Layman to T-Wolves

[SIeepwalker]

I'm rooming with Woj down here in Vegas for the next 10 days. He lets me see the bombs before he drops 'em!

"Mrs HCP has a busy schedule ahead as she will reportedly meet with 21 unnamed forum members before the first summer league game"

 

[wizenheimer]

If he says it, take it to the bank.

I was shown why that TPE is only 1.8M:

" The 2011 CBA mostly eliminated BYC -- in fact, the term "Base Year Compensation" was removed from the agreement entirely. The rules formerly known as BYC now apply under just one circumstance -- during sign-and-trade transactions (see question number 92). If a team re-signs its Larry Bird or Early Bird free agent in order to trade the player in a sign-and-trade transaction, the player's new salary is greater than the minimum, he receives a raise greater than 20%, and the team is at or above the cap immediately after the signing1, then the player's outgoing salary for trade purposes is either his previous salary or 50% of his new salary, whichever is greater. The team receiving the player always uses his new salary."

so then, yeah, unfortunately it's a nearly unusable TPE unless some team is looking to dump a player on a vet minimum contract

Damn it! I should've known at least 20 others got the same invitation as me.

Thanks for the nugget. That makes more sense.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Because he wanted to go to the T-Wolves.
If Portland forces his hand and keeps him then doesn't play him he becomes a problem. Layman wanted a better situation and he went there. Olshey found a way to make that happen.

and get some EXTREMELY minor benefits for us, too.

 

[wizenheimer]

I think this was mostly Olshey building some good will with another team and a player agent. It also enhances Portland's rep as an organization that takes care of it's players, even ones that are leaving

So Jake changed his last name?

Zerga.....Lyman Zerga

How do you come up with 10x better? That would be even better than Klay Thompson/ CJ McCollum level.

That is the way it reads for sure. It's player and personnel reputation building.

 

[maxiep]

My guess is we thought Hood was gone. When Hood re-signed with us, the plans had to be adjusted.

Stuff like that is important, especially when you're on the edge of contending. If you're a 41-41 franchise, it doesn't help much. However, knowing you'll do right by players if it doesn't work out can oftentimes be the deciding factor between two contenders. Who helps players on their way out and who burns bridges?

 

[BBert]

The Blazers helped Layman land a better opportunity for himself.

It's the culture. It's family.

Shit, I read that like a week ago too.

 

[Tallbottom]

I actually felt that more about Patty than Jake.

Patty Mills! You betcha!

WTF are you even talking about?

I hope it doesnt sound like Im piling on, but I wasnt sure what he was talking about either. I think he didnt mean to respond to you.

You better watch it. Keep doing stuff like that, and you're gonna end up with Slys job.....

[CupWizier]
