A big NBA money crunch is coming

[Fenian]

problem wasnt the amounts they paid out, since with the floor you HAVE to pay someone. problem was they doled out so many 4-5 year deals to marginal players. pay a lil more for a 1-2 year deal so youre not hamstrung for years down the line. no forward thinking at all

GMs are retarded, that's how the likes of Danny ainge have been able to rape these clowns with trades.

 

[CHICAGO]

It was, Conley being injured post deal doesn't make it dumb. He was a top 5-6 pg. It'll be like of derozen tore his acl the next 3 seasons someone saying his deal was dumb

CONLEY HAS NEVER BEEN A TOP 5-6 PG IN THE NBA.

HAS DUDE EVEN BEEN AN ALL STAR
OR ALL NBA?



​

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

He was a top 5-6 pg.

When? Where?

He'd have been a great mid-2000s PG but with the amount of talent the position has now, he's nearly an afterthought.

Curry, Russ, Kyrie, CP3, Wall, Lowry, Dame shyt maybe even Kemba are >>

Not to mention IT's Boston days.

Nothing you said made sense

Learn what a cap hold is before you say this.

didn't i tell your stupid ass to stop quoting me before fact checking?

zach lavine's cap hold is 4.5 mil

wiggins cap hold was like 18-20 mil

foh

 

[Houston911]

ITS MINNY THOUGH...
THEY STILL WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SIGN THE TOP GUYS WITH THAT SPACE.

THE ONLY WAY THEY WERE GETTING A TOP 10 PLAYER
WAS THROUGH A TRADE JUST LIKE THEY DID.

THEY MAXED OUT WIGGS
AND WOULD HAVE MAXED OUT LAVINE.



​

maybe so, but im convinced @tremonthustler1 has a learning disability

boy is borderline retarded. his stupid ass still don't understand what a cap hold is

they max out wiggins and lavine after signing free agents.

the spurs did this when they signed lamarcus aldridge. they used kawhi's cap hold, then signed lamarcus, then signed kawhi afterwards.

So knowing that, that cuts into whatever cap space you think you have stupid

 

[Houston911]

So knowing that, that cuts into whatever cap space you think you have.

wiggins - 20 mil - cap hold
lavine - 4.5 mil - cap hold
towns - 6.2 mil
bjelica - 4 mil
shabazz muhammed - 1.6 mil
aaron brooks - 2.1 mil
tyus jones - 1.3 mil
marcus georges-hunt - 1.3 mil
kris dunn - 4.2 mil
markannen (or whoever they picked) - 4.5 mil
aldrich - 1.4 mil

that's 51 mil in salaries for 10 players if they trade rubio like they did, dump gieng like i mentioned, and stretch the last year of cole aldrich deal

where are you lost?

When healthy Mike conley is better the the last 3, hes the best defender at the position and sxores

 

[MikelArteta]

CONLEY HAS NEVER BEEN A TOP 5-6 PG IN THE NBA.

HAS DUDE EVEN BEEN AN ALL STAR
OR ALL NBA?



​

mike conley best season is 20 points 6 assists, dude has never avg more than 7 assists in a season
dude is not special at all
hes more in the 10-15 range

What is this suppose to mean?

 

[MikelArteta]

conley is just a more polished jeff teague

 

[Left.A1]

I am struggling to figure out the problem.

The crunch isnt because revenue slowed down but because GMs are idiots.

I could have told you giving 4 years and 60 million to Ian Mahinmi was a bad idea in 2016.

None of this shows me the players should have smoothed the cap.

If the players would’ve chosen to smooth the cap All that really means is that the the growth rate of the salary cap would’ve incrementally increased a little bit more than what it is right now so instead of it going up by a projected 2 million next summer it would’ve possibly gone up by six or seven or eight at the most ...it wouldn’t be like every ten gets 20 more million a year to spend or some shyt

...there’s always going to be a “money crunch” because most GMs will always spend money ...so it’s not really a huge difference overall in regards to the big money guys and players IN GENERAL are still going to get paid much higher per year than they would have 5 - 10 years ago ...but I guess it’s supposed to be like a typical fake outrage thread from people that probably don’t know what they’re actually speaking on

The idea of dumping a 4 year $64 mil deal is not rooted in reality and neither is your math

You're ultimate goal with this fictional cap space is to get a player of Butler's caliber. How do you get that player without trading for him?

Add them numbers up faccot

And stop quoting me
