Sprinting to Training Camp: The Official 2018 NBA Offseason Thread

[ISO]

not sure what yogi ferrell is thinking going to sacramento. he'll have to compete w/ fox and mason at the PG spot and hield/bogdanovic/mclemore off the ball. Yes, the contract is worth more than the mavs deal, but in reality tthe change is minimal given the high California state taxes and high cost of living compared to having zero state income tax and much lower cost of living in texas. Not to mention being able to rejoin a team where you had a defined role and chemistry. Unless he somehow gets a chance to ball out in Sacramento, he fukked up his longer term money IMO.

EDIT: just calculated his taxes for a 3.1M per year average deal w/ Sac vs 2.65M per year on the Dal deal. If calculations are correct (using smartasset website), he will actually make LESS after-tax income on the Sac deal. ~ 1.64M after tax w/ Dal vs ~ 1.53 after tax w/ Sac, so definitely a dumb move to join Sac assuming he joined thinking that he was actually getting more money. His agent appears to be an idiot.

Can’t only blame the agent. Yogi himself has to know shyt like this

Dumb ass move but I guess he expects to be moved at some point anyway. Maybe he really didn’t like playing under Carslile

Warriors, Mo Salah agree to five-year, $260M maximum contract.

Get him on the team now.

 

[KnickstapeCity]

How can someone be so terrible. I know he’s spent his whole life training his feet, but how are you a grown man that can’t hit the rim in 2 layup attempts?

Still better than Melo.






@Mr. Jack Napier

Get him on the team now.

In that thread about what players go through in FA...one player was quoted saying his agent told a team they'd sign him for less if they signed his other client for more.

Maybe this is what happened. Who are his agent other clients

The whole reason they traded Dakari for Purvis was his deal was non-guaranteed so they could just cut him & save around $2m in taxes, so I got no clue what the point of this even is

I thought so to so making this move I bet they keep him. He is a good shooter.

Saw on twitter later that he's actually cheaper to keep around than if they signed somebody to a minimum deal & they got cash in the deal. Presti is just going to keep bringing in random cheap wings & praying one of them manages to be half decent

Denver will land a superstar one day

this to me is squarely on the agent. yogi can be aware of the gross numbers, but his agent needs to be the one to take into account taxes/cost of living, etc, and advise his client to make the best educated decision. Financial literacy is hard enough for the common person (I'm still learning alot in my late 30s) much less an athlete in his early to mid 20s making millions of dollars. now if this is was not a financial decison for yogi, that's one thing (for example not wanting to play for carlisle as you mentioned), but if he was just trying to get more money, then his agent didn't do due diligence. And again, from a basketball perspective, the move to Sac makes even less sense than the financial move considering the number of guys projected to be ahead of him on the depth chart.

How much longer before espn spins this?

1. D Rose is still a decent 1 on 1 defender, bad help tendencies but 1 on 1 he straight (aside from Harden ripping him apart last playoffs but he was they best option other than Yimmy)

2. If PG was 6’5 with long ass arms, there’d be no drop off in his style of play, those extra 5 inches do nothing for him (or at least he doesn’t use them )
