YES DAME WILL BE WASTED HERE AND HE WILL LEAVE AS HE SHOULD

WE ARE FOCUSING ON 3+ YEARS FROM NOW.....NOW

Best understand this and get over it. This is the world we live in

 

[SlyPokerCat]

I don't hate the signing. Butttttt. Why do we want another guard that sucks on defense? Cant we get something different, like a 3 and D shooting guard with some size?

 

[Strenuus]

Jesus. Really?

I swear, Neil is the Jack Z of the NBA. Falls in love with one certain type.

If we use the BAE, we're hard-capped at the Apron of 129,817,000.
Lux tax starts at 123,733,000

If we instead carve up our taxpayer MLE (5,603,850) by giving half of it to Curry, no problem, we just keep ringing up salary. If we used the non-taxpayer MLE (9,073,050), the BAE (3,551,100) or a Sign and Trade, they're hard-capped at the apron.

Yeah, my guess is unless something else happens this will be with part of the tax-MLE.

 

[Labinot41]

What means getting hard capped?

 

[Strenuus]

So what we're finding out is there is no SF's for cheap. Got it.

 

[JDC]

People complain about losing Napier and we may have just upgraded if healthy and people still can't help but throw shade...

smh

 

[Scalma]

Had a PER of 15 playing nearly 30minutes a night on a team that pretty much runs Terry’s offense.

Maybe. But personally, I DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU TALK!

I think it's pretty obvious which of those we did.

I know you guys all think Neil's an idiot, but let's be real.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Wrong way to look at it.
This year we obtained Biggie and Zach in the draft.
Next year we're getting Simons and Trent in the draft.

So, from my POV at least, we've gotten 2 guards and 2 bigs. Balance.

So you're LITERALLY living in the past? Also ignoring our star free agent signings

 

[BBert]

Wonder how CJ feels about all this. Flattered (Olshey likes me so much he keeps trying to clone me) or a little concerned that he's being replaced

CJ will be happy when he ends up on a team where he can be an all star. Bonus if it's a market where he gets more national exposure. Seriously, he won't care.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

smh

Seth Curry is NOT A POINT GUARD. We have NO BACKUP PG. This is why our bench sucked LAST year.

 

[e_blazer]

What means getting hard capped?

Certain kinds of exceptions that are allowed to sign free agents only can be used if you're under certain spending limits. If you use one of those, then for the rest of the season you can't exceed a point called "the apron", which is about $6 million over the luxury tax threshold.

 

[Chris Craig]

Neil knows its not the good curry right?

 

[andalusian]

This is starting to feel like Neil has watched too many "back to the future" movies and is enacting the Doc Brown part. A little bit crazy.

 

[Scalma]

Now spend the other half of the mle on Beasley and trade CJ Aminu and Zach for Kawhi and Gasol .

 

[Rastapopoulos]

CJ will be happy when he ends up on a team where he can be an all star. Bonus if it's a market where he gets more national exposure. Seriously, he won't care.

And what do we get in return? Judging by what we got for Batum, a couple of second round picks and a pack of gum.

This "real" you speak of has been brought to us courtesy of one Neil Olshey.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Now spend the other half of the mle on Beasley and trade CJ and Zach for Kawhi.

Kawhi really BETTER be able to guard 1 through 5. (He's just probably not used to doing it at the same time.)

Thanks bro

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Also, if we get Kawhi, it's a guarantee his injury is career-ending.

No. Apparently there are rules against that now.

Ah, the "David Kahn Defense"...

Seriously, we could offer a vet min contract for just under 2M (just like we did with Stauskas), or carve up our 5.6M exception that's the only way we're going to get anyone above the vet min who's a FA, in order to give a guy a few hundred G's more. For Seth Curry. A guy who missed the entire last season.

 

[JDC]

This board is becoming insufferable.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Why would the Mavs let the "healthy Curry from 2 years ago" slip away?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

So you're LITERALLY living in the past? Also ignoring our star free agent signings

No. Wrong. It's not living in the past. It's great strategy.
What "star FAs"? You mean Stauskas and Curry? They are the 2 guards and Collins and Biggie are our 2 bigs. I didn't get it wrong, you must have just misunderstood.

at least it's not right-handed power hitters who can't hit homers in their own stadium or play D... wait a second....
