Going Commando Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 2 hours ago, Destino said: Cap goes up but max deals are set numbers that don't adjust. Let's say the cap in two years is much higher, if traded Ottos deal would pay him as much as 15% more of the remaining value (not including the 4th year) without exceeding the new max contract number. Cap won't go up anywhere near 15% though. 7% is very optimistic. Most projections have been below 4 and some even have the cap going down. I think the cap might have flattened and that the NBA experienced a bubble. And I think the slow death of the current cable TV model is going to have a major impact on NBA revenues unless they can change the paradigm of how their sport is watched. Andrew Sharp (didn't realize he was working for SI now) stated in an article this morning that the 15% kicker is a nonfactor that would come into play only if Otto opted into his fourth year (and thus was eligible for a 30% max as a seven year vet). So the only thing that really sucks about Otto's contract is the player option. But someone on RealGM also pointed out that if the cap does go down, then a shorter deal is more advantageous to us. There will be like three teams with max room by Otto's UFA summer, his market will be dry and he might even have to take a pay cut. Still feels way too much like the Gordon Hayward and Kevin Love situations for me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozo the kKklown Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Bogdanovic's rights were officially renounced. Now he a UFA. A bad trade at the time because you dont trade first rounders for bench players, just became the worst trade in the NBA in 2017, and Ernie's worst trade imo. We got nothing for him.

Just wow... yup, he just signed a 2 year deal with the Pacers. If we strike out next summer, Wall is gone. And he should be. He should not waste his prime years playing under the Grunfeld regime.

The Nets NEED salary. There was no reason to give up a first round pick to them to offload Nicholson. The Nets need the salary to be at the salary floor.

We gambled the 22nd pick for Boj to light it up off the bench and spark a run to the ECF. Almost worked.

Giving up a first round pick was not necessary but Ernie does what Ernie does. Edited July 7, 2017 by BenningRoadSkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Crazy little nugget I just saw... Since the Celtics just traded Bradley, John Wall is the only player from the first round of the 2010 draft that is still playing for the team that drafted him. Hopefully that stat stays true for quite some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 If he does leave, I won't even trip. City barely showed him any love, and more importantly, the FO screwed him over time and time again. It'll suck, but I can't blame him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I think its more likely he leaves than stays at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins199021 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I think it depends on if we can get Cousins. Cousins makes us instant championship contender and is buds with John wall.... two birds one stone Mahinmi/Gortat/Morris would have to be dealt (all doable). If Ted is willing to pay the luxury tax for a 4-5 year window, we would have a very good shot at getting a championship in that time frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
