All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.
So to clear up some cap confusion.

The biggest max a player can sign for is 35% + Raises. There are two ways of getting that: Your drafted/rookie traded team gives it to you if you qualify OR you have 10 years in the league. Millsap has 10 years in the league already so any team can give him that contract. A team with bird rights can give him larger year-to-year raises, so that is Millsap's motivation to resign with whatever team he ends 2017 with.

That comes out to a max of 5 year/$193 million for a Bird Rights team. A non-bird team would "only" be about 10 million less though.

His Bird Rights team Atlanta can also offer a no-trade clause.

edit: Wrong info on no-trade.

All of the "crash into a guy food goes flying" or "shove an opposing fans face in a cake" or "opposing fan is made to look foolish" stuff is all intentional and rehearsed.

Still awesome though.

Did they change no-trades? Under the old rules, you need four years with a team to get the no-trade, on top of being in the league for eight years. So only Utah or Atlanta could offer him that under those rules.

I thought it was 4 years under the same contract but I think you are right. Disregard that muddying of the waters.

Dunleavy about to make his first meaningful contribution to the Warriors franchise (besides getting traded).

Korver is treading water above me. I drop the boulder below his feet and surface. Struggling for air, I try to ignore the spasms in my hamstrings and the giggling of girls on a nearby boat. It looks nice over there, with the beer and the snacks and the lounging.

Unless you were speculating about the Rockets firing McHale in the summer after they went to the conference finals, you were talking about the Nuggets.

I've thought that Dunleavy was one of the worst players in the league for like ten years now but he keeps sticking around. Even with that said, if someone gives the Lakers a decent 2nd rounder I wouldn't be mad if they grab him.
