do you know how the amnesty process works breh?

Yes

 

[The War Report]

$2.1 mil for Elton Brand? What the fukk is wrong with these teams? Why are teams giving lesser players 3-4 times that much?

The Mavs are paying 2.1 mil of Elton Brand's sixers salary.

 

[Mr swag]

Not sure why the bobcats didn't try to pick brand AND scOlia

Why not?

 

[fact]

Danny "makin'dem mad" Ainge is trying to get a trade going with the Mavs for Terry so the Celts can use the mid on Lee or Mayo. If he can pull that off

Exactly, I don't know why more teams aren't trying to jump on these deals. You get the player while another team is paying most of the salary.

Teams under cap get first dibs you retard. You can only use the amnesty only once.

gotta be under the salary cap to get first bids, plus the bids are blind so you have to take a chance on what you offer being the highest.

Why not?

Because Scola still has a fukked up contract.

Scola is probably gonna be a free agent and sign with the heat.

 

[Relldaproblem]

Wats the deal with this whole batum thing?

[Ritzy Sharon]

the Mavs were reportedly dead set on picking up Brand, but only bid damn near the minimum for him?

Oh so the Mavs were the only team under the cap retard?

Yeah I know how it works but it's not like the Billups one last year where he told everyone not to sign him and he ended up going for a lot less than he should have. If Brand was a free agent, some idiot would have tossed $8-$10 mil at him so why does a $2.1 mil bid end up winning him? If you don't win the bid, you aren't out anything so there's really no risk in throwing out a dummy bid to all of the guys that get waived.

There are teams under the cap trying to give Kris humphries 8 mil a year, but Dallas got brand for 2

These teams are stupid
