    I'm going to quibble on this a little because i think your math is slightly off. The difference for a Bird rights player is that they get 7.5% raises rather than 5% raises from another team. You can see that in the contract numbers here, as they are climbing by 7.5%:

    http://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/POR.html

    It does seem that he starts off at a lower than 25% of cap salary, but over the course of 4 years, its 109.8 vs 106, so almost 4M

    Utah's supporting cast was decent but hardly great. Lyles and Burke are now off the team and were pretty underwhelming, and Exum appears to be in the process of busting as well. Otherwise they had Burks, Hood and Favors all show promise then regress due to injury. They have Gobert, who while excellent is pretty offensively challenged, and just acquired Rubio (and Mitchell) who are decent but also can't shoot. That is a decent team with questionable upward mobility in a tough conference.

    I understand they're 7.5% raises as opposed to 4.5% (not 5%), which is why I used the 3% variance per year to calculate the total variance.

    The 109M figure showing in the link is incorrect (it probably included his salary from this year). If you sum the values listed, they total 106,633,450. And Porters deal (99,093,000×0.25×[4+(.045+.090+.135)]) is 105,781,777.50, or under a million less than CJ's deal.

    You're free to double check (which you always should, for accuracy's sake), but my math is flawless.

    I am not buying into this. GS sucked and was not a FA destination before they won a championship. The Cleveland-Akron-Canton market is not much bigger than Portland. SA is smaller.
    New York is #1 and how is that working out? What have the Bulls ever done without Jordan? Philly? Washington DC? Atlanta? Detroit? These are some of your bigger markets.

    Win and FA's will come.

    Oh yeah, shot about 40% from three, which is quite good. I thought you were trying to knock him by saying he shot 40% from the field.

    Nah, Smart is much younger, has the potential to be a good shooter and he doesn't need the ball in his hands to make winning plays.
    He's just a winner imo. He's the guy who gets you that important rebound late in the 4th or gets the steal or draws the offensive foul etc.

    What's the point of the Eastern Conference? It's the Cavs/Celtics and 13 shit teams.

    ATL has cap space, we don't. If you don't like ATL, it's all good, everyone left there.

    To be fair, Wade isn't near as good as he was. Age and injuries have robbed him of a lot of his game.

    But also to be fair, Wade wasn't paid well on his rookie deal, so getting paid in the end even things out.

    This lessens the blow of the AC/ET overpays a bit.
