    I'd give them Tim and Mayers, that's it.

    Amazing, we may have found a team he'd be less likely to re-sign with than us.

    Not as a regular feature, no. However, it would be nice to have that as another available option to exploit when available.

    eek. Had not realized that Dwight would get the 10 yr vet max in an extension. And then 7.5% increases every year.

    His $s would be 30/33/35/38/40 to 176/5 yrs.

    Never mind. I take it all back. I don't want Dwight on those numbers.

    If he gets full max, with max raises, and the 5th year. Yup.

    It's why KD will go back to OKC this year and become a FA next year when he's eligible for that 10 yr vet max. 40 mil in the 5th year. Whoa.

    Interesting. Not sure OKC would even want to sign him to a 5 year deal after next year..

    Why assume DHo gets a max contract?

    He plays gimpy and he's a long ways from being the player the Lakers acquired.

    Yeah I suppose you are right. I was thinking he would be 35 in his last year. He is younger than I thought.
    But I wouldn't be surprised if he starts to break down in another 2-3 years.

    And we are talking OKC. They couldn't afford Harden

    There's a good chance that opting out would hurt him financially.

    This year or next? Not a chance.

    There's going to be too many dollars chasing too little talent as it is. Somebody will pay the guy. Guaranteed.

    If Enes Kanter can get the money he did why would Howard not in a year with even more free agency money flying around?

    I don't have any more info than you, but obviously
    Penis Kancer is young and healthy.
    Dwightmare is neither or these.

    The Rockets hired Olajuwon, who spent more than a whole season coaching Dwight Howard. Howard didn't pick up one move.

    Yeah the contracts given out this summer are going to be insane.

    And in 2017 the cap will go up another $18 million.
