Tagging @BigToe because you specifically asked about how they can manipulate things.

Gozlan just does NBA Cap stuff.

This is also what I was trying to wrap my smol brain around yesterday. Gave up after about 3 minutes.

 

[Jack Straw]

Wow. Didn't think Melton would get anywhere near that much. Good for him though, hope his back holds up.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

NBA salaries are bonkers

I had AP Physics PTSD. Oh here's a word problem followed by 7 parts you have to answer.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Are there any fans that understand the NBA cap or does everyone just rely on twitter?

Yes

 

[trostol]

5 years..314 million..wow

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Yes

Is there a reason why certain salary cap rules are in place? It always gives me the feeling of shady accounting practices like the ones Hollywood is famous for

 

[Rebels57]

Do the NBA Refs get 10% of Tatums new bonkers salary?

 

[Flybynite]

5 years..314 million..wow

If Embiid signs a max 5 year extension going into his opt-out season (it would replace the option) it would be around $350 mil with Embiid's 5th season being worth $81.2m (age 36)

 

[DancingPanther]

Ok so what do I do now

 

[Embiid]

Still the consumate loser....

Meanwhile, NBA star Ben Simmons has scored a buyer for his chic Los Angeles farmhouse for a loss. The three-time All-Star and Brooklyn Nets point guard sold the contemporary abode at auction for $12.1 million without fees.

2028 first round draft pick from L.A. Clippers
L.A. Clippers' 2028 1st round pick to Philadelphia [L.A. Clippers-Oklahoma City-Philadelphia, 11/1/2023]

Didn't know they had this pick. That is extremely valuable IMO.

Who has thoughts on Kyle Anderson? He doesn't seem to stink. Could be MLE eligible I think. If I properly wrapped my head around what an MLE is

No, I haven't been DARKO scouting UFAs

Loved Kyle Anderson ten years ago.

Sounds like Kyle Lowry. Or worse- Robert "Bruised" Covington

From what I remember he was really slow. He was like a 6'9 PG at UCLA though and that was cool.

Harden is signed for 2024-2025 & 2025-2026. Kawhi is signed thru 2026-2027. There have nothing else beyond them.

The only worry is that it being LA and them being in a new arena is enough to attract FA stars there and they are able to assemble a super-team after clearing out their salaries. Pretty much 75% of all the stars in the leagues will be heading towards (or hit) FA before that 2027-2028 season

Big Rodney Purvis guy?

I remember reading about those two in some random magazine in the library my senior year of HS.

At NC State yeah. I was a sucker for big combo guards.

Loved Lavine in '14. Crazy hops and could pass a little.
