Lakers OFF-SEASON IS A WRAP

[pmatic]

The Lakers get a big fat F in free agency if they don't get AT LEAST a combo of Robin Lopez/Tyson Chandler and Danny Green/Al Farouq Aminu by the end of it.

Please get rid of Young, Kelly and Sacre Mitch!!!!

Smh
Max and Marcellus over here talking about stretching Kobe for the past one hour

Guess they have no clue about the CBA

Lol im listening to these fools now but on the real why can't they stretch Kobe my G?

 

[Lizakers]

Maybe DJ and LMA take one year deals below the max to play together, then get compensated next summer with the higher cap

I read we can have 31 mill this summer if we move some pieces

[h4]61. Can existing contracts be renegotiated?[/h4]
A contract for four or more seasons can be renegotiated after the third anniversary of its signing, extension, or previous renegotiation (if the previous negotiation increased any season's salary by more than 4.5%). Contracts for fewer than four seasons cannot be renegotiated. A contract cannot be renegotiated between March 1 and June 30 of any year. 

Only teams under the cap can renegotiate a contract, and the salary in the then-current season can be increased only to the extent that the team has room under the cap (and cannot increase the player's salary beyond the maximum salary). A renegotiation can only be used to provide a salary increase -- players can't take a "pay cut" in order to create more cap room for the team.

If the player agrees to waive a portion of his trade bonus in order to facilitate a trade (see question number 99), his contract may not be renegotiated for six months following the trade.

Every category of compensation (base salary, likely bonuses, and unlikely bonuses) that are increased in the renegotiated season must also increase in all subsequent seasons of the contract. Raises (and decreases) in subsequent seasons are limited to 7.5% of the salary in the first renegotiated season.

A renegotiated contract can be extended simultaneously (see question number 60). If a player's contract is extended and renegotiated simultaneously in this manner, his salary may not decrease by more than 40% from the last season before the extension (after it is renegotiated) to the first season of the extension. For example, if the salary in the last season of a contract is renegotiated to $10 million and the contract is simultaneously extended, the salary in the first season of the extension cannot be less than $6 million.

Other rules for renegotiations:

• A signing bonus cannot accompany a renegotiation unless the contract is extended simultaneously (see question number 60).
• A rookie scale contract (see question number 49) cannot be renegotiated.
• A contract cannot be renegotiated in conjunction with a trade.

Can the Lakers snag LaMarcus Aldridge AND DeAndre Jordan?

[...So]

 

[moonman818]

Kobe should take one for the team and take a pay cut, cmon

What makes you think he's not gonna take a pay cut?

Because it's against league rules?

Obviously.....

To much to read lol can anybody break it down for me im confused how were they able to stretch Nash but not Kobe?

 

[pmatic]

They didn't stretch Nash, they waived him.

 

[comptonprince]

They didn't stretch Nash, they waived him.

I know that, but didnt they have the option to stretch him before he retired?

 

[pmatic]

Can only stretch between July 1 and September.

 

[slipac2]

I know that, but didnt they have the option to stretch him before he retired?

You can only stretch him if you are in essence waiving him. If we do that kobe won't be a laker anymore

 

[comptonprince]

Can only stretch between July 1 and September.

Ok again didn't they have the option to stretch Nash before he retired from July-September?

 

[delete1234]

Nick young will not be traded

 

[biiggtone]

Gotta feeling we are gonna strike Out.. Or maybe im just real Nervous.. Expecting the worse, praying for the Best..

 

[comptonprince]

I know that I think my questions from what other posts are saying is why under the CBA can't they stretch Kobe this year when from what I kept hearing they could have done so to Nash last year...

 

[Lizakers]

Maybe that was because of his injuries that they had that option

 

[comptonprince]

Maybe that was because of his injuries that they had that option

Well Kobe has had how many season ending injuries since 2012?

 

[slipac2]

Maybe that was because of his injuries that they had that option

Yes that is the other reason they could do it. Nash still got his money but it didn't affect the cap fully.

I still have no idea how LaMarcus Aldridge max is $18.8mil

Eric Pincus ‏@EricPincus 2h2 hours ago
If Aldridge too max of about $18.8 mil - Lakers traded or cut everyone but Kobe, Clarkson, Russell and Nance - $13.5 mil in space

@CP1708 it's actually bothering me now

Just ask Eric Pincus, he said that's not how maximums are calculated.. Don't care, but an extra $1.2mil... I'll take it
