If we were going to do that, we shoulda done that while there better FAs available. I do want that expiring contract, Otto is our highest paid player this year, f that.

To me, he's not $27 million good, so damned if you do, damned if you dont. What do have like the 5th highest payroll and got knocked in first round?

Going Commando Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 To be clear, you suggest giving away one of the best 3 and D wings in the NBA for nothing and it wouldn't give us cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don’t understand the concept of being able to go over the cap for players you drafted and own the bird rights to, and not being able to overpay for free agents.

If you explain how Melo''s contract expiring next year winter get us cap space, I'll listen. Not sure I'd support a straight up trade, we keep talking about cap hell, what do you do? 10 minutes ago, Skin'emAlive said: People don’t understand the concept of being able to go over the cap for players you drafted and own the bird rights to, and not being able to overpay for free agents. Yes, the NBA salary cap wiki page has been tough for me, it's stupid complex, I basically depend on yall to translate. Everytime I think I get it, I apparently dont.

The only way you get cap space from dumping Otto's salary next season is if you let Keef, Sato, and Oubre walk too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that related to the bird rights, so even after next season is over and Melo''s contract expires in 2019 we'll still save no money with neither Melo or Otto''s contract on the books?

It's their cap holds. To get the cap space, you'd have to release their holds and then you wouldn't be able to use exceptions like Bird Rights to sign them back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) Dumb. This is why bad teams exist. Good teams fight for titles and the rest are in a competition for who can out-stupid the others. This type of stuff is still happening with a hard cap.

Warhead36 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 You have to be cash efficient in the NBA. In the NFL you can afford to sign B players to A type deals because you can structure them in a way to get out after 3 years or so. Not in the NBA. If you're not ready to win a title, you're better off not spending anything and waiting patiently for someone legit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
