I didn't see a thread about this yet, but I figured it'd be fun to bump now and then to see how far away, or within we are to maintaining our 2013 pick. Right now we have 1/2 win away from getting our 1st round pick.
I think now that the deadline is over the team will pull it together and win just enough to cost us an asset
I look for Dallas to pass us, and everything else to be about the same as it is now. I predicted we would have the 10-11 pick in the draft. I think it is more likely that others pass us than we pass anyone ahead of us. So I think our "asset" is pretty safe.
Not really correct, better to look at the Conference standings as a team with a worse record than us might end up in the playoffs and therefore the top 16 (assuming we're ahead of the 8th seed in the east, if you're standings are fine).
I hadn't considered that. E: after looking again, I noticed that the 9th team in the east has a worse record than us, but the 8th in the east has a better, so at this moment, my original positioning still makes sense.
Ok lets say we get the 10-11 pick, we give Maynor the qualifying offer, and we let JJ walk......... How much can we offer a FA?
If we renounce everyone except Maynor for some reason, his cap hold is 5 million. I suppose we can renounce Maynor as well and still sign him using Bird rights if we don't land a RFA we renounced him for? The new cap is supposed to be 60 million, so renouncing everyone and their dog, and including the 11th pick, we would have somewhere right around 13-14 million. If we do not renounce Maynor is drops by 5 million. If we do not renounce Hickson it drops by 7 million more
Wait a minute. I thought Maynor's cap hold is 5 mil, but his QO is 3.4 mil. So, if we sign his QO, it'd be 13 to 14 minus 3.4.
I still can't believe people are rooting for losses. I just don't understand what's going on... [video=youtube;32FB-gYr49Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32FB-gYr49Y[/video]
