Exclusive Dame can’t be traded until July 10th…err now...fricken trolls

He's wrong & doesn't know what he's talking about

http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q24

 

I don't even know when we just used the third pick and seventh pick on our back court why people are talking about Herro. Ant could still make sense for our team sharing minutes with our two recent lotto picks but to add another high impact guard, if Dame is being moved wouldn't make a lot of sense.

 

Obviously Herro or Simons would need to be traded.

 

Thank you CJ...I was pretty sure he was wrong, but I didn't know where it was in the FAQ

 

in regulation, or would they need a few overtimes ??

 

How does a guy like Highkin get it wrong like this.... so weird.

 

You need to be a detailed CAP nerd to know these things. It happens...

 

Which it seems like only fans or highly paid front office people are cap nerds. The media is allergic to it.

 

the CBA FAQ is a difficult read. I've probably read nearly every section of it twice and my usual response to a CBA question starts with either "I don't know" or "IIRC" or "I could be wrong"

and that's the FAQ. The actual CBA is about 357 times as long and complicated as the FAQ

 

Receipts

 

The actual CBA is a fun read! For losers like me, I suppose.

 

there's Dame trolls everywhere !! Are some of these "Blazer fans" actually bots hired by the franchise to protect Cronin & Jody Allen on social media and chat forums ?? I'm actually starting to wonder.

 

I didn't think he signed the designated player extension though, but rather just a regular extension... So my understanding is that Highkin is in fact correct. Can we confirm that Dame extended via a designated player extension?

 

It was designed player extension. Dame signed for as much as he was eligible for. Its 35% of the cap instead of 30%

Just want to bump this. Too much he said, she said. Until he can be traded, the media is going to milk this for all it is worth. If not, we are stuck with a pretty slow sports news cycle.

Take a deep breathe, everything will be ok.

I am almost fifty and have accepted our fate. We almost always hear about the negatives associated with global warming.

What about the positives? There has to be something.
