I too failed this basic basketball vocabulary test, brother.

Could be that other people use the words differently. But slasher is always used to highlight the ability to create in the context of playing off the ball or off the catch, while handle refers to the ability within the context of playing on the ball.

That doesn't work anymore since the NBA retooled Bird Rights. Signing a player for 1 year doesn't give you any real advantage in retaining him the following year.

Good news for Warriors fans: Steph's injuries don't require offseason surgery. Bad news: This means he was psyched out more than injured, obviously. Worst player of all time! Bitch! Bogut also escapes surgery.

Free agent(s), meaning they want more than Batum back. Sounds iffy personally, since most of their good free agents are 30+ and one is Jeremy Lin who you really don't want to pay that much as a back-up when Kemba already makes his max.

Come on, it was like five.

Charlotte's going to be old as gently caress in a few years, but getting MKG back is essentially their big move of the offseason. They looked really good with him for the seven games he played last year, so hopefully they can keep pace/take a step forward.

Definitely Marvin Williams and Batum, probably Courtney Lee if they're dealing Lamb. Big Al might come back in a bench role/MLE type deal, he's been very vocal about wanting to retire in Charlotte. Lin can go chase stats in Philly.

Let go everyone who is a FA, trade Bogut away for anything, resign Iguodala to a slight bump on what his current salary is, give Durant the max, use your two exceptions to get some rotation players who are willing to take a small discount and then the rest on veteran minimum ring chasers. Plus you have your draft picks.

Sure your bench won't be especially awesome, but that is a heck of a starting five with Iggy off the bench. If you want you could keep Bogut as your big man and let Iggy go, but I think it's easier for them to pick a big man in the draft and add a couple of rotation guys to replace what Bogut gives them than it is to replace Iggy in their death line-up.

Yeah my bad, it would have to be the Room Level Exception and not the taxpayer exception like I assumed.

i mean their roster would definitely be a mash of an incredible starting line-up and a bunch of rookies and passed over vets, but maybe they think it's worth a shot. In the playoffs you only play 9 guys anyway. Well, Kerr doesn't but maybe he'd have to change.

A young rookie big man will never come close to giving them what Bogut does at the level he does.

And just checking the CBA FAQ now, but if you are over the cap because of cap holds I think you do get to use your exceptions.

Though I could be wrong because this poo poo is complicated.

e: Nope, I'm wrong and you were right the first time. Cap holds don't count for being over the cap when calculating if you are eligible for exceptions. Only RFAs and only if you've made a qualifying offer.

Getting rid of Iguodala means that their bench is going to be Livingston and a rotating cast of scrub lords. This team cannot afford to go all in on Kevin Durant, it just does not make sense. They are going to target a wing that is cheaper than Harrison Barnes (Bazemore), a young, affordable big (Hickson? I honestly have no idea) and then fill out the roster with vets at the minimum. They'll target some kind of shooting power forward (West or Dirk) and a ball handling guard (would not be surprised to see Barbosa back).

I would not be surprised at all if Iggy is a starter next year, and their bench is something like Bazemore/Livingston/West/Hickson
