Masaiah Give us a Miracle!! - Official Raptors 2019 Offseason thread

[Miggs]

You think he has that inside info?

Gasol didnt opt in without knowing shyt breaugham....Dont believe Broussard and WOJ they literally dont know shyt

He signed a sponsorship deal with Virmani...you think that was done if he goes to LA...

 

[thatrapsfan]

Kind of good news I guess? Supposedly if Leonard was leaving he wasn’t going to opt in

Is that supposed? A lot of people were reporting his decision would be contingent on whether team is a contender next year. He could’ve got term elsewhere for sure after this season.

We bringing it back breh.

I agree no way he opts in unless he has a strong belief Kawhi stays. We gonna be making them mad in a week or so.

gasol would have easily got 3 years like 45-50 million dollars, wily championship vet big who can run a offense and defend.

Only guy I may not see coming back is danny green but if kawhi wants him back management will pay the lux

 

[MikelArteta]

Just imagine how much better we will be next year brehs if everyone comes back

won 58 games with leonrd missing 22 and lowry 16, anunoby was never in shape and had a down year. First year pascal got the heavy minutes and he improved every single month, gasol wasn't with us the full year just imagine a full offseason of practice etc., nurse was a rookie coach and made rookie mistakes just imagine now.

From the horse’s mouth.

 

[MikelArteta]

From the horse’s mouth.

yep if there was not a strong indication gasol would just have gone through free agency. Al Horford opted out of 30 mill, gasol would have got term and money if he did

The cost to bring back Danny Green is insane. I'm sure they can afford the $265 million tax bill next year, but goddamn. $77 mil in tax just to bring back Danny Green.

From Toronto Raptors could be the most expensive team in NBA history

The $1,618,486 minimum is the cost of a free-agent with two years experience in the NBA. If a one-year contract is signed with a player with more than two years experience, the NBA subsidizes the cost beyond that amount.

Assuming the Raptors bring back their core unit, they’re projected cap figure looks to be a minimum of $165,107,455, and that’s without having a 15th player on the roster. — A very likely scenario with a tax-bill of this size.

Next year’s tax line is estimated to be at $132 million, leaving the Raptors approximately $33 million over the tax. No team has ever been that high over the line, and if the Raptors don’t find a way to cut salary, they’re looking at a tax bill of nearly $100 million ($99,760,411 if you like precision).

That means, when you combine their actual salaries and tax payments, the Raptors will be paying approximately $265 million to keep the band together, about $103 million more than last season and the highest in league history.

The reason for the dramatic increase is the escalating cost of the luxury tax. If the Raptors just cut Danny Green’s contract from the payroll, their overall bill drops to $188 million. In a sense, Toronto will be paying $77 million for Danny freaking Green. — You could do this for any of Toronto’s expensive players under contract as well (Remove Serge Ibaka from the equation and MLSE saves more than $100 million).

Man if they actually filmed multiple endings for Open Gym July 1st championship episode, and he announces it on there

Danny Green is gone unless kawhi makes it a condition.

or they move somebody else.

 

[MikelArteta]

or they move somebody else.

Ibaka would be the ideal player to move
20 mill for a backup is insane. But Does anyone trust a 34 year old gasol?

Its only one year just jack up tickets and pay the luxury tax
