Melo [was] still a Hawk... Why?

[thecampster]

See below.  Approximate Len signing should be  year 1. $4,292,682, year 2. $4,507,317.  Charges are approximate on Anthony, Len as those exact/official 1st year numbers weren't broken down anywhere...only totals. Apologies to those who won't see it well on phones.

 

Kent Bazemore	$ 18,089,887
Jeremy Lin	$ 12,516,746
Miles Plumlee	$ 12,500,000
Dewayne Dedmon	$ 7,200,000
Trae Young	$ 5,356,320
Alex Len	$ 4,292,682
Taurean Prince	$ 2,526,840
Justin Anderson	$ 2,516,048
Vince carter	$ 2,393,887
John Collins	$ 2,299,080
Kevin Huerter	$ 2,250,960
DeAndre Bembry	$ 1,634,640
Omari Spellman	$ 1,620,600
Tyler Dorsey	$ 1,378,242
Daniel Hamilton	$ 1,349,383
Players Not On Roster
Carmelo Anthony	$ 25,528,140
Jamal Crawford	$ 2,304,226

Totals	$ 101,869,000 Tax: $ 123,733,000
Total Salary:	$ 105,757,681
Cap Room:	$-3,888,681
Luxury Tax Room:	$ 17,975,319

Maybe the hardest thing to swallow is 27.8 million spent on players not on the roster (27.5% of the cap). This is where the majority of the cap room comes next year.

Because we "should" have 3 1st round picks next year, you can remove 3 players from the roster who won't be resigned next year. Also, 3 others will either be replaced or resigned to "bigger deals".

Players currently slated to be on the roster next year.

Bazemore - Player Option

Plumlee - 1 year remaining

Trae Young - Rookie deal

Alex Len - 1 year remaining

Taurean Prince - 1 year remaining rookie deal

John Collins - 2 years remaining rookie deal

Kevin Huerter - Rookie deal

Deandre Bembry - 1 year remaining

Omari Spellman - Rookie deal

3 incoming 1st round picks

--------------

Total 12 slots

 

Next year free agents

Jeremy Lin

Dewayne Dedmon

Justin Anderson

Vince Carter

Tyler Dorsey

Daniel Hamilton

 

Okay so look at the "potential free agents" and 3 of those are going away for sure.  Most probably Vince, Hamilton, Dedmon.

The other 3 are a balance of useful vs the $34 million ish that will be available (more for each pick that doesn't transfer). Lin, Anderson, Dorsey.

 

Of course all of that is null and void if Plumlee/Baze find new homes.

Is there some obscene hidden image on this jersey?  I'm not real good with those.

Guy has a point.  Might be greatest Hawk of all time. Never missed a shot, free throw or committed a foul.  Never got into legal trouble, tossed from a game or posted a playoff loss.  Have to think about this.

I've never bought an actual NBA property jersey. I might just do so here though for the irony.

I declare myself the greatest Hawk of all-time because I didn't play for the team before him (and still don't to this day) and have the added bonus of costing $20M less and actually liking the team as a tie breaker.

Just when I thought I was over my rage about the MLK game (or lack thereof), I run into this ...

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/hawks-sending-carmelo-anthony-jersey-wanted-presumably-clown-195814582.html

A good natured story about us sending sMelo a jersey.  Just a marketing thing, no big deal right?  Bring a grin to everybody's face, right?  Then .....

Good one, guys. I know Atlanta fans will be delighted to know that in addition to trading Dennis Schröder for a lottery-protected 2022 first-round pick and the right to pay Anthony $25.5 million to go away, because they will be so bad that there’s no use for a 10-time All-Star who didn’t want to play for them anyway, the Hawks will send him a custom jersey he could’ve bought at the NBA Store for $150.

I mean, wtf dude?!  What's with the unnecessary shot, Ben Rohrbach?  WTF is a "Rohrbach" anyway?  That's like the dollar store version of the Rorschach test?

He didn't want to play for us?  How 'bout we didn't want him to play for us either.  'Cause, newsflash, he don't exactly contribute to winning anymore, Ben.  How 'bout you understand what the transaction actually was, Ben, before you pick and choose pieces of the deal to try to create a lowlight for us.

Ok, ok ... I'm calm now ... for now.

We just ban likes for @kg01.  Try giving one to JayBird and you'll be good.

I think it’s based on behavior. When I’m positive I seem to be able to hand them out easily the next day...if you come in grumpy ?, the system recognizes it and blocks ur likes.

ps @AHF wasn’t kidding I was able to give every post in here a like except for @kg01‘s post..what the..
