If the NBA Cap is $58M, how can u realistically stay under it?

[beenz]

You do know about generally accepted accounting principles right? You can make a profit look like a loss by using depreciation. It's an illusion and trick all companies use and the american tax laws uphold. Teams can deduct roster expenses two ways. shyt like loss of player contracts and player salaries.they can say shyt like Lebron is a year older, therefore he's worth less than what we originally signed him for. So let's come up with some imaginary number we believe he's costing us. The tax laws are deep. you can damn near make them say anything. Remember profit is Revenue -Expenses. And expenses can be massaged.

Thank you. This was the exact point I was Tryig to get at in my previous post. If u think that many teams are losing money in the nba, ur an idiot. And if this were true, there'd be a lot more owners putting their team up for sale than just The former hornets owner.

Where's the proof on that?

The union's admission. They just disputed how much was lost and by who, but they didn't dispute the fact that the league lost money.

some folks will accept that lux tax, but contracts overall prices will come down. it'll hurt those second and third tier guys the most, as they'll have to accept what's left after the stars have been paid top dollar.

the interesting thing that will happen if someone is smart enough to avoid locking in to long high contracts over the next 2-3 years, there will be a free agent class with a lot of quality that will be able to be had for relatively cheap. you could easily get a team with memphis or indy's talent level and be in great cap shape, and if you luck up in that time and draft a legit star, that'll be some NFL type turn around shyt.

Hibbert just got a max deal.
Jeff Green got 4 years/$36 mil and he didn't even play last year.
Ryan Anderson got 4 years/$36 mil.
Landry Fields got 4 years/$34 mil.
Batum got 4 years/$50 mil.
Eric Gordon got a max deal.

I don't see anybody getting hurt at the negotiating table.

Besides Gordon, I see a bunch of avg players getting large contracts. That don't bother me, but I fail to see how this will work I. The long run given the constraints of the NBA cap as currently cOnstructed.

Source close to process says Portland & Charlotte have indeed told Brook Lopez they're ready to sign him today to four-year max offer sheet

It's always been like that, hence, teams always trying to unload their garbage ass contracts every trade deadline/offseason.

We just had a bullshyt lockout over these very contracts and teams are still giving them out. It's not gonna change.

@ a center that pulls less boards than eddy curry getting a max deal. Portland is showing their thirst this off season.
