Cavs don't appear dead set on trading for/signing any of guys I mentioned (Allen, Miller, Love). Sense is they want to show LeBron they can.

FTH I'm truly disappointed that you had a shred in you that didn't hate him. I thought you better than that!

I saw this in the MSB FA thread about Parsons and Hayward and it just underscores that one effect of this offseason is that it changes the definition of overpaid.

quote:

Houston isn't the only team that wants him. He's a young versatile player that is capable of averaging 17 5 & 5 not to mention he shoots it well from 3. He's a better player than Hayward who is getting a max.


Per 36 last year Pts/Ast/Reb/Stl
Tyreke Evans 18.5/6.5/6.1/1.5
Chandler Parsons 15.9/3.9/5.3/1.1
Gordon Hayward 16/5.1/5.0/1.4

Chandler Parsons is a good player, but he's rated so highly because of how little he is getting paid.

If he's making max or near max, people won't feel the same.

He's gonna get a max deal. If Hayward gets one, he should get one.

Couldn't agree more. I'd love to have him on this team, but you nailed it.

so he would start a new contract after the new TV deal is signed and the salary cap jumps dramatically


Does the max % only count for the year the contract is signed? That is, is the number (and all subsequent raises) locked in based on that first year or does it shift with each cap? E.G. 30% of 63M, then 30% of 66M, etc.

Pretty sure it's just the first year. Remember, there is a limit on the % a contract can increase per year.

I believe so. I've never heard of anyone's salary increasing with cap increases.

Thanks.

Has anyone talked about this summer making Gordon more likely to opt out? Assuming health (big assumption) he has to like what he's seeing. If Meeks can get 3/21, why can't Gordon get something like 3/33 or 4/45 or more?

I don't see why it wouldn't. I said earlier in the year Gordon shouldn't expect another max and that even with his inflated sense of self worth he should see the contracts Lance Stephenson and Gordon Hayward get as the type of contract he can get. Well Lance turned down 5/$44 and Hayward got 4/$63

Although Luke Babbitt is on #Pelicans SL roster, the team doesn't expect to have him with squad in Vegas.

Lance has gotta be looking for a max deal now. Much better player than Hayward.

Tyreke working on his shot. Just get rid of that unnecessary fade.

Unless Wade shows up with new knees, I don't really know what he could say

Seriously though, I think its going to be hard for Lebron to say no to those three guys.
