How convenient

 

[noneofyours25]

Victim of Yuku

My bad

 

[DownByLaw]

And with that, there went the Knicks hopes

 

[airmaxpenny1]

Just the fact of him being in a new, bigger market still can overcome that

 

[outacontrol music]

Think about it.

Kevin Garnett commands about 25 million in his salary. That's almost half the cap! Teams gonna have to actually build teams now rather than quick assemblewith "combinations of LeBron, Wade, Amare, Bosh and Joe Johnson"

 

[jordannb23]

Are NBA ticket prices and apparel going to go down?? I bet not ..The Salary issue is due to bad front office management more than anything..Way too many NBAbums making more than they should riding the bench..Ben Wallaces contract that the Bulls signed him to is the perfect example,,

 

[N41D]

So they'll only be able to sign LeBron rather than LeBron and Bosh...

fixed

And the Knicks just got their 23 million dollar salary cap tax bill also.

 

[RyGuy45]

Thank god perhaps this at least helps eliminate ONE stupid contract beginning that year.

 

[dade b0y]

Got damn, so this means the luxury tax is going be set at around like63-65ish million? They're going to be fringe playoff teams in danger of paying tax for the next few years, let alone contending caliber teams.

 

[viiheaven]

and I bet we still land LeBron.

 

[fede dpt]

Cavs fans are hilarious.

We'll see a thread..."David Stern lied about new salary cap."

at these cav fans jumping for joy.
we only have 18mil projected on our salary cap when 2010 free agency comes.
teams are going to let all their free agents and develop through those cheap rookie contracts...smh

 

[al3xis]

wonder why Zbo and Jamal were dealt when they were?

 

[duba169]

wait wait wait

how the **** did the salary cap only drop ONE million this year but this ****head stern projects that it's 8-10 mil in2010??

and lol at this whole article being written about the knicks.
You cavs fans are some funny people. Holding lebron hostage because he's the only thing that makes your city relevant.

 

[outacontrol music]

ain't nobody "holding LeBron hostage"

He plays in my city and I want and expect him to stay. Does that bother you are something?

That statement right there exemplifies the NYC entitlement attitude that fans around the world laugh at.

I didn't write the article.

 

[duba169]

you EXPECT him to stay in Cleveland. You feel like he owes you and Cleveland just because he was born there. He doesn't owe you squat.

but you wanna talk about knick fans feeling entitled? We don't get lebron whatever we have cap and I'll be fine with that. If you lose lebron your citywill never be heard of on espn again.

You sound like a possessive girlfriend.

@ LeTape.

 

[e3lal]

Just curious how it will effect signings next off season

 

[bhzmafia14]

If you lose lebron your city will never be heard of on espn again.

Then you will know how us Memphis fans feel.
