What part of salary cap is too difficult for you to grasp?

.

ill tell you PRECISELY the part that I fail to grasp about the salary cap---- YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GO OVER IT AND THE RICHEST OWNERS LIKE GILBERT DO!

they spend hugely over the cap to give themselves the best chance to win.

 

[WiggyRuss]

oh and i totally agree with spending more money on the product--- that something the LAkers can DEFINITELY do- they have the reputation for having the least progressive analytics department in the entire league....

And obtw, Cali's STILL a great place to move to...

What's the weather like in Cletown these days...?

AND HOW'S THAT WORKED OUT FOR HIM SO FAR...?

Cue the laugh track...

Source...?

I'd like to read that one by a REPUTABLE person...

Kobe's money does come off the books after this season, and as you yourself mentioned they DO have to stay within the confines of the current CBA...

Gonna have pretty much a fuckton of money. your crystal ball telling you no players are gonna jump on it...?

What's hilarious is that in his letter, Dan Gilbert swore that the Cavs would win a title before Lebron did.

Then he proceeded to tank so that he could gather assets to attract top level FA's. Wiggy has gone as far as to claim that he did this to get Lebron to come back. That it was some "master plan."

Now, the Lakers decide not to overpay lesser players, wait for Kobe to retire while gathering assets and freeing up cap space and suddenly "they're not doing anything to improve the team."

Literally can't make shit like that up.

ask Greg Monroe who decided to go to Milwaukee when offered millions by hte LAkers.-- or Kevin Love for that matter--- or pretty much any free agent the lakers have courted over the last near half decade.

 

[trojanfan12]

The Lakers currently have nearly 5 times the operating income of the Cavs.

And they have 1/20th the debt servicing as they essentially own the team outright.

Not to mention the asset value will skyrocket to unfair levels once the new Lakers TV deal is set.

The Lakers are fine.

I think Wiggy has somehow missed this post. Pretty much ends the discussion.

once again, Cue the laugh track...

Uh, it's "the Land" now. Lebron said so.

 

[WiggyRuss]

nothing sweeter than watching DeAndre Jordan miss clutch free throws with time running down in the 4th quarter!

Totally skipped the part where i said Kobe's money was coming off the books...

Nicely done...

Really? How many times did he do that without Lebron on the roster. You know, during those 4 years when he was in Miami and Gilbert guaranteed Cavs fans they would win a title before he did.

Oh wait. You may have missed all of that since you were an OKC fan then.

Nothing funnier either (sorry @Mecca). Ridiculous that so many of these guys can't shoot free throws any better than they do.

 

[Black Adam]

Oh my bad. Well if it's the "King's" wish then so shall it be. Hey, would that make it an edict...?

Dang that LeBron. Gotta change that on the map now...

 

[WiggyRuss]

wow the Clippers are horrible at the small forward position.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Jr Smith is just LIGHTING UP the Clippers.

 

[Black Adam]

Just looked at TNT. No wonder Wiggy is happy...

 

[WiggyRuss]

Clippers starting PF and SF combined for 4 points on 1 of 7 shooting....not easy to win when that happens---Chris Paul did play a helluva game though. DeAndre Jordan took only 5 shots....

Kevin Love with a great performance 18 and 16...lebron with 12 assists...kyrie high scorer at 21 in only 28 minutes....very good balance and ball movement tonight...lets see if they can keep that up.
Clips had been playing well lately- but without Griffin- it wasnt gonna be a very easy especially with the Cavs new focus...

 

[Black Adam]

Too bad the Clips ain't the Dubs... eh, Wiggy...?
