Would you give up a 2nd or something to get a 31 yr old very injury prone Bogut for 1 year if you could also move AA somewhere? Would eat up about $6.5M in cap space.
No, I would not.

Yea I mean I'm pretty sure the lakers sixers and nets have to spend like 40 mil just to reach the salary floor

It was always going to be stupid, there is a HUGE imbalance between the supply of money and the supply of talent this year. If you sign a guy this offseason you better not miss on him.

What?! I sure hope the media is overestimating these contracts. It is just getting stupid now.
Part of the issue is that basic % of cap comparisons aren't going to work. Maybe Lin should only get 8-10% of the cap normally which would have been $5.5 -7M/yr under current cap and $8-10.5M under new cap. However normally there are only 5-6 teams in an nba offseason with real money to spend on free agents. This season there are 20-25 teams with money. So now Lin gets pushed up to 13-15% of the cap.
These contracts are going to be crazy. It will level off once the majority of the contracts from the previous cap expire, but this first offseason where every team has money and there are limited players to spend it on will be crazy.

The market for facilitators is going to be depressed this year. There are going to be less teams needing facilitators and more teams able and willing to be the facilitator than in the past.

The Salary Floor is a pretty weak incentive/penalty for spending money. What will push teams to spend money is that for most of them doing nothing is seen as being bad at their jobs, even though this particular off season it might be the smartest move you could make.

TBW case for terrence jones
Intrestingly he/jrue/AD all share the same agent and obviously TJ and AD go back.

In theory, at least, it would be possible to give a very mature high character guy like Jared Dudley a two year $24-28 million dollar contract, and then sign Terrence Jones to a three year $21-24 Million dollar contract.
I would be very happy with that, if we can't get Batum/Parsons.

TBW has an article up predicting where the top 50 FAs sign
Of note:
Pels sign Evan Turner 3yr/$45m
Pels sign Marvin Williams - 4yr/$55m
Eric Gordon to Knicks - 3yr/$45m
Ryan Anderson to Kings - 4yr/$80m
Dudley to GS, Bazemore to PHX, Lin to DAL, Parsons to ORL, and Barnes returns to GS

I didn't say I agree with the article - just posting for discussion's sake

Evan Turner is a guy I've thought they may target for awhile. I'm personally not a huge fan but I can see them liking him.
Turner and Williams would be a pretty big offseason for us. Don't think that's possible.

I don't believe that article was from TBW.

Conley makes sense if they did offer Jrue an extension for a reasonable price and he declined saying he wanted to be paid more. You can't offer the house to a guy who only played 54% of his games in 3 years and has a high probability of having a similar injury. Although I don't believe anything from Broussard, Conley's people have no reason to try and up his value.
