2015-2016 NBA Regular Season - MDA to HOU - All-NBA - Harden snubbed - Anthony Davis is broke

[Vincent Van Goat]

Draymond had three seasons under his belt. Gilbert Arenas provision is for players with 2

Ah, nice catch. That provision screws the player though

Clarkson would be able to command more than that on the market

 

[freeze]

AD just needs his teammates back, that's all. Lol

so..he needs more haaaaaalp? lol


westbrook needs more help too. lol. russ and dj can't do it alone.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Ricky Rubio

Someone kill Clarkson's agent. Lol. I knew it was funny that he was already up for a new contract. Agent shouldn't have let him sign a 2 yr..

 

[pmatic]

I just read this though. So you're telling me the highest Clarkson can get paid is 57 million? This can't be true can it

Because of a quirk in the rules, often referred to as the "Gilbert Arenas provision," other franchises are limited to signing Clarkson as a restricted free agent to a four-year offer sheet as high as $57 million. The limitation on what other teams can offer Clarkson decidedly puts the Lakers in the driver's seat, should re-signing him at a high dollar amount become the priority.

Yes. This has be posted a couple of times already.

Other teams can only offer up to $57M. However, he and the Lakers can agree to a max contract, which will be more than $57M.

Agent should have asked for a three year deal. But that wasn't likely considering Clarkson was drafted lower and had to play his way on the team. Even though Draymond was also a 2nd round pick...he was considered a steal and likely apart of gilolden state's future. The lakers sort of lucked into Clarkson.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Welp. Guess we won't be freeing Jordan Clarkson anytime soon

It's easier for defenses to focus on a single offensive threat if it's a big man.

 

[jjs07]

for discussion's sake, did Byron stunt Clarkson?

He's looking like the only real NBA player at the moment. Him being from San Antonio and watching the Spurs as a youth has help him play the right way.

He did sign a 2 year deal. This is year 2.

 

[phar0]

AD looking washed bros. he got that contract and turned into joe johnson

They should start Perkins instead

 

[pmatic]

I feel like the contract situation hurts both Clarkson and the Lakers. I've *****ed enough times about it in the Lakers thread.

Edit:

FYI: Teams can only sign second round picks to three or four year contracts if they are under the cap. The Lakers could have done this, but they used the cap space instead to claim Boozer last summer. Hence, why Clarkson got a two year contract.

Thankfully the Lakers seem to have learned from their mistake last summer because they signed Anthony Brown to a three year contract over the summer.

I meant they shouldn't* have let him sign a 2 yr. If he had just signed a 3 yr which is usually customary he wouldn't be hampered by that Gilbert provision.

The Clipper game should be a lot of fun tonight. Might wear my DeAndre shirt to the game.

Speaking of Boozer, I'd take him on the Wizards over Nene.

Wish there was more front court depth so they could DNP-CD his ***. He's such a waste.

Will the Lakers offer him more than 57M? That would be interesting

Have we seen history of this before?

 

[datznasty]

The 911 calls about John Henson's experience with the jewelry store have been released. This is ridiculous all around

Patty was EXTRA scared, could have costed them their lives too claiming definitively they were te same "suspects" who showed up last week around closing and had stolen plates

 

[Platinum State]

Anyone know why Bobby Portis didnt play in the first two games?

 

[lil bushroot]

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I've seen this movie before. People are going to hate on Russell all year long and then when he finally becomes a player they'll act like they saw it coming.

This. Dudes will switch their stance and act like they never said that

 

[don ramon]

[Vincent Van Goat]

Bogut suffered a concussion. Looks like he'll be out next game at least
