Not to someone, but the logic of that certain someone is the reason he's been afraid to post here since Thursday.

Place your bets for the excuse for his absence!
wow i am smartRobin Lopez get 13 million when the cap was 70 million last summer. Next year the cap goes up the most it ever has in the history of the NBA....EVERYONE has to seriously re-evalaute what good contract "value" is.
wow i am smart

i suppose you are not intelligent enough to see the advantage of tying up your players to long term deals and having the core of your team set BEFORE the cap explodes. doesnt surprise me.If you say so (although only you share that opinion with yourself).
EVERYONE knew the cap was spiking.
EVERYONE knew that would lead to bigger contracts.
EVERYONE also told you that other teams could add players and the Cavs would not be able to which is exactly what is projected to happen.
THAT was the major downside we projected for the Cavs.
The saving grace, of course, is that the Cavs won.
They didn't win though because they overpaid, they won is spite of it.

suddenly shumpert at 10M and Frye at 7.5M dont seem like awful trade chips.Not only that we have plenty of tradable pieces if need be, plus we will get a few good mid level players that just want to join a championship team for cheap

the discount stuff to join a championship team is kinda repulsed by the huge cap increase though. In a normal year - maybe only a handful of teams have cap room- and most of them suck- so a vet might willingly take a discount to go for a title....right now a lot of very good teams have cap room--- so many that the price is being driven up like crazy....its why i think its fairly unlikely any vets take sizable discounts to play for a winner a la david west last year.
yah....people are gonna be paying joakim noah and guys like bazemore and who knows what WAAAY more dollars than guys like Kyrie and TT are making- and Kyrie and TT have YEARS left on their deals.Cavs are actually in a great spot. How many teams are going to overpay for a guy like Jokem Noah or some other scrub...and be stuck with a massive contract that nobody will want 2 years from now

If I were the Cavs I would try and lineup all the non core player contracts (everyone but LBJ, KI, TT and Love) to expire at the same exact time (not next year- but the year afteR) when the cap takes its last hike- and have room to add a big time guy at that point...maybe even next year if they can do some reshuffling.
Lebron may take a discount to bring on his friends in a year, look out for that

this just shows how little u understand what is going on. Expiring contracts are worth nothing now. Guys with longer contracts and cost certainty have much more value - for the most part anyway.I'm not intelligent enough?
Maybe talk to Kevin Love or anyone that signed a contract last year..??
Seems like they all cost themselves a ton BUT that's business, that's the way it is.
Regardless of the economic lesson, James made sure that Tristan got paid 2x what ANY other owner would have paid him LAST year.
THAT will never change.
And trade Shump and Frye for whom?
Neither has expiring contracts, right??

you gotta keep up. I am not sure you understand- or that many people really do- how all of this stuff comes together.
not to brag- but to brag- i read a ton about it- and understand the strategy, the cap, the exceptions, the trends, the outside influences better than anyone else on here by a pretty large margin. Citysushi has shown a decent understanding of it too i think--- Ducky as well---- I think Mecca gets it- but she doesnt really spend the time or effort to understand it on a higher level.
A year ago- when i am saying how revenue is going up a huge way- and you combine that with salary floors, only a certain amount of free agents, and huge cap increases- it TOTALLY changes the game. Its something the Celtics did not adequately plan for- all their cap space and draft picks - which tehy could have leveraged in a huge way 2-3 years ago- are worth maybe HALF of what they used to be.
Yeah, but its the safer, conservative move. Some would say its the more financially responsible move.
Unless you're LeBron... there's no guarantee year-to-year that you are still going to command the max. Everyone is one injury away from seeing their earning potential go out the window.
