    The 2014 unprotected is a bad Steph Curry crossover away from being a possible lotto pick, and getting all that other stuff for just pushing your cap space 1 year (and filling out your minimum salary requirements) is a heckuva deal. 3 draft picks and an unprotected future first (even forgetting about the 2014) is more than we gave up to get Robinson and Lopez, who aren't filler. Rush is a rotation player on just about any team in the league (including MIA and OKC). Agree that Jeff and Biedrins might (should?) be cut (or moved at the deadline). But they didn't have to take on any long-term salary to get a lot of useful assets. And it wasn't like they were going to use that 20M this year on Howard or CP3 anyway.

    Yep. Utah made out like bandits imo. They were going to suck anyways. Might as well spend money that they have to spend and get some picks thrown in to suck even better.

    Damn Jazz possibly getting a lot better after this coming season. I don't hate them as much anymore, but you don't wanna see conference rivals improving.

    Has no one posted that Bynum signed with Cleveland?

    2 years 24 million but 2nd year team option. 1st year only 6 million guaranteed. Great contract imo.

    Honestly, I didn't realize you could do partially guaranteed contracts in the NBA. I'm surprised we don't see more of that.

    If that's doable, why not pick Oden up on a deal that only guarantees six figures? Hell, he owes it to the Blazers.

    This might be why:

    Jason Lloyd: #Cavs are capped out. Full $12mil counts against cap though only $6mil is guaranteed.

    Well this coming season they should be terrible. We will see if they can actually pull off what they are trying. Too often plans like this result in many bad years.

    They do contracts that are guaranteed once a player is with the team past a certain date all the time.

    He still have a house here? I pretty sure he went back to MIL because his wife has family there so maybe he is ready to retire there.

    Yeah, I remember reading an article stating the MIL location as their primary residence.

    I just don't see him coming back as a player. I'd love to have him as a big man coach

    Yeah, but I've only really heard of that in terms of 10-day contracts, where after two 10-day contracts, players have to be inked for the rest of the season.

    I've never really heard of a contract like Bynum's. Are there other examples? Also, how long does Bynum have to be on the active roster to get his full salary?

    He's on the Warriors LVSL team. Most interested to see him out of all the non-draftees. Also was a DPOY in college.
