Houston ended up owing him a bunch of money the lakers didnt have to pay but it didnt count against the cap

Yeah it was weird . He got paid 15 million that year but the cap only "saw" 8

Arenas rule is weird

lol at the computer programmers in here railing against the idea of tipping

Does anyone remember a goon in the long distant past who wrote a long post about how he actually tips like this:

euphronius posted:

No it was just a normal contract since knicks didn't match

IIRC it was structured so that Lin got paid $8m in each of the first two seasons and then like $23m the last season. If the Knicks matched, the cap hit would be those numbers, but for the Rockets the cap hit was spread evenly over the years even though the actual payout was 8/8/23

I think? So the Lakers would have paid Lin a ton even though the cap hit was $13m

It's been awhile since I read how it was set up

It was 5-5-15

For the cap it was 8-8-8 for Houston and would have been 5-5-15 for the knicks

He actually got paid 5-5-15, but it only ever appeared in the cap books as 8-8-8 since the knicks didn't match

Achilles tear aside, Rudy is a good player if you put him in the right scenarios offensively. It's a good if not unusual move for the Spurs

rudy gay is 30 and has a ruptured achilles. like right now, that poo poo's probably still a little torn.

Damn, this is good coffee.
Player option is huge for the Spurs too frankly. Puts a little onus on him to perform and if he does, he opts out and is off the books. Or he shits the bed/is injured constantly and is only $8m in dead money.

The Kings should've used their space this year to take on bad contracts and get some draft picks. Instead they're using it to sign beloved veterans and making everybody sad.
