2014 NBA Off-Season; Paul George suffers a double-compund-fracture, likely out for season. Speedy re

you're high as ****

 

If Kobe remains somewhat healthy, no way he will retire after this contract... he's not leaving all that bread on the table.

 

This is still a fluid situation but all signs point to about a 16 mil increase from the current cap. Where did you get the 90 mil cap from? Check this out:

All hell would break loose if they somehow tried to back load the contract. I don't see that happening

 

I didnt say exactly 90. It was one of the known guys, forgot who this was about 2 months back. they were throwing numbers in the 80-90 million area.

 

Shooting under 40% isn't exactly a good thing...

Not sure what that has to do with anything, but it's still false.

 

Revenue split - you buy a jersey, 57% went to the players, this was lowered to 51% to the players.

Luxury tax - prior it was 1 dollar for every dollar you went over the tax. The big market teams would ignore the tax because they're making bank. The tax was changed to incrementally raise up to 3.75$ - 1$, and an extra dollar 4.75$-1$ for repeating year after year. Bkn, the most exaggerated example whose russian billionaire ignored the tax, is paying his players ~100,000,000$ total, getting taxed over 200,000,000$. This money that is taxed is split by non-tax paying teams.

"8 Teams lost money last year: 

Orlando ($2 million loss)
Sacramento ($3 million)
New York ($3.5 million)
Charlotte ($8 million)
Detroit ($12 million)
Atlanta ($13 million)
D.C. ($13 million)
Brooklyn ($144 million)

On the other end of the spectrum, Lowe reports that the most profitable team in the NBA this season was the suddenly terrible (at least on the court) Los Angeles Lakers, with $100.1 million in profits. Here's the rest of the top five:
2. Chicago ($61 million)
3. Houston ($40.7 million)
4. Boston ($33.1 million)
5. Oklahoma City ($29 million)"

Overall, NBA is profitable again for owners, and there's not a good argument for owners to not increase the new cap.

 

Players strike is coming, but what kind of headway can they make? The owners can hold out for longer than the players can, I dont think theyre going to push the revenue split in their favour as much as they would like to.

 

It's still possible for the cap to further increase, pending another profitable source of revenue such as sponsors on jerseys

 

These dudes ain't striking.

They can't miss a full year of income.

If they had the balls to strike they wouldn't have signed the current CBA in the first place.

The average NBA player's salary is going to explode. Them dudes ain't missing a year of checks so Kobe can get an extra 5 million a year.

I've never been so confident so something sports related in my life.

 

Is that the be all end all of a good player ?

 

Nba players aren't striking.

 

Kemba is not better than Monta...

We gunnin' for those last 7-8th seed spots in the East.

 

Kemba rebounds, assists, plays defense better and turns over the ball less than Monta

 

but does kemba has it all?

 

Can you explain why you're randomly choosing to compare a point guard to a shooting guard

 

They were both point guards last year

 

We compare players across positions all the time, that's nothing new to this forum.

 

Please tell me this is photoshop

This has to be the part of the hair transplant where they say your hair falls out

 

From this:

 

to this:



in like 2 weeks?

 

So Jose Caulderon played shooting guard last year?

Sure, but in this instance I'm asking him why he's choosing to. It makes little sense in any case, as being better than Monta doesn't say much

 

:x :x :x

im not obsessed with hair lines like yall but damn bruh, he gotta shave that, thhats not a good look

 

According to Basketball reference...... yes..... Calderon did

My point is that Kemba is a good player, a borderline All Star caliber player like Monta Ellis

 

A full yr?

These dudes can't even miss a month of income, the way they spend.

Where and when did Calderon play shooting guard

Ellis is a borderline All-Star because the shooting guard position is the weakest in the league. Wall, Irving, Lowry, Rose. It's going to be tough to be an All-Star, especially if Rondo finally gets healthy.
