Reread what you said. You're the actual dumb , you clown.

[HI-FI]

Does someone have a decent link that explains NBA salaries and team financials? I've never taken the time to understand things like Veteran minimum, LLE, MLE, and room exceptions. Time for me to learn.

this. i'd actually like to get smarter with this as well. help me out in 2k13 I saidddddddd.

As mentioned above, he thinks he knows more about the CBA than Bruno.

KBP league.

A slip up over chump change?

Based on the preliminary reports of the contract, it happened. Hopefully didn't but we will see.

I don't see Belinelli as analogous to Bogans and Dice. Especially when compared with Mills who is only 2 years younger.

I see it as analogous in the sense that Pop would be putting in a player he's had time to work with and who grew in the system rather than a guy who's supposed to be ready-made. Internal improvement will probably end up being the biggest determiner in how far the Spurs go next season.

Calling him "another Gary Neal" is so disingenuous it's not even fair. Bellinelli is a better player. Leaps and bounds.

the Nets were going after him after getting shut out on Korver.

I like this signing. He is a good perimeter defender than Neal so if Neal has offers somewhere that the Spurs cannot match this one is a good option.

averaging an almost 10 pts a game, @ 40% FG & 36% from the arc.
He was really good in that Heat vs Chicago in the playoffs.

and vs BKN in the 1st rnd ( game 7 May 19, 2013) : Marco Stats: 24 pts, 8-14 FGM-A, 3-6 3PTM-A, 5-5 FTM-A, 6 REBS, 2 AST

They say he actually received higher offers from other teams but wants to join the Spurs' international roster.

All these Spurs fans breaking their heads and trying to figure out numbers on how the FO can acquire AK47 or some other impact FA when all that was necessary was for Manu to take less $$$. Splitter is younger and has never earned big $$$ so he is excused. But Manu? He was supposed to be the savior. He was the one who is supposed to willingly sacrifice $$$ to try to give back Timmy his 5th ring that Manu handed to the Heat.

I'm in the same boat. I don't want to engage in talking deals because I'd be talking out of my ass. Bruno should make a stickied thread in the Think Tank with all the basics regarding deals.

Fvuck that's a lot of reading. BRB

I said that? Where? I'll wait while you misconstrue what was really said, sprinkled in with your own little preschool grammar and spelling.

Be prepared to be disappointed.

Benvenutto Belli!!!

We get it. You hate Manu.

Damn, the goods.

What could hint towards Spurs taking the cap space road is the following:
- They pick a first round pick that will be stashed in Europe and so will save them cap space.
- They hurry up to solve Splitter and Ginobili situation which was necessary to do if you want to use cap space

We'll have to disagree on the first part with respect to Mills/Belinelli.

I agree with your take about internal improvement in general, but I don't believe that Mills is a player that will have an an effect on the team's chances. In my mind, he is what he is, a deep bench player.

He's actually a terrible perimeter defender, tbh..

[CGD]

The Spurs aren't paying him 6M a year. They're paying him 6M over 2 years. The Cavs offered him 12M for 2 years, hence double.

Yup you're right. I gaffed on the numbers. For a minute there I thought the Cavs offer was 12M a year, and then I realized how ludicrous that would have been.
