interesting...

these guys are shelling out with these free agency deals...

Klay Thompson-5years, 190 mil

Tobias Harris-5 years, 180 mil

Khris Middleton-5 years, 178 mil

KD-4 years, 164 mil

Kristaps Porzingis-5 years, 158 mil

that's just the top 5...

Crazy numbers. I suspect 3 of these 5 contracts will be regretted in 2 years or so

Pins and needles in Toronto and LA

in the grand scheme of things the Heat just traded Whiteside, a first round pick and Josh Richardson, and had to take on Meyers Leonards crap contract that the Blazers have been trying to get rid of for years, for the right to pay Jimmy Butler, who will be 30 on opening night, 4 years 142 million dollars

that is fucking awful. lol

 

[DJ]

Leonard ain't going to the Clippers as the only star....

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Lets wait for all details.
Looks like Riley/Andy get A+ today.

That's impossible. One-nut already told us Pat Riley was washed up.

 

[LogicMan]

BTW guys I love the Kanter deal. All he needs to work on is his conditioning, jump shot, rim protection, ball handling, 3 pt shooting and hi post game.

A steal !

i think the one with the least risk is Middleton.

see you just dont understand what is going on here-- its above your head which isnt surprising.

ill try and keep it simple for ya since its complicated for a simplton.....

In the NBA, if you do a sign and trade, you become "Hard Capped". This means you cannot, no matter what, go over a certain amount.

If the Heat want to do this sign and trade, they have to get under the hard cap amount.

I assumed that the Sixers would just take Olnyk as the cost of doing business even though they dont really want him because it would net them Richardson- a 3 and D go on a very cheap contract for the next 3 years that fits really well.

Instead the Sixers said--- HAHAHA, yah....we will do the sign and trade, but we have no intention of helping you make the cap room and taking a shit contract like Onlyk, or even worse one like Waiters or JJohnson that runs for an extra year--- we dont want that shit because we are trying to sign Horford---- but if you can get a 3rd team to take your crap---then we can make the sign and trade


It appears the Mavs and Heat had some kind of understanding that blew up in the Heats face......The trading of a useless whiteside for a useless meyers leonard and harkless netted about 4 million in savings.....

so the Heat sitll have to move something like between 12-16M--- i am not sure the exact amount- in order to even do the sign and trade


not many teams have ANY cap space right now--- and NONE of them will take the shit the Heat have for free.....we just saw the going rate of clearing Iggy and his 16M as 2 future first rounders.

I dont even know what teams have cap room at this point to absorb money --- not that many.

The Heat are in a position where they NEED to move well over 10M to do the sign and trade- but no one wants the crap they are selling

its pretty funny.

Talk through it, girl.

@WiggyRuss
Did you watch playoffs last summer?
Who was Phillys best player?
Who was Phillys go to guy?

Joel Embiid is easily the Sixers best player.

the games where Sixers lost it was usually Jimmy Butler hijacking the team and going solo.

 

[Heatles84]

@WiggyRuss after your useless rant, this is pretty funny when you think about it.

 

[Heatles84]

@WiggyRuss
Lots of words again, while proving yourself wrong, twice again.
I understand hard cap.
Heat got it done.

Man.....@WiggyRuss is taking so many L's today.

 

[bksballer89]

Leonard is an expiring contract.

How is that horrible again?

 

[RobToxin]

What the fuck.....

I mean, yeah, you can retire whatever jersey you want as an organization but...

Really?

 

[Heatles84]

EXACTLY what I fucking said.

Richardson, expiring contract, an another asset to get a team to take a shit contract.

No one else on this entire board has anywhere NEAR the grasp of the NBA to predict pretty much the EXACT, and I MEAN EXACT fucking deal that it ended up being.

but its all very logical if you understand the rules of the game.

But.....you just said this wasn't going to happen. Because no one had cap space available to absorb the contracts. Back-pedal much?

 

[Heatles84]

@WiggyRuss rebuttal?

 

[Heatles84]

Leonard is an expiring contract.

How is that horrible again?

@WiggyRuss help us out here, with his supposed shit contract.

 

[WiggyRuss]

ehhh..if you say so

 

[Shanemansj13]

Lakers and Raptors.

Raptors get the last pitch. They will try to convince him to stay in fucking Canada and the Lakers can show him pics of big titty bitches and beaches lolzzz.

Tough choice Kawhi. If you choose Canada we all know you are ghey as fuck.
