18/per? lmao Knicks
Doesn't get any better than this folks
18/per? lmao Knicks
why does the knicks keep on trading with chicago for their horse ....
how many years?
$18 per year. Lmao
Very predictable signing, tbh..so Knicks
The new Brooklyn Nets..
So the Knicks have just raided the Bulls wardrobe basically. Ladies and gentleman your New York Bulls.
You mean they raided the Bulls box of clothes that is being sent to Goodwill but paid a ton of money for it.
A max player with the projected $94 million cap with the NBA experience Noah has would be eligible for a starting salary of $28 million. When it jumps the next year to $107+ million, it goes to $32 million first year salary.
Be prepared for many more mind boggling contract offers to average, adequate, unimpressive players. Players with injury histories. Players on a steep decline. Players who just a few years ago might be looking at the MLE getting offers for $15 million a year. That's what the salary cap explosion will do. Most of the team's will have loads of cash to spend. And I believe the salary floor is something like 90% anyway. So teams will spend the money. And players some of you won't believe are worth two plugged nickels will be getting deals that a few years ago were reserved for franchise type stars.
$18 million starting salary to Noah sadly falls in line with what's going to be happening a lot with teams and mediocre free agents.
Because its not horse ... its bull .
Knicks.......... The joke of the ing league.
just because teh cap goes up and starting salary for players goes up, doesnt mean u negotiate at that starting salary...noway this clown is worth 28m,let alone 18m per season, thats like franchise player starting salary
isn't Phil supposed to be saving the Knicks?
Today's NBA.
With the cap the way it is, it speaks to how stupid the fans are.
Assuming Noah and Rose can have a healthy season with the Knicks, the Knicks could be a top 4 team in the East. Can they beat Cleveland?, nope.
Pretty much. Noah's deal in 2015 bucks would be less than $14 Million. If you look at it in 2017 bucks, it would have been even cheaper.
It's not a risk-free contract by any means, but Noah has a chance to be worth it. It's like the equivalent to Tyson Chandler's contract.
I hear what Jam is saying ...but these owners need to stop the madness.
NBA revenues are way way up from the TV deal and players get a fixed percentage of the basketball revenue. So salaries have to go way up too. I don't understand why you call it madness.
But WTF are the Knicks thinking? $18 million a year average over four years isn'r bad for someone like Noah ( Bazemore will probably get a similar deal), but the Rose trade only made sense so they could use him as a placeholder for 2017 capspace when you have guys like LeBron, Westbrook, Blake, Curry, Paul, and Durant coming up for free agency. NY should be trying to do what Miami pulled off in 2010 when they traded for a similar faded star (Jermaine O'Neal) to act as a cap placeholder to give them room to sign two max players.
Who said they started at $28 million?
You do know that $18 million is less than $28 million, right?
So you pay the guys that are worth it, not guys on the decline and coming off major injuries.
I keep going back to matthews. We all saw how broke down Kobe was post achilles ...
yet Cubes gave 70 million to a guy fresh off a rupture?!
Just because you have to pay SOMEONE ... doesnt mean you have to pay the wrong someones.
I would rather risk paying that on biyombo or Whiteside then a guy he is close to done ...
...but I will admit Noah and Matthews are hard working chemistry type guys.
I just wouldnt pay $70 and $ 100 million for that ..
Look at the FAs list and remove the players that deserve to get paid. This leaves a of a lot of teams who'd have struck out in free agency with a lot of money available if only to approach the salary floor. Ridiculous money will be paid to players who don't half deserve it. It's a great time to be a FA. Watch the likes of Deng and Marvin Williams get deals approaching 20 mil per...
If you dont hit the floor what do they do ...fine you?
Fine me. If its less than the millions i have to overspend i still come out ahead ...
