Someone from this thread should steal his old one the second that happens and start tweeting ridiculous fake deals.

Maybe he'll bring his "Vertical" shop with him to ESPN and can keep the old handle

Oh this has to happen. I guarantee you can dupe ESPN easily with that. If PG isn't traded yet, do some insane PG to the Knicks for something really stupid deal.

Not exactly fair since Bradly's contract was before he became an elite perimeter with decent enough shooting under the old cap. He's going to get properly paid in the 20+ million annually.

Not unless you think the cap is going to jump. The most Danny Green ever got was 14% of the cap (10 million in 15-16), and I don't think Avery is going to get 20%.

Allan Crabbe got paid how much?

(not 20 million, but Danny Green was the exception and was taking a discount for the Spurs)
