No wait, it looks like the Spurs have $96M in guarantees for next year and apparently the cap is going to be like $102M. That figure includes Parker's $15M and Pau's $16M but nothing for Manu. I could see Pau opting out and re-signing for less to be able to play with Paul though. comedy option: spurs dump aldridge on doc.

Yeah it's probably just posturing for LAC but if Tony retires, Manu retires or takes a sweetheart deal, and Pau opts out to take one too, they can clear a max for Paul. Or maybe CP3 takes a paycut if we're assuming guys are giving up piles of money for a shot at a ring.

good, good. finally the rockets will be able to get past the second round. real talk though that would be an upsettingly good team with chris paul doing p&rs with kawhi. and pop's aggressive rest is probably what cp3 needs at this point.

I think Melo has shown that he prioritizes money over winning or even just not having a horrible organization that's doing game of thrones poo poo with him in the media

chunkles posted:I think Melo has shown that he prioritizes money over winning or even just not having a horrible organization that's doing game of thrones poo poo with him in the media I mean. Most people would prioritize loving ~50 million dollars. His free agency year IIRC there were so few teams with the actual money to give him, that were actual contenders. The Bulls couldn't afford the 4 year max so he would have had to turn down a whole hell of alot of money to sign here. No other team wooing him was worth a drat. For me to turn down 50 milldo I would have to guarantee I'm going to a squad with a good organization, and team that will almost assuredly win a ring.

Frustrated posted:He just negotiated the new collective bargaining agreement as head of the players association so he could get more money... I don't think he's taking less than the max. Most of what he negotiated didn't apply to him though. The Designated Player Exception doesn't apply to guys with 10+ years, and the other big changes were higher rookie and MLE scales. The only thing that applies to Paul is the over-36 rule so he can get offered a 5-year deal, which he can still do even if he doesn't take the max. I dunno, I think he still takes the money but I don't like when people act like he manipulated the CBA to his benefit. The only rule he changed was one that said "You are not allowed to pay 36 year olds as if they are good players" which is a pretty dumb rule.

Yeah. Cp3 has never said he put that in for him . The rule was anti labor and only served to protect owners.

I of course also think Paul almost certainly takes the money, but he has a reputation of caring a lot about winning and legacy and I think the CP3/Jordan/Griffin Clippers are stuck where they are and probably not going to be able to make the Finals for the length of CP3's next contract barring a big swing in injury luck for them and against the Warriors/Spurs/Rockets. I just think that if there was an elite player that might consider it if the situation presented itself it's CP3, and the Clippers right now are the biggest example of a team capping out but still being stuck just below the top tier.

Weltman is reportedly going to target Tony Snell with all of their cap room. Cool. Blow your wad on role players again, just like the last management group did I hate this team so much now edit: And Otto Porter is the other target I guess.

Doc Rivers is a mediocre coach and an rear end-tier GM, not sure it really has anything to do with Clips core players.

DeimosRising posted:I'm not sure they have but at some point that's the problem. At this point Griffin imo deserves the dreaded "injury-prone" label. When he's on he's absolutely elite but that's too infrequent. It's sad to say but the best way forward for the Clips in the immediate term might be Griffin leaving (he has an ETO and could likely be able to get a max if he tries the market) and, I dunno, Paul George signing. Of course that doesn't solve their problems of their bench perenially being poo poo due to Rivers refusing to sign anyone who he didn't coach on the Celtics or in the driveway at home.

Magic is gonna call the Bulls ask if they have interest in D'angelo and GarPax will debate it and eventually decide to ship out Butler since they expect him to leave in FA anyway and they'll call Magic back and say yeah we'll send you Butler and Magic will get all confused and say he thought it was obvious he wanted Rondo.
