ball Larry said:
Marks is saying they’ll have $14m in cap room to offer Lopez, which will probably be enough for him.
idiotic. guy opts in 3 days ago when he could probably get years or fill lineup for one of these Starball consortiums and Traitor Danny makes him regret it before the week is out. and he's white. Ainge is like the fantasy owner who's fine w losing all his leagues as long as he wins all his trades.
This off season could be like a couple of years ago when Boston swapped out 3/4 of their roster. I wouldn’t rule anything out, from them doing nothing to them trading most of the team.
It looks like Baynes is in the way if the Celtics want to have a max salary slot available. I think it's the right move although I'm not sure who the Celtics should target.
yeah, an African-American ballplayer is gonna sign in cold, nitelifeless Boston after Kyrie stirred the drink so bad over Gordo that it's too much for Al frikkin Horford. Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Vucevic!!
Rozier has a $9 million cap hold. If they want to use that money to sign another free agent with cap space, they'd have to renounce him. That would mean he'd be an unrestricted free agent and the Celtics could only use cap space or exceptions to sign him (which wouldn't seem pausible).
As a Lobo fan, i wish i could recommend, but.............. He must practice real hard or sumn. He's ona those guys who hangs around the 3pt line cuz he's got no usable skillz (how can a zone defender avg less than half a steal?!) so they throw him the ball when his man has doubled them. He shoots like one of Ray Allen's hangovers and plays that steppy-wavy defense from high school.
Let's say Boston goes out and signs someone and is under the cap with Rozier penciled in at $9 million. Another team offers Rozier $20 million a year and Boston decides to match (both unlikely, but let's just go with it). So even though they were under the $109 million cap number initially by adding the unnamed free agent (with Rozier allocated at $9 million), now they are at $120 million (with Rozier now at $20 million). Would that fly with the league in terms of being "under the cap" and could they keep the guy they signed as a free agent? Or do you have to either re-sign/match contract offers for your RFA's BEFORE you can sign a free agent?
It flies.
Yes, that would work as long as they officially sign the free agent before matching. Timing matters. If they matched beforehand, the $20 million would replace the $9 cap hold.
I'd be interested to hear how the Lakers and Rockets could match up the salaries, seeing how the Lakers only have 5 players rostered and I am guessing they aren't moving LeBron or AD.
That's a lot of money for a backup center. Unless they consider him as the 4.

you forgot "Can you find a way to get Chris Paul to us? Come'on, you have done that before with him."(Pelinka phones Silver)
Pelinka: I have some ideas on how to get another max salary on this roster so LeBron loosens the grip he has on my balls, but I need your help.
Silver: Okay, go on.
Pelinka: Can you raise the salary cap?
Silver:
Pelinka: Can I change the years in the Deng stretch provision from 2019 and 2020 to 2020 and 2021?
Silver:
Pelinka: Can you veto the AD trade?
Silver:
Pelinka: Stern would have done it!
Silver:
Pelinka: Well, I'm out of ideas.
Silver: Then you're ####ed.
If this is the case, I’m going to follow along on Twitter. It takes them too long to announce trades on TV. (Nobody worry, though, I won’t spoil things here.)
It seems Doumbouya is rising and virtually everyone seems to like him. Apparently the Bulls are considering him. I’m not crazy about him from the video I’ve watched but what do I know?
Duncan & Leroux liked his jumpshot and feel for the game, also gave him credit for earning minutes on a decent pro team as a teenager. Obviously his age is a big plus too, won't turn 19 until December. I'm never blown away with Euroleague tape, even with top prospects like Doncic, since it seems like the competition is so much weaker than the NBA. I'd make a pretty lousy scout.
