It's Hollinger JA and I think the $8.5mm figure is as of right now without any of those moves. He goes into the rest of their moves to increase the cap space in the next paragraph.

That's what I was getting at. The numbers don't make sense BEFORE the moves we can make. We're at about 14 without any moves right now.

Chris Vernon: "YOU WOULD HATE, YOU WOULD HATE, If you love the Grizzlies, you would hate Perry Jones III. Those are the players I absolutely detest. Everything about him is right, wingspan, jumping ability, but he has no heart! No interest in being what he could be!"

We already have Rudy for that

Verno keeps it real

Assuming the cap next year is 59 million, and we pick up all our team options, we got about 14 in cap space.

Dont pick up VC, thats 16 million. Let Wright go, 17 million.

Trade Jones or Roddy, plenty of room. No need to waste our amnesty yet.

Finally ready to admit that Roddy sucks and stop calling a guy whose career high is barely 8ppg "Buckets?"

 

[thasoleful1]

LO is backing up the guy he shoved couple years back

 

[japanair21]

Roddy doesn't suck, he's just undeserving of the hype.

He's like JJ. He will never shine as a primary option, but when he's whose a 3rd or 4th option on offense.

He's been the best athlete on the team since his rookie year, and he just hasn't gotten a rhythm after breaking his life.

He's not worth any kind of money, but if the Mavs wante to shed his salary, it'd be extremely easy.

 

[scientific method]

Ok guess not. I'll ask you again next yr.

With the deadline of his expiring deal rapidly approaching, Scott Brooks and the Thunder are finally closing the gap on a new contract.

Marc Stein of ESPN.com reports the Thunder and Brooks are “getting close

 

[japanair21]

What the hell do you want from me? I told you he's not worth the hype. Jesus Christ you're never satisfied.

Steve Nash will sign with the Raptors on July 1st, which is Canada Day (Canada's version of Independence Day)
It will be great for marketing and will sell a lot of season tickets.
Ban me if I'm wrong.

 

[japanair21]

July 1st is Canada's Independence Day?

Well, damn.

I can't think of a better way for dude to go out.

 

[memphisboi55]

Bye Mayo.

Will not be missed in Memphis by me.

Was some fun times though... more bad than good though.

.....stop that. let's be realistic here, your owner sabotaged your team by not spending whatever it took to keep the 2 X factors that allowed you to get a championship in the first place.

Garnett re-signs for three years, $34 million.

 

[shuges]

The funniest thing to me is how no one ever seems to be happy with the moves their franchise makes. Well at least when it comes the Bulls, Knicks, and Lakers. Anyone read through their season threads after draft night?

And Turiaf will not be missed by Miami. Clears more salary for them to bring in a real contributor.

The real question is, can they coach up Fab and Sully. Those big men are pivotal in order for KG to get proper rest.

 

[shuges]

I'm not surprised KG returned. Not at all. But I AM a little surprised at the length.

Damn, how could they not bring Ray Ray back now?

he doesnt want to be back.

would you want to go back to a team thats tried to trade you the last 2-3 seasons?

 

[airjordan jb23]

Can't blame Ray not wanting to come back... He's better off in Miami anyway.

 

[shuges]

My bad. I thought the C's tried to low ball him and THAT was why he didn't want to go back. That was why I asked the question like that.

 

[pmatic]

Surprised Garnett would sign up for three years. I suppose he could walk away before that though.

34mil. garnett stays getting paid. he deserves it but damn...

 

[kevin cleveland]

That would put his career earnings up to $325 million and change from basketball contracts alone.
