People thought Cory Joseph, Baynes, and Aminu were overpaid last year. ing bargains.
Parsons averaged like 14 points last season, lol 96 mil
Mozgov wasn't worth $12mil. He was worth $5-7mil. Dude is a bum since his injury.
If I'm Danny Green I'm going to my agents house and shooting him in the head.
That's about 25% of the cap![]()
Spurs probably called Mozgov with a huge low-ball offer![]()
Lakers keep throwing tires soaked in gasoline on their dumpster fire of an organization
Blazers gonna blaze.. Looks like that front office is smoking too much of the green up there
Are you insinuating that he isn't worth that?
The great thing about the Spurs coming back with the same squad is not seeing one of these awful contracts on the books.
1/4 of their cap to a role player![]()
Heh. We still aren't taking any showers together.
I'm going to sleep now. I wanted to see people pulling their hair out over the opening bell news. I got my fix. Now to wait. It's like the tortoise and hare thing. The Spurs will be plodding along, just like they always do.
The more I watch this, the more convinced that there are going to be some (relative) bargains to be had, after the obvious guys get their too-large share of the cap. That's sort of the Spurs' style, anyway. Other than Durant, there was nobody in this FA class worthy of mortgaging the future for. Hopefully they are going to cherry-pick from the ones that don't sign right away, and do what they always do.
Under the old CBA, ing Parsons is like a $12 mil player max and I'm trying to be generous taking into account all of his injuries.
No matter what the happens, I'm sure Lamarcus is glad he left that dumpster fire![]()
Even 26yo Thon Maker on rookie contract has better value than some of these deals.
One more thing - I saw an article saying that if Durant signs a 1-year deal this season, and then a max deal next year under the bigger cap, he'll make an extra $25M or something like that, overall. I'm too tired to go look for the exact number, but the amount of money it adds to his career earnings is insane.
Now... where is he most likely to sign a deal like that?
Lakers making Mosgov their starting center giving him 65 million , or 14.5 % of next yrs cap ( not bad) when cap rises again to 108-110 million.
Agents & GMs would be irresponsible to not take that into consideration.
Like M4T was saying though, everyone knows the cap is jumping again next year. So these GM's are looking at what these contracts will be with regards to % of the cap next year, not this upcoming one. It's subtle, and doesn't mean these contracts are good, but it's important to remember that.
It's 25% of this year's cap but that's no biggie since they have a ton of money. Next year when the cap jumps that % will shrink.
But I hate Parson's and he's never proven to be worth any max, any time despite getting it twice (his team's hate him after and let him go).
