2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

If the Heat have Bam, Winslow, J Rich and max money for 2 players, its a great situation for any top FA to seriously consider IMO.

I wouldn't rule this out with the lure of South Beach. Cavs don't have that advantage, though. and not something the FO can do anything about.

 

[dtgold88]

not THIS SUMMEr

but the following summer for the Heat:

Winslow-13
Richardson-11
Bam- RFA- due a raise
James Johnson- 16M
Kelly Onlyk- 12M
Dion Waiters- 13M

WITHOUT BAM- you have commitments of 65M...thats without Bam's possible extension. Other teams will be able to give him an offer sheet Miami would have to match.

So, WITHOUT ANY RAISE FOR BAM- 65M--- lets say Bam makes a low ball figure of 10M- which is low, but hey, what are friends for?--- so thats 75M

the cap at that point will prob be somewhere between 122 and 128.- lets say 125 for shits and giggles. A max would START at about 38M. a "max" contract is 30% of the cap.

2 max contracts would require 76M in cap room.

125-75- 50M.

and thats with only 6 guys under contract- and no cap holds for draft picks or the other roster spots.

Now will Onlyk decline his 12M dollar player option? ehh...doubtful, but not impossible

JJohnson? LOL- no way in FUCK hes turning down 16M - that is a BAD fucking deal. lol


its a FANTASY to think the Heat will have the cap space to sign 2 max guys in the summer of 2020.

Yep...I take back what I said (that I wouldn't rule it out). I did that giving him the benefit of the doubt they could have those 3 and sign 2 max guys and fill out a roster.

First, said I wasn't sure it was you to begin with. But I said I have been able to refute comments with logic, facts and reason and this was one such example. didn't have to be regarding Lebron's posse....but in this case it was.

Or do you think the cavs should have let TT, JR and Shump walk even thogh Lebron wanted them to stay...so they could sign no one.

You've tried to yell @ so many people in the NBA threads from the moment you got here you've mixed yourself up.

I have never commented on this topic. But don't let that get in the way of your logic & facts.

 

[dtgold88]

You really have forgotten about the money thrown around that summer.

I mean, Miles Plumlee got 4/52, Delly 4/38, S. Hill 4/48, Noah 4/72, let alone the Lakers moves as well as many others.

Ok, so because other teams made bad deals it's OK that Riley did?

 

[dtgold88]

Lesser?
Who said that?

I see no reason to go through all of this for the 500th time.

How about this, annual results will determine which plan works out best.
Let me know when the Cavs have a better season then the Heat moving forward.

So you think with no cap space nor draft picks they were going to find better players to bring in than the guys who helped them win a title? Such as?

And, you are the one who said if they let them go maybe they kaap Lebron.....so you think NOT signing guys he asked them to keep was the way to keep Lebron?

Oh my.

 

[dtgold88]

Getting to the Finals when you have James is like hiring a hooker and she lets you squeeze her tits.

Lakers might beg to differ....never mind the many who wrote off the cavs before last year's playoffs.

This fucking world we live in.....a 35-40yo man assaulted a woman in her 70's on the train in the Bronx and all people could do was pull out their cell phones and record it.....not 1 person stepped in and tried to stop it.
I would have whooped his ass or attempted to for doing that to somebody's mom and grandmother.

which was why I said IF it was you. And I believe it was.

I saw that story earlier this morning. WTF is wrong w/ people? I hope they get the pussies responsible for this.

Like housing, the market is what it is, or what it was.
Those salaries were on the low end of the bad ones.

Just 1 huge pussy....he was seen talking shit to somebody as he left the train.....do that to a woman but just talk shit to some dude.

Im talking about when he was on the Heat and Cavs.

Not sure if you were around end of last season but I stated that Gilbert might hope James leaves, and that James might rather lose earlier then late if he can’t win it all.
And no, Im not saying he planned on not even making playoffs.

 

[Wamu]

You can believe what you want but it wasn't me. You're good @ making up your own reality. One more time since you don't seem to get it. I have never talked about this topic until you mentioned my name.

In fact, it was you....post #28864. I know you can't admit your mistake (or gaffe if you prefer). I get you have a tough time keeping up with what's going on but I said I have been able to refute comments with logic, facts and reason. You said you doubt it.

This was such an example. Or do you think the cavs should have let solid players walk and signed lesser players, too?

wasn't here and I doubt it....I think he wanted his Finals' streak in tact.

 

[dtgold88]

You are so blinded by hate/jealousy that its almost funny.

Its just what you are.

Look at your 360 turn on James.

I could see it coming from like maybe someone 10 years old or less.

Nice deflection. You think you can deal JJ and not also have to give up a first and/or take back a bad contract?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Oh my.

He wanted them signed to big cash only because they were Klutch clients, not because of talent.
Where is J.R. these days anyway?

 

[dtgold88]

The Heat would give up a first rounder AND Winslow to unload JJ?

You smoking #ghettocrack?

They probably wouldn't. which makes him nearly untradeable unless they take back an equally bad deal.

 

[dtgold88]

TGIF and MARCH FUCKING MADNESS IN FULL SWING!!!!!!!!

#WINWIN

LOVE this time of year.......better, of course, when Cavs still have another few months left in their season.

He said give up a pick AND Winslow.
