Does the league not give a shit about tampering unless it's LA or what? What's the point of having moved free agency up to today at 5 and were already hearing about numerous deals agreed to or planning to be agreed to
Madam Silver is a wuss and won’t address it. His BFF Lebron Will ground him for a week. Seems easier to open free agency two days after the Finals and allow signings a week after that.Quote:

Would love to see the spurs get Aminu
Mills and Gasol were bad deals. But nothing close to some of the crap that got signed up to when the cap jumped. Guys were getting signed to $20+ a year for four years who were below replacement level.Quote:

I just saw that the league has set the cap for this year at just over $109M. It looks to me like the Spurs have about $103M in salaries (plus the balance of Pau's deal) on the books, including the two new rookies. Roughly $6M below the cap.
So are they going to be able to, say, trade Belli's roughly $6M contract, and take back a $12M player with that room
Then hire Gay with Early Bird (Max for him under early bird would be about 2/$35M, assuming they don't go longer.)
Then still have the Room MLE? (The Room MLE will be about $5.1M at this cap level.)
If I'm not missing anything, that's a substantially better situation than I'd been thinking.
Portland has never been a threat for anything. Pretenders year in and year out.Quote:

Defer Milu
Renounce MLE & Bi-Annual Exceptions
If they did that, SA would be at -7.9M in cap space.
That means to get to 12M in cap space, SA would need to trade 20M in salaries with taking nothing back:
So something like Mills and Bertans moved would get you close while being able to keep Rudy.
