re: If Davis Doesn't Sign Extension Immediately

I thought the Rose Rule was 30% of cap plus 7.5% raises every season, but I keep seeing 140 mil as the 5 year number. Wouldn't the actual number be closer to 155 mil?

It is not actually 25 or 30 percent of the cap number. It is based off of percentage of BRI. It is all in that article, but I understand the TL;DR thing - I mean it is like 2500 words.

Long story short - yes, we are the only team that can give him a rose rule contract and the only team that can give him 7.5% raises. It will come out to about 143 million with the new projected cap. For him to go elsewhere, he would get 9.1 next year and about 107 over 4 years from a new team.

Again, he'd have to wait two years just for the chance to earn about 30 mil less.

No hard feelings. When I put out articles this length, I am just satisfied with a skimming

He would truly have to hate being on this team not to sign.

Crewz, I know you weren't wild about signing onto this board awhile back. How do you feel about it now?

I mean, I think its much better/ less juvenile. It's why I like posting here.

Am I crazy? Compare this board to say 2 years ago. Isn't it 1000x better or is it just me?

I actually read it a while back, but today was the first time that I did the 30% x 89 mil (projected cap) x 7.5% x 5 years calculation and I was surprised when it was much more than the 140ish number that I was typically seeing. I figured it had to do with the BRI calculation, but I didn't think the number would end up being off by 15 mil.

---

In the article, I did it with a projected 85 mil cap and it came out to 139. If its 88 or 89, it projects to about 143-145

Look at the melt that occurred when Gentry was hired

Hogwash!

Someone should find the melt that Jester guy had when the CP3 to Lakers trade was announced.
