Matthew Dellavedova's Potential $10 Million Salary Shows How Nuts the New Salary Cap

[SupremeGuy]

B-b-but Tony Parker's contract ...

All the bad contracts in the league don't make me feel any better about TP's contract, tbh.

Listening to mock off season on Dunc'd on podcast...

A question to the Capologist, whith the Cap getting bigger, do all the Exceptions and the Veteran Minium also get bigger? Or they stay the same?


Thanks in advance

The amounts for the expections are predetermined. This could change if the CBA gets renegotiated in 2017.
But for now you can check out the expections here: http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q25

This is why, as someone else mentioned in the other thread, its a good year to cash in all those foreign prospects we've had stashed overseas. Even if we don't sign a mega-free agent, we can fill out the roster at bargain prices with those hungry to get into the league.

If Aron Baynes could get $6.7 million a year under a $70 million cap it's not a huge stretch to see Dellevedova get something nearing $10 million a year under a $94 million cap. This is going to be a terrible year to be signing free agents. When the Spurs strike out on Durant there really isn't anyone I'm all that interested in. Not in a market where Harrison Barnes is an easy $20 million a year player, Demar DeRozan is an easy $26.4 million player, Bismack Biyombo likely pulls $20 million a season, Kent Bazemore pulls $15 million a season. that, even fat Diaw at $7 million is a monster bargain in this free agent class.

I understand but giving 7 million to a fat lazy dude that doesnt even care about BB sounds like wasted money to me.

I'm not so sure that Diaw is in the least bit lazy or fat. Now whether he cares much is another story as he has a pretty active life outside of basketball. I think he is a perfect bench guy for us behind LMA. I just wonder which big man we end up with. We need offense in the front and back court. Should be an interesting summer.

He´s like 34 years old, has won a championship, almost two and is too busy doing BB non related things, time to let him go, same with Patty.

And if any of them pan out, they become huge assets with the rising cap either to develop at a controlled cost or in a trade. Not assuming any will, but these guys are free agents who can only sign with one team vs. 30.
