Deron Williams buyout

[Mediocre Man]

So the Nets bought him out and once he clears waivers Dallas can sign him.

Can we threaten to block that and demnd something from Dallas not to, like in baseball?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Makes sense to all concerned.

I was thinking, and talent-wise, peak Deron Williams is probably Lillard's ceiling. But character-wise, Damian's ceiling is probably peak Chauncey Billups.

I'm confused by this situation. Is Dallas gonna pay the bulk of his 43 million owed from the Nets so they get off of trying to stretch his contract like the pistons are doing with Josh Smith?

I don't think we should even touch this. Keep Clips the villians

I suppose we could claim him off waivers, but then we'd get stuck with the last two years of his contract at something like $20M per year. I think if Olshey was interested in that, he just would have made a deal with the Nets. Otherwise, he's a FA and can sign wherever he wants.

No. He'll get whatever buyout is and hen sign with Dallas for whatever he can,..probaly 10 mill

Damnit. Another brlliant plan ruined by sense

It's sad. He used to be one of my favorite players to watch when he was on the Jazz, I had both his and Roys Nike Zoom Phenom shoes.

Wow, it's good to be Deron... How does this buyout effect Brooklyns cap situation?

Did your legs explode after wearing them?

Dunno?

I assume the whole contract hits their cap....not sure

Then Brooklyn doing this makes no sense..... They could've just dealt him to Dallas for a 2nd rounder or something and let Cuban deal with it.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't - they're still on the hook for the whole thing cap wise.

I did fuck my ankle up playing at Hoopla in the Roy colorway lol

I thought when a player is bought out, the new contract they have with their new team would offset the team's cap that bought him out.

Example: 20 mil player bought out, new team pays 10 mil, old team is on hook for entire amount but 10 mil on cap

That's what I thought. Like with Josh Smith, they stretched his contract to 5 million over (x) amount of years after he signed in Houston

Don't take my word for it. I don't really know shit about the cap. Just thought it was something like this. We need the cap gurus to confirm

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Would be an ok back up point guard. Nab him

 

[RR7]

Their cap figure would be the buyout amount. Then there is weird offset math when he signs elsewhere

Fuck that, he'll want somewhere around 9-12mil at least. I rather we call up Billy King and try to get Jack for peanuts.

 

[RR7]

2 years, 10 million with Dallas

 

[Further]

I have to admit if the Blazers are going to suck, my western contingent will be the Mavericks. I just want Wes to succeed and would love to see deandre sulk that he made the wrong choice.

Wow.... Brooklyn getting f'd in the A once again #ThankGodBillyKingIsNotOurGM

I dunno, they save money, get close to, or totally under the tax u think, and get Deron out of town.

It's only 10 million off of the 43 owed, they still have to stretch 33 million. Also isn't Brooklyn in another switch pick situation with Boston this year? So, sucking does them no good.

 

[RR7]

I think I saw he took close to 30 in the buyout. I could be wrong. So that'd work out to 15 per year.

Not saying they want to tank, I think he's just not good for the locker, and they're better off moving on

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Someone said if we dont spend our cap it goes to our current roster. Thats why I dont see Kanter for max and Derron for 10 as a problem. Wouldnt that get us near cap? Its like gambling with free money youll lose anyway
