    Their cap figure would be the buyout amount. Then there is weird offset math when he signs elsewhere

    Fuck that, he'll want somewhere around 9-12mil at least. I rather we call up Billy King and try to get Jack for peanuts.

    I have to admit if the Blazers are going to suck, my western contingent will be the Mavericks. I just want Wes to succeed and would love to see deandre sulk that he made the wrong choice.

    I dunno, they save money, get close to, or totally under the tax u think, and get Deron out of town.

    It's only 10 million off of the 43 owed, they still have to stretch 33 million. Also isn't Brooklyn in another switch pick situation with Boston this year? So, sucking does them no good.

    I think I saw he took close to 30 in the buyout. I could be wrong. So that'd work out to 15 per year.

    Not saying they want to tank, I think he's just not good for the locker, and they're better off moving on

    Someone said if we dont spend our cap it goes to our current roster. Thats why I dont see Kanter for max and Derron for 10 as a problem. Wouldnt that get us near cap? Its like gambling with free money youll lose anyway

    Buyout is for 27.5. Stretched, so counts only 5.5, for 5 years

    Kudos for picking another team that is also likely to suck.

    Mark Cuban is being so dumb. They'll lose their pick next year and won't be good enough to be anything more than an 8th seed, aka the worst thing you can be.

    Seeing that metally retarded people are incapable of complex mathematical scenarios with confusing and elaborate applications, no.

    It's not fair to choose a favorite. I always hate the overdog (is that a word?).

    I don't think Williams is even that good anymore. But what if we claimed him, and made the Mavs give up a 1st round pick for him?

    I think the mavericks would find it very funny if we put in a claim and got stuck paying Deron 43 million dollars over the next 2 years
