Bouncing idea's 🏀: 2024 NBA Off-Season: Key Decisions and Developments

[CarltonJunior]

the main issue is years - on both parties here

players taking up a certain percentage of the cap to maintain the floor? cool.

if you're the bulls, why commit 5 years to that block of spending for a guy who's made essentially no progress. teams sign bloated 1+1 deals all the time to maintain the salary floor. typically for established guys on top of that.

if you're the player, 5 years basically says you're comfortable and you've no plans of ever betting on yourself. dude was a top 5 pick and he's running from his own money.

"But it's the going rate. This is the new normal. Y'all nikkas don't understand salary cap and TV deals."

Sixers like




Anything you want!! Anything you need!!

Nuggets keep losing their wing depth

18-20 mill per is the new avg for a below avg startern

As it stands $18 mil would make him the 87th highest paid player this season and after FA ends he might be outside the top 100. And that ranking will get lower and lower as the years go on (Assuming the salary is flat and not increasing by year)

Either way it’s puzzling to give him a 5 year deal. If I were them I would’ve waited for someone to give him an offer sheet or make him play on the QO. Signing up for 9 years of Patrick Williams is an interesting choice

im just saying, if you look at salaries like a % of the cap its whatever... the years make no sense for either of them

dude getting paid like he has no intention of ever having a breakout season, improving, or becoming key player to that org - ever. and the bulls keep confirming that they have no concept of a plan or what they actually want to do

but if you can lock up a guy happy to be the next nick collison, you gotta do it

Doesn’t work because there’s a max salary number so you have to pay certain players to reach the salary floor.

I know that’s why I said it’s dumb

It’s better for everyone if these players earned their money.

Bulls are such middle of the road Charlatans

Reinsdorf is terrible all they doin is running in place

Why would they sign him??

All I’m saying

Why would a league and owners want to make this type of commitment to players that do not matter

No way they would have started FA without a coach. Don’t hate it. Shouldn’t have been fired by Cavs.

Yes he should have but this is the perfect team for him, no expectations and can make them play hard
