Dame makes 2nd team All NBA

12.5 spread over the length of his deal I am pretty sure. So like 2.5 a year.

 

Well deserved to be on one of the all NBA teams. I really thought Thompson would be second team though, so that surprised me a bit.

 

I don't understand the bonus structure. Does it count against the cap, and when?

 

So we have 2.5 less to spend this year? Not sweating it, but I want to make sure I'm reading this all correctly.

 

Yes. But I think Neil basically knew this was going to happen after the streak Dame went through directly following the All-Star Break.

 

Awesome to see this ...2nd team and above some really good players AND Lamarcus

 

The extra $2.5M added to next year's salaries will definitely have an effect if we plan on going after a max salaried player.

Considering all of the CAP holds, we have about $4.2M of space.
- Release Kaman, gives us $10.7M.
- Release Henderson, gives us $19.7M.
** The max for a 0-6 yr vet like Whiteside will be approximately $21.5M.
- Release Roberts, gives us $23.4M.
** The max for a 7-9 yr vet like Horford will be approximately $25.9M.
- There are minimum 12-man roster holds, so release Montero & Alexander (minimum) doesn't give us any extra room.
~ The only remaining non-guaranteed contracts/holds are Leonard ($7.7M), Harkless ($7.2M), and Crabbe ($2.7M).

Hopefully we have the opportunity to make those tough decisions this summer.

 

Really makes you think our target has always been a 0-6 Max Player, rather than a 7-9 or 10+ Max Player.

 

So releasing everyone but Meyers, Moe and AC gives us 23 mil of capspace.

Done deal.

Horford was a long shot to begin with. Dwight might be possible. Whiteside of course.

 

I think those numbers by @42N8Bounce above about 4 responses are cap holds. So only if you think Harkless and Leonard sign for less than 7 MIL right away. Crabbe is obviously getting way more than 2.7 so his hold is fine at that level.

 

Meyers is $7.5. Crabbe is $2.7. Harkless is $7.2.

Unless you see any of those guys getting lower contracts.....

 

I know, right?

 

Congratulations, Damian! Second Team All-NBA! He's more than earned it!

 

That a possibility, but my guess is that with the insane amount of money out there, these guys will be getting at least their CAP holds.
Leonard's cap hold is $7,689,799. My guess is he'll get around $10M.
Harkless' cap hold is $7,235,148. My guess is he'll get around $8M.
Crabbe's cap hold is $2,725,003. My guess is he'll get around $8M.

There's a lot of teams out there with a lot of money to spend.

 

Just imagine what Dame could accomplish if he could perform at a level that Tunchi would find acceptable.

 

Wouldn't a 0-6 player fit in with our age curve anyway?

 

And Enter Whiteside....

 

It would still be better than Lowry, as demonstrated by the all team selections.
