Credit to Random for learning me somethin.... So, here's the slightly corrected version... Tony should be able to afford the jumbo eggs and not just the large ones at Kroger's as a result.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Skylar Mays should get a full BR contract for the minimum as well as Cooper. With two of the three years having non guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if we want to spend the full Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception of $9.536M on a Center. I think we should try to avoid the Tax this year, because as soon a Trae's contract kicks in we're there, don't want to be in repeater Tax already, but as @thecampster pointed out, it's about the year end salary. Good call on the vet min amount counted against the cap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most NBA message boards are full of people that don't even realize this is a financial game as much as its a talent game. Our board is light years ahead of most fan boards. The cap stuff use to fustrate me, so I took @atlhawkfantic 'crash course'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Giving Cooper a Kenyon Martin Jr. or Isaiah Joe deal makes sense https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2020/11/2020-nba-draft-pick-signings.html https://www.spotrac.com/nba/houston-rockets/kenyon-martin-jr-70694/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member sturt Posted July 31, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Happy for fanatic if that means he's found there's more to life than being quite that deep into NBA numbers. But selfishly, yeah, I've mainly enjoyed following his deep dive journeys, and wish for more. Think he may have just been too high strung, though, to endure it. Really seemed to stress him out to find someone ever questioning his stuff or find someone who just made some error in understanding. I speak from experience... hehe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted August 1, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Has the NBA announced the actual salary cap figure as yet? Or is that tomorrow or the 6th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted August 1, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Good question. Surely we'll hear something tonight or first thing tomorrow morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted August 2, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Correcting my thinking... Keith Smith in his podcast today reminded us that the reason free agency doesn't start immediately is that the bean counters need a few days to determine for a fact what the thresholds for the new league year are precisely to be. So, not tonight, not tomorrow morning, and probably not until later in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
