They evened out not calling Smart getting the body last trip down with a horseshit foul on him this time. Refs are stupid.

Smart moved his body forward into the shooting space after Wall started the jumpshot. It's not always called in that situation, but you can't body up into someone like that while they are shooting.

So next year Curry will make around $36 mil, Durant around $37, Dray/Klay combined are at $33, so that's $106 mil committed to those four. Who the hell else are they gonna have on the team

They have bird rights on Iguodala and Livingston, so they can resign those guys. Barnes is still under contract. They'll need a big though, since they don't have bird rights on Zaza.

And pay what, $40 mil in luxury tax? jesus

They don't hit repeater for a while, so why not? Though I was wrong, I guess Durant needs to either take a 5 mil paycut or Iggy and Livingston need to be waived. Or Durant can opt in and then take a 5 year max the following year. There are a few options.

Are they clean on being over the tax? I thought they were in this year, but it looks like they might have ducked it. Would it actually be 3 years before they start paying the repeater?

It'll somewhat depend on what happens, but likely they will not be in the tax next year. Durant will be signing with room if he opts out, but the trick here is Curry's cap hold is only 18 million and he's going to sign a 36 million DPE contract. So that 18 million over + exceptions is probably all they will end up going over. If Durant Opts in, they can give big contracts to Iggy and Livingston if they want, then they might end up in the tax.

If Durant opts in they could then sign him with the early bird exception right?

gently caress the Warriors btw

The following season for 175% of his 2017-2018 salary or 35% of the cap (and his salary would be the cap, likely). So he'd lose 9 million and 7.5% of raises if the cap holds steady. They are actually projecting the cap to decrease, so it might be a bigger drop for him.

I expect he'll either take the full contract or just take the $5 mil cut now

The CBA faq just says the limit is up to 175% of his salary, which is plenty to offer him the max and it says he also gets his 7.5% raises.


Pop is playing Ginobili like he did Duncan. This is really going to be it I think.

Right, but he misses a season of 7.5% raises (because those on the 35 million contract start a year later). So the entire length of the contract + extensions will be 7.5% less.

So just because the cap isn't expected to rise right? So hypothetically if jersey ads spiked the cap again he'd make more by opting in and then signing with bird rights?


Patty Mills can't even loving dribble. What the hell happened. Also why is he in?

Right, but you'd need the cap to raise more than 7.5% to outpace the raises, which means a 15% increase in Basketball related Revenue. Jersey patches are not going to be much, probably less than 1% total. Cap is going up next year, but then will be flat, or might even decrease slightly.
