Couldn't they fill out the roster with other guys and go over the cap to sign LeBron last?

Nope... Cap Hold...

There's a cap hold of $20mil on LeBron, only allows them to spend $43mil otherwise... Either they pay him, and the cap hold gets lifted, or they have to renounce their rights to him, and can't go over the cap to sign him.

pmatic pmatic beat me to it... I just had to explain it :{

I see nothing wrong with what Kidd is doing. Winning doesn't guarantee anything as seen by Mark Jackson.
 
Umm...what the hell is going on in Brooklyn?

RT @TimBontemps After denying Jason Kidd's demand to run bball ops, Nets give Bucks permission 2 speak to him

Source confirms the gist of @TimBontemps report: Nets have granted the Bucks permission to speak with Jason Kidd. Incredible.

Ken Berger is saying that even if kidd doesn't go to Milwaukee a source doubts he goes back to the nets

so random.

tried to pull a riley on the knicks or something similar

Kidd came into coaching a year too early.

He saw the money and security Kerr, Blatt, SVG, Fisher got and was like "****" might as well ask for more power.

Edit:

Some dude on RealGM posted this story Thursday. Now he's saying the Nets are contacting Mark Jackson. Link.

:eek

No, LeBron has a cap hold of $20M.

Would have to renounce him (thus losing his Bird Rights so that's a no go) or sign him.

No one will confirm this but I was told Kidd has been offered job as Bucks president.


:lol
 
Jason Kidd trolling. If Steve Kerr can't get 25m really can't be mad at him for trying to get paid. Mark Jackson proved winning games don't really matter
 
If I was Lebron' I'd stay in Miami, and the LAST thing I would do is take a paycut. Pay me the most possible, and let the rest fall where it may, and we'll try and get a ring. If no ring at the end of the year, oh well, I got 2, F you pay me
 
The NBA is a the WWF for those that grew out of wresting. it's crazy. a male soap opera :lol

"Business is about to pick up here!"
 
2 years.. Lowry would have to take a paycut to around $7mil. If LeBron wanted max.

Again if LeBron were to go to $17-18mil as people suggest, they (LA) could have Lowry too.. $4mil to add a bench player, and $5mil MLE.


It's really the same situation, with the exception that the Lakers would be able to completely transform the roster in 2 years, Heat couldn't for 5 if Bosh gets the 5 year deal he wants.



No I'm not saying he's going to LA. But there really isn't any difference in ability to contend LeBron max in Miami, LeBron max in LA. One would have much more flexibility in long term to contend for more than a couple years.

Yea there is. Its called the garbage *** eastern conference :lol
 
now that bosh and wade opted out...riley should go in a different direction with them off the books. **** loyalty. it wasnt like you played for them out of the goodness of your heart, they paid you chumps. Wasn't like you were doing volunteer work. It's just business, never personal. Go grab lowery and melo, grab some of those vets, couple 3 pt shooters for bron to swing to and call it a day.
 
Didnt bucks already hire a HC? or no

Yea they got Larry Drew. But the owner just transferred control to some big wigs so, Larry might be getting hit in the head. New owners are already prepared to drop 100+mill immediately towards a new arena.

That's what I would do.
And this is always why a player should take the Max instead of a paycut, because you can be done like this once you've served your purpose. Get paid while you can, win later

i mean it's there fault they opted out, so if it burns them, so be it. miami doesn't owe them ****. I can see Pat doing some snake ****. And/or offering them contracts for pennies on the dollar with that take it or leave it steeze
