AD now eligible for SuperMax

Get him to sign as soon as possible. Lock dat shite up

Cousins tried to get his trade derailed because it was enough money to stay in Sacramento. Indy thought it would have been able to keep Paul George if he had qualified for it and it's so much money that Chicago sent Jimmy Butler packing so they wouldn't have to pay it. The Pels would have to take a big step back to non playoff team status for him to not sign it.

Pretty much. 28 is prime age to go to a contender or demand a trade before he signs that extension.

he can’t sign that supermax with another team...only the pels. So he will sign it unless he’s just so miserable he wants out

I believe he can't be traded until at least one season after signing the super max.

I feel like this moves our worst case scenario to sign and trade

What are we expecting the cap to go up to in a couple years?

not sure, but davis’ salary will be a % of the cap, 35% I believe
so if the cap goes up his salary goes up

If percentage based Max salaries rose with the cap then Boogie wouldn’t be making $18 right now. The salary and raises are based on the year you sign your deal.

If he's smart, he signs it no matter what and then sees if we are competitive in a year or two, and then he can ask for his trade

for that kind of money, i would play in Jackson mississippi or gary indiana

The good thing is this gets us out of the weird situation the CBA caused where it is financially stupid to extend with a team before become a FA. There is a 0% chance he doesn't sign it, so even if he wants to leave, we will get a shitload to trade him.

Does anyone know if there are any offsets in that 35% (ie cap or tax savings)?
