They'll reup longer and get their money over more years. It usually works out where they get more money than they would have. Less early, but get overpaid later. It's so they can still be on s competitive team. Making money and losing isn't all that fun. Haslem will be part of the organization when he retires. He's just a Heat guy through and through. Nothing underhanded, just respect for all he's given. Tim and So treatment, basically. PEACE.

You should want to make as much money as you can as fast as you can.

a dollar 4 years from now will be forth less than a dollar today.

It's guaranteed and he's said before he doesn't want to play as long as Kobe. Getting 42M guaranteed over 2 years isn't as good as 50-60 guaranteed over 4 years if you don't think you're going to play longer than that and you don't know if your body will let you recoup the difference over the following two years. It's about the sum of the remaining contracts. We don't know what he's being offered anyway. If it's 4/62M, that would be the same as a 2/20M over the last two years. You don't think he'd get that now, so you won't expect him to get it in 2016. Even with the inflation in salaries. PEACE.

Pau about to be Robert Horry 2.0.

 

[CreepingFear]

I know the Bulls aren't getting Melo or Lebron, but I just want this to end so I can have some closure and prepare for the McBuckets/Mirotic white boy club.

 

[darkside31337]

Wait what just heard about a rumor that sends Amare to Philly? WTF NO! I like the dude but his contract and health for this team? And possibly picking up Lin? For what?

Because teams will give draft picks if you take the contract.

Why would any Sixers fan object to taking Lin for one year? It actually gives you a reason to watch some games from otherwise the most unwatchable trash team in the league and you get a 1st round pick out of it.

Watching Lin is a privilege now?

When the alternative are the guys the 76ers have been trotting out, yes?

Lin takes a lot of shit but hes not that bad. If his contract wasn't structured the way it was teams wouldn't have any problem trading for him. I just wonder who will be the whipping boy this year for the Rockets and their fans.

From what I've seen in Summer League Noel is worth tuning in on his own.
Dude could be special if he can stay healthy.

What a garbage day, not a damn thing happened today. This is starting to get stupid. Is this a game of who blinks first.

Well, players can't officially sign till the 10th, so maybe some players are waiting till then to announce?

Only because we took McBobs. PEACE.

Honestly not sure why more high school kids don't commit to UNC. You're guaranteed a NBA contract if you're decent.

If we get him cheap I'm all for it. He wasn't #2 pick overall worthy, obviously, but he's a career 10/5 guy. Not bad at all.

 

[Fjordson]

Nerlens Noel looks really good. Has the paint locked down on defense and is jumping out of the gym when finishing on offense.

Rick Bonnell ‏@rick_bonnell 10m
Gordon Hayward has agreed to an offer sheet with the Charlotte Hornets, the Observer has learned.

Gordon Hayward will sign a major offer sheet with the Hornets.

[jbug617]

They gave him the max. 4yr/$63 million according to Woj

 

[Branduil]

And people wonder why the Least is trash every year.

Utah gonna match doe

These basketball team are so stupid.

yeah one of the Utah radio guys said the Jazz knew it was coming and they plan to match.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 2m
Charlotte offer sheet for Gordon Hayward expected to include player option on fourth year, and a trade kicker, league sources tell Yahoo.

Charlotte going all out to get him

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 26m
Jazz prepared for possibility of max sheet for Hayward and remain unwavering about revelation it's coming: They plan to match and keep him.

The lack of explanation in these tweets are funny. 10 minutes, later OH ITS AN OFFER, OLD TEAM CAN MATCH

 

[darkside31337]

Hayward is worth the max to Charlotte but not to Utah. They'd be crazy to match honestly.

 

[fertygo]

MJ trolling jazz lol

 

[rinse82]

So Wiggins signed with Adidas.

RIP in peace his ankles and knees.

We got this. Don't you worry about it. According to rumors (again, more of those) he's working on a s&t to come here

holy shit that trade for the Cavs is terrible.

unless of course - Lebron is coming home.

Well done, Ainge.

Ainge robbing people blind again.

It'll be funny when he doesn't.

 

[spyder_ur]

Wow that's a really great deal for the Celts. Curious what the protections on that pick are. I'm assuming it has to be the Cavs pick in 2016 since we have all the Nets'.

Haven't watched Zeller much - anyone have any thoughts?

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA · 3m
Boston gets: Marcus Thornton-Tyler Zeller, Cavs 2016 protected pick. Top 10 in '16, '17 or '18. Unprotected in '19.

.

 

[spyder_ur]

.

Thanks, that makes sense - I was hoping it was unprotected and that the Cavs simply didn't care because they were all in on LeBron.

Still, the Celts have at least 4 additional first rounders through 2018 (Doc trade, Nets trade), pretty great stuff.

And Thornton can be dealt at the deadline since he's expiring. Seeing almost no downside in this one.

 

[jbug617]

The Cavs can trade Wiggins for Love. The C's have a up hill battle for him

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Can never decide if Cavs GM is the most brilliant long term tactician in the world, or an inept Homer that keeps stumbling upon good fortune.

 

[LyleLanley]

I love this trade for the Celtics.

 

[Audible Phonetics]

Melo holding out to get LBJ in NY

#inphilwetrust.

Move that bargs and amare contracts.

 

[Bowser]

Don't mind the max offer for Hayward from the Hornets. He had his best seasons next to Big Al in Utah and we sorely need a playmaking guard/forward. Utah's gonna match anyway though so whatever.

Seems like the only signings the Hornets are gonna end up making this offseason are a stopgap starter at 4 to mentor Zeller/Vonleh (Marvin Williams most likely) and a veteran backup PG (Brian Roberts).

Oh well.

 

[Sanjuro]

I love this trade for the Celtics.

...why?
