2015 NBA Off-Season Thread

Local guys are saying the Cavs are expecting to have a "historic luxury tax payment", meaning a payroll well over $100 million. 

 

[Pugz]

they should not bring back jr unless it's for the same contract. giving him more money is not smart

 

[cruzg24]

David Lee is going to find suitors for his services. Someone like the Celtics perhaps?

and his $14M contract? expiring or not, thats a lot of cash.

 

[cruzg24]

Thats my main point its expiring and Lee is an ok player who I can see averaging 15-8.

 

[Pugz]

thats a lot of money to give up for him though. if anytjing, he'll get dealt after the big names signed.

Unless we get a pick out of it, I doubt it.

yea and they arent in the market to deal picks. another reason why it's gonna be hard to deal him, they have nothing to sweeten a deal

I mean, yeah.
 
 
Excluding the RFAs, if the Cavs don't cut anyone and the player options are accepted, they are at $88M. And then add in Tristian and Shump's new contracts too, and you're def over $100M

 

[elcheato]

I said well over, as in they're planning on turning Haywood's non guaranteed $12 million into more players

Why aren't they? The have all their picks, unlike the New York based teams
 
 
I can understand them not wanting to move a 1st to the Celtics for us to take on Lee's contract (which if when we don't get Aldridge in FA, we'll have cap space for an offensive big, so this would make sense from a Danny Ainge perspective). But if they are fine with moving a pick, he's basically wearing green. I can't imagine any team other than Boston doing this, since his expiring contract means nothing with the cap jump.

I know that. But $12M = $12M. Those players salaries will equal $12M, which is why I didn't include it

seriously horrible
And the logo. Wow

I think balmer did it on his own
Looks incredibly amateurish

Just pathetic for a pro franchise

Independent leagues and high schools have better looks smh

 

[Mexi]

Yo denvers really gonna trade ty lawson for the 6th pick tho

 

[Mexi]

Im pissed and im not even a clipper fan

Horrible

Pelicans are looking to get Melvin Hunt to join Gentry's staff, would be another huge get.

Gentry and Hunt building a dominant offense, this team will run its ass off. Pack getting the most out of the wings, and Erman getting the defense right.

 

[buzzy]

get Mike Hunt

 

[CameronCrazy06]

get Mike Hunt

 
I heard York Hunt is stinky
