True - but it doesn't matter
The estimate I saw - Portland was ~$2M below the apron... but over the tax line. I think you're incorrect here
Correct. Just another opportunity for some to complain.
Its a full time job for some people....
It's reverse standings. The worst team has highest priority. Portland is essentially 5th in line (since OKC cut him). Houston, Orlando,...
It's at the last day of the regular season.
Could just be $5M cash...
My guess is they are ducking the tax... but that it is as part of a 'unlikely incentive' associated with Ant's contract (ie- making the all-star...
Correct. The new TPE would only be for $3.9M though
I believe you are incorrect here. http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q20 In investigating this further - I dont think GSW even had early bird...
GSW were limited in what they could offer GPII. They couldn't offer more than $6.5M.
They are basically on low-cost contracts & Portland is required to have a minimum number of players. The question is are Didi & Keon better than any...
No. Any team that spends even $1 more than the Tax-MLE (~$6.5M) is hard capped at the apron, which is set at ~$158M. The hard capped teams make...
Thybulle could theoretically still happen. His contract is ~$4.3M & we have ~$5M under the hard-cap. The Roco TPE could still be used
That's a false dichotomy that you are setting up there. Portland could be spending $200M is salary & still have a lotto level team. Just because...
Who cares what you think. End of the day, sport franchises are buisness. They have to make decisions based on their economic realities (which...
And one more thing. Dame & GPII have the same agent (Aaron Goodwin). In theory, Dame could offer to pay the agent fees (assuming 12% is ~$1M) ->...
To be clear - if Portland ONLY used Bledsoe to facilitate the Grant trade, then his contract would have to be guaranteed for $15M. If Portland uses...
It doesn't have to be a total renege... Joe could still pay the Tax-MLE of ~$6.5M instead of the ~$9M negotiated
Pels had enough space below the cap to make the deals. Right now Portland is projected to be ~$4M under. The easiest solution would be to go back...
