2014 NBA Off-Season; Paul George suffers a double-compund-fracture, likely out for season. Speedy re

So if the Heat can only offer the MLE what was the point of all of them opting out?

I'm guessing to put pressure on the organization to stop being cheap.

so LEBRON can be the one getting the max, bosh second, wade taking the biggest paycut
i think the first time around bosh was the highest, but they were basically equal

Jimmy Butler
Maybe klay

Curious

Why can't @JJ Watt be repped??

I think he's worth 8-12 million. Good offensive big imo. Can pass, handle and score. Good 3rd option for any team.

 

[big j 33]

I hope people trolling and tricking reporters becomes a new trend.

 

[do work son]

if derrick favors got 4/47, i think monroe will easily get that 12/year

 

[addict4sneakers]

Talks begin 12:01 eastern?

 

[do work son]

[ballinsam23]

What do they plan on doing with Jennings?

Robin lopez and Wes might work for Monroe. Or Batum straight up with Deng/Ariza available.

they would be very stupid to move robin lopez. he's such a key piece. allows aldridge to play no defense, and just focus on offense. aldridge hates playing C.

It's just not going to be possible unless Wade in particular takes 10 mil, which I seriously doubt he will.


Bron- $22

Bosh- $16

Wade- $14

Cole- $2

Bazz- $2

Haslem- $2


= 58 million + 6 cap holds (500 k a piece)= $61 mil, leaving only 2 mil in cap space. Basically Wade would have to ask for more or they sign a few vet minimums (ie Ray Allen coming back) to even get them in the over the cap realm and open up all those other exceptions.



And I don't think Ariza and Gortat are taking the MLE when they'll have plenty of other suitors offering them maybe 10 mil a year deals.

Hmmm how much over the cap could they realistically go?

They wouldnt even have much cash left over especially to sign to anyone that can get them over the hump to get the chip from the West...which is why Bron is leaving but im sleep tho http://s1147.photobucket.com/user/FlyerThan_Delta/media/MuppetLOL_zpsab7adb22.png.html

Shouldn't the Blazers be pursuing a bench?

Why would they be seeking another starter?

I agree. They should be bolstering their bench instead of moving starters. They are literally small pieces away. Robin Lopez does he job perfectly.

 

[Ja's 2¢]

just realized ESPN must be foaming at the mouth, calling in favors, prepared to get on their knees, just so they can be the first to report where Bron ends up. 

 

maybe even going as far as "Chris B, B. Windhorst if you aint the first to break it, you're fired." 

 

[jbone2308]

After what we witnessed Wade do these finals after taking half the year and some of the early playoff round games off.......

Dudes still defending is straight delusional.

Lebron is probably secretly logged in agreeing with us!

 

[imlive365]

I've been waiting for you to show up son 

Did you miss me

 

[a-friend]

This is unlikely, but here me out; what if the Rockets' pitch to Melo is to sign with us, then we'll use Parsons, Lin and other assets (Jones, future picks, etc) to trade for Love.

Somehow they come out of the off-season with Dwight, Love, Melo and Harden. Like that's not totally crazy right?

If they get Melo though, they don't need Love. 

But if they did say this to Melo, he'd sign for free.

edit: not literally i was being facetious but he'd do that all day
