Other than including Carroll, Diop, Williams or Thomas in any move, there is not much wiggle room. If we can use them, I say we call it a day.

Storytellers doesn't include Sessions' 5 million. Check Hoopshype's math.

I didn't include Taylor, so most likely we're below 1 million til the cap.

If this is the scenario, let me be the first to say: welcome back Corey Higgins.

That's so much money. So, so, so much money for Gordon. How dumb were the Pistons in that offseason? Joe Dumars....for cryin out loud. ShamSports used to be my go-to for Salaries, but I think he's so far up the Canadians' asses up at BDL he can't hardly deal with that.

Why would Sham be up Canadians' asses (BDL?)? He is a Brit, but a HUGE Bulls' fan.

He was using someone else to do the day-to-day- stuff (last time I talked to them I was trying to find out if Tyrus' contract had been front loaded...it hadn't) and he seems pretty good. It's blocked here at work tho so I have to rely on the less credible such as Hoopshype.

[BIGCatBobcat]

I thought he was the one that'd join them on the podcasts. Ball don't lie? JE Skeets etc? Maybe that was an austrailian? I don't know.

Updated to add Jeff Taylor who is apparently on a sweet deal for us:

575,000/788,872/915,243/1,144,054

They're showing the exact same total we are.

Will somebody please take Diop off our hands so we can sign Landry already ;)

Check this out:


The Warriors have reached an agreement with Draymond Green on a three-year, $2.6 million agreement.
Golden State holds the option on the third season with $250,000 of the $900,000 guaranteed.
Green was the 35th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.


According to Pincus at Hoopsworld the numbers for Taylor (31st pick) are a guaranteed 2 yrs at 1,363,872 and 2.28 per for 3 years with the last being a team option. We also have a 4th year QO.

I think the 2nd round is pure negotiated salaries right? No scale like the 1st round.

A very good salary from our POV if Pincus is right.

Edit:

Sham's showing Taylor's numbers now so I think they're probably good.

More guaranteed money, less overall. Sounds about right.

Looks like Green got the "earn it and you'll get it money" and Viking got "we really like you" money

I'm not following you. It seems to me the 35th pick got more guaranteed money (1.7 + 250k vs. 1.36) with a lesser hook to the low as hell 1st contract. Taylor did get the 4th option year, but after 3 years the team owns the players' full Bird Rights anyway. Overall between the 2 deals IMO Taylor's is better for the team.

Viking? Cuz he's from Sveeden?

[SWedd523]

You're right, I read it wrong that he had 900k guaranteed and 250k of it was in the third year.

With 8 and ten milion dollar contracts becoming a thing of the past . Our cap flexability is looking better and better . In addition Luxery Tax hell starts big time next year . Being one of only a few teams able to hit the free agent market hard next season . We could land a max player and a very very good number two option .
With only Dallas ,Atlanta and one or two more in teams in compitition. It looks like a really good year to get our hands wet. DJ signed a one year for 3.5 mill, Felton signed 4 years for 12 milion , Landry signed two years for 8 mil . The middle market is getting crushed . And folks we will have cap to steal a few good players .

With all thease guys on the market look at all the options . Cho has us in damn good shape;'.

Updated to take out the Bi-annual exception. I have no idea how I missed that and included it in our options.


ROOM MID-LEVEL EXCEPTION -- This exception is available only to teams that drop far enough below the cap to use cap room, and lose their Bi-Annual, Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level and Taxpayer Mid-Level exceptions

Try all you want, you will never stop me from proposing illegal trades or absurd FA signings.
