The NBA is too big of a business with too few superstars to have an uncapped system
2014 NBA Off-Season; Paul George suffers a double-compund-fracture, likely out for season. Speedy re

What are you basing your "would happen anyway" verdict off of?

^ Going off of their Melo offer, they'll probably throw down a few hundred for him.

Jordan's previous salaries were so small because the contract he signed in 88 was too long. If he signed shorter contracts that would let him opt out early he would've commanded more 30 mil years. When his 88 contract ran out, that's when the Bulls started paying him the 30 mil a yr

With Mirotic it means 1 of 2 things.
1. They don't like their chances for Melo (They shouldn't offering him 4 year / $65mil (supposed) compared to 4/$95 & 5yr/$129 by Lakers & Knicks, respectively.)
2. They think they can get Melo in a S&T. If I'm Phil, and know Melo only gets there through sign & trade, I hold all the cards. If you want my guy, and basically make me take Carlos Boozer to remain a tax team... I'm taking every single one of your young assets (Taj, Jimmy Butler, future picks). If you decline, you don't get Melo, and I saved a franchise tens of millions by not being a tax team.

True story, Taj Gibson is only a year younger than Melo.

True. But Young Asset nonetheless. Simply by not being in league since 2003.

Yeah I know, it's just funny when people think of him as "young".

Knicks won't do a sign and trade. No reason to. They're helping a team that can't offer enough.

I think Pau would be a good fit in Miami.
I also wouldn't mind seeing LeBron in a Suns jersey,
