2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

[CP1708]

The cap for next year is expected to be 62.1 mil.

The numbers still don't work out.

You're still right at 50 with Kobe/Melo/this year's pick.

The Heat pulled their 3 max guys

ALL of those guys were making $14 mil in year 1 of those deals. That would be a substantial paycut for a guy like Melo.

I'm reading all over the place, Cap could be 65ish in 2015.

Kevin Love's max deal will start at 16.7 in 2015.

They are already talking that Love will be the target in 15, unknown who the 2014 will be. It may not be Melo. So 22 may not be the max we're talkin about.

Point is, they believe the Laker plan is Max 2014, and Max in 2015 with Kobe in tow. Plus the 2014 First Rounder we hopefully don't screw up.

I'm reading ****, Heisler, Trudell, they are the ones sayin it. And they are pretty informed people, so unless you readin somethin else.....

Again, you're at 50 with Kobe's 25, Melo's 23 & this year's pick at 2 mil.

They are already talking that Love will be the target in 15, unknown who the 2014 will be. It may not be Melo. So 22 may not be the max we're talkin about.

If it isn't Melo, every other guy worth talking about is restricted & their offers can & most likely will be matched.

So which max are we talking about?

DBD

Are we going to get a @mjshoefanatic sighting as well?

Bring back MJShoe! Clippers Season Thread isn't the same without him. Guarantee he doesn't get instantly banned again.

 

[CP1708]

I don't know. Nobody does. I only know you keep throwing Melo and 23 million at me and then inflated the first round pick to 2 million. Quit spending our money.

What is Deng's money? Essential likes him, and we know Kobe likes him, the Bulls may not be bringing this same roster back next year, maybe they take a Deng type + another name, sort of splitting 1 max into 2 good pieces.


I'm not really on board with Melo, but Deng/Rudy Gay doesn't exactly excite me either.


I've read about Bledsoe and overloading his deal to prevent the Suns from keeping him, but that doesn't sound all that wise in terms of "max" money.

Just speculation I've read.

Lmaoooo lime green shirts this is hilarious

If we're talking Kevin Love, both the pick & Melo would be in year 2 of their deals & they'd be at 2 mil & 23 mil respectively. But I'll chill

What is Deng's money? Essential likes him, and we know Kobe likes him, the Bulls may not be bringing this same roster back next year, maybe they take a Deng type + another name, sort of splitting 1 max into 2 good pieces.

Agreed 100% with the bolded but I wasn't on board with picking MDA over Phil or giving Kobe almost $50 mil.

So who knows

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Anddd he's been banned again. Thank God..

Coming back talking about "getting off nutsacks" and all that...yeah...you're going to get banned again.

[herbshuttles15]

Nick Young also has a player option for next year

 

[durantula]

K love going to the rockets. Lakers, lol

 

[big j 33]

"but but he doesn't do anything wrong.."

 

[rck3sactown]

I pray this happens

 

[rck3sactown]

Timberwolves, I'm told, are in advanced discussions with Sacramento on a deal that would swap Derrick Williams for Luc Mbah A Moute

"He contributes so much....."


Niketalk gon run out of screen names for everybody else here in a minute cuz of that fool.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Non elite athlete without elite positional size, is it time to adjust that Kyrie Irving ceiling?

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

You guys are so sensitive...

Sensitivity has nothing to do with it, some dudes like yourself just try to be funny sometimes and you come off lame as hell.

The pot calling the kettle black

 

[JD617]

What happened to his shooting? After his rookie year I thought he was well on his way to becoming one of the league's elite shooters.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I don't think it has anything to do with kyries vitals, but more of his style of play. Every I see him play it's him versus the other team

 

[do work son]

Not trying to troll, serious question. What potential max contract player would want to come play with Kobe and roster fillers? Can't see melo or russy wanting to come to LA with bean on the roster.

Kyrie is an arenas hybrid, hes good barring injury

Important to note, they become FAs after this extension Kobe signed expires. Very likely Kobe will be retired by then.

Let's see, there was Pau.

Wait, you said potential max contract player. Ummm... there was CP3 for 5 minutes, but that wasn't really him wanting to, since it was a trade. You asked who would want to.

Ummm... there was Dwight, who lasted as long as CP3 did.

"No one" is an option to your question, right?
