He would have been locked up regardless, but it cost the Blazers like 10m over 4 years

The difference is only a little over 2M over the life of their contract. 3% of year one salary (24M × .03 = 720K) × 3 years of raises = 2.16M.

Not a big enough difference to quibble over.

And as I recall, CJ's extension wasn't even full max, but slightly below.

Porter's offer sheet with Brooklyn is 106M, same as CJ got.

I'm going to quibble on this a little because i think your math is slightly off. The difference for a Bird rights player is that they get 7.5% raises rather than 5% raises from another team. You can see that in the contract numbers here, as they are climbing by 7.5%:

It does seem that he starts off at a lower than 25% of cap salary, but over the course of 4 years, its 109.8 vs 106, so almost 4M
 
Utah's supporting cast was decent but hardly great. Lyles and Burke are now off the team and were pretty underwhelming, and Exum appears to be in the process of busting as well. Otherwise they had Burks, Hood and Favors all show promise then regress due to injury. They have Gobert, who while excellent is pretty offensively challenged, and just acquired Rubio (and Mitchell) who are decent but also can't shoot. That is a decent team with questionable upward mobility in a tough conference.

I understand they're 7.5% raises as opposed to 4.5% (not 5%), which is why I used the 3% variance per year to calculate the total variance.

The 109M figure showing in the link is incorrect (it probably included his salary from this year). If you sum the values listed, they total 106,633,450. And Porters deal (99,093,000×0.25×[4+(.045+.090+.135)]) is 105,781,777.50, or under a million less than CJ's deal.

You're free to double check (which you always should, for accuracy's sake), but my math is flawless.

The Hayward signing is a really bad day for small market teams.

Big market teams have won a large majority of NBA championships since 1980 - take out Tim Duncan teams, and it becomes a vast majority.

I am not buying into this. GS sucked and was not a FA destination before they won a championship. The Cleveland-Akron-Canton market is not much bigger than Portland. SA is smaller.
New York is #1 and how is that working out? What have the Bulls ever done without Jordan? Philly? Washington DC? Atlanta? Detroit? These are some of your bigger markets.

Win and FA's will come.

In theory he seems like he'd be a good fit but I feel like he is just a shorter Evan Turner who is more athletic but not as good in the post

Nah, Smart is much younger, has the potential to be a good shooter and he doesn't need the ball in his hands to make winning plays.
He's just a winner imo. He's the guy who gets you that important rebound late in the 4th or gets the steal or draws the offensive foul etc.
 
What's the point of the Eastern Conference? It's the Cavs/Celtics and 13 shit teams.
 
NYK, ATL & IND interested in Crowder, Olshey you better pull the trigger on this one
fuck ATL, I really dont like that franchise

ATL has cap space, we don't. If you don't like ATL, it's all good, everyone left there.

I know the situations are a bit different. Wade took less to bring in LeBron and Bosh. But when he was up for his next check Riley expected him to take less so they could pay Whiteside. People think Curry should take less when he's been the most underpaid player in the NBA.

To be fair, Wade isn't near as good as he was. Age and injuries have robbed him of a lot of his game.

But also to be fair, Wade wasn't paid well on his rookie deal, so getting paid in the end even things out.
