Dame makes 2nd team All NBA

[Denny Crane]

Casey's probably right, but...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_salary_cap#.22Derrick_Rose.22_Rule

In addition the following players are known to have signed 5 year/25% contracts:[17]

• Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder) until 2017
• Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans) until 2021
• John Wall (Washington Wizards) until 2019[25]
• James Harden (Houston Rockets) until 2018
• Kyrie Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers) until 2020 (was not voted to start the 2015 All-Star Game)
• Kawhi Leonard (San Antonio Spurs) until 2020
• Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers) until 2021

There's also this from my previous link:

A player may sign a "5th Year, 30% Max" contract before the final year of his rookie contract and before fulfilling the criteria needed to receive the 30% salary grade. Should the player fail to fulfil the criteria before the start of his Designated Player contract, he will receive the standard five year, 25% Designated Player contract. James Harden of the Houston Rockets had such a clause in his contract extension, but failed to meet the criteria.[21]

I trust Casey to know. It's an amazingly generous move on Dame's part to take any cut at all.

Why are you quoting Wiki, when a guy employed for the team is saying it's 27.5%?

Also.



12.5 mil over 5 years is nothing.

LOL Harden.

I might get a Dame tattoo.

Who the fuck gave Aldridge a 1st team vote?

 

[Natebishop3]

Who the fuck gave Aldridge a 1st team vote?

Aldridge's mom.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Who the fuck gave Aldridge a 1st team vote?

The great journalist LaSteveus Notaldridge.

 

[illmatic99]

Here's a voting breakdown if you care: http://official.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2016/05/2015-16-All-NBA-Teams.pdf

Mike Fratello of TNT gave Aldridge a first team vote.

He also voted Pau Gasol first team Center.

Dude needs his ballot removed next year.

 

[Strenuus]

Aldridge's mom.

Either that, or the pilot who takes him around so he can not be with the team.

Pau Gasol first team Center?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

No Harden or AD.

Wow.

Do you think Harden and/or AD should have made it? Or did you just expect them to?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Pau Gasol first team Center?

He's just trolling us all

 

[illmatic99]

Expected them to. Very surprised they didn't

 

[42N8Bounce]

Way to go Dame!

How did Alfridge get 3 first team votes? Assuming LeBron had to be in there, 3 people thought he was better than Durant, Leonard, and Green?

In order of voting: Horford, Whiteside, and Howard. 3 centers that received votes will be available this summer. This should be a fun summer!

Eric Collins of Hornets Radio said Al Horford was a first team center. lol.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Things I noticed:

• 9 of the 10 on the first or second team are in the West, with Lebron the only East rep.
• It appears that someone had Curry as the only guard on the first team on their ballot. Curry has 129 1st team votes, Westbrook 120, Paul 8....and that's it for guards.
• Even if Pau Gasol and Anthony Davis were considered centers, only 90 first team votes went to centers. So 29 voters didn't have a center on their first team. If positions are that fluid, shouldn't Durant have been a first-teamer over Deandre?

 

[Natebishop3]

Vindication!

 

[Strenuus]

On top of that @yuyuza1 , Marv Albert of TNT also voted Pau Gasol 1st team center.

TNT is not bright.

Perhaps those voters hold themselves to stricter positional voting, picking a SF, PF, and C. Except none of them picked a SG, so...never mind.

Maybe they voted for Aldridge as their center?

 

[crandc]

Only downside is Dame is on a team with Draymond Green.

More sad for GSW, they were so sure Klay Thompson would be first team.

Jim Barnett CSN Bay Area had Lebron and Steph as his first team guards. (Kawhi/KD as forwards, and Draymond as his C).

Dude.

No rules.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I read on Bleacher Report (take it with a grain of salt) that AD will lose 24mil on his contract after missing all three all NBA teams.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Who the fuck gave Aldridge a 1st team vote?

Someone who isn't a butt-hurt 14-year-old girl?

 

[BBert]

A nice $20 mil bonus over the life of his extension!

This year or all deferred? IOW: does it hurt our cap space?

 

[BBert]

Looks like we lose about $4m or $5m in cap space per year?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_salary_cap#.22Derrick_Rose.22_Rule

OK thanks.

I read this somewhere else besides Bleacher Report so I think it is legit.
