There is Markannen to Spurs Buzz

[rankingtear]

While I legit do appreciate the arithmetic, that's not really what I'm asking. I haven't seen a reason to believe the NBA did what you're saying.

Also, 08/28 is the 25th day (or 26th since 08/03 should count). And yes, 08/03, not 08/06. The end of the moratorium isn't the start of the year. But even if it were 08/06, it'd still be the 22nd (or 23rd) day. 08/06/2024 is the 36th (or 37th) day of the year because the league year started on 07/01. Using the send of the moratorium would put the 32nd day on 08/07 (or 08/06), that's true, but the proportional date should be the 37th or 39th days if using the actual league year or 33rd or 34th days if using the end of the moratorium. The NBA could round however it wants, of course, and maybe they used the moratorium dates for some reason. But I think the 08/06 date didn't come from an actual calculation of ratios as much as it did from a brute adjustment like what they do in October.

Capela signed 4 days later in 2021 and his extension eligibility last year is august 13. 36-37% of the offseason for 21 and 23.

Sigh. Okay. Just ... okay. I think you're right. I looked at 2023 articles covering the extension-eligibility of contracts signed in the summer of 2021, and they do line up with other players. I dug even effing more and I did find this:

Those are literally the only three articles I could find on Google that mentioned it. So it looks like what that Utahn tweeter did a horrible job explaining is that the NBA used a mapping table in 2020 (and probably 2021) to project the abbreviated and altered schedule onto a normal league year. Of course since literally no one in this whole mess can site a source, I don't know for sure that the table isn't public, but that's the sense I got. So while the numerology of simply comparing ratios give somewhat skewed results from what was actually reported, that's probably due to the table being a bit more nuanced that being purely proportionate.

So I really do appreciate you bringing this up, even if I would probably be screaming at you in person for all the bull I've shifted through behind this. I've learned a lot of minutia about the CBA and cap history trying to get to the bottom of this. So you were pretty much right from the start, and while I think it's unacceptable that your recollection was the most solid piece of evidence I could find for at least a day, I'm glad it was there. If Mark has signed a day earlier or day later, a lot of this mess would've been avoided.

Different player back then. Utah were meant to have bottom out and Lauri made them too good. Hardy also gets credit.

Or he is the exact same player just the cir stances changed. 40 million a year might be to much to find out.

These include dates. Lauri extension eligibility was Aug 6 2023.

[vander]

GSW should offer Draymond in the deal IMO. He would help Utah tank and the salaries are probably close

[Raven]

i don't see the point of debating him, he wouldn't play much anyway

[wildbill2u]

Is there another Ginobili?

Will there ever be?

God gave us his only begotten basketball son who performed miracles for the mul udes and there will never be another.

[heyheymymy]

I'm high on Lauri but I'm kinda feeling out if the trade includes Sochan.

That tape of the Poland games looks legit and I'm wary to let Jeremy go.

[Ariel]

Agree that he's a Warrior. They badly need him. My guess is either --

1. Ainge is trying to shake Kuminga free
2. There are other machinations to get pieces moved around

I think Sacramento has moved on to DDR and maybe also Kuzma. As for SAS, I think they're nibbling around but aren't going in hard for anyone at this time. I'd be surprised if there are hidden suitors.

The obvious move is renegotiate that pick GSW owes to Washington. It's top 20 protected so they can't profit from a potential downfall of GSW, so it'd be in both teams' best interest to renegotiate that, giving Washington a tangible asset (multiple 2nd round picks, a pick swap, a young player, etc) rather than a crappy pick that likely won't convey and will be bad even if it does, and for GSW it would give them a lot more flexibility to put together a compe ive trade package. For instance, they could offer 4 unprotected FRPs ('25, '27, '29, '31) and 3 unprotected swaps ('26, '28, '30). I'd take that if I were Utah.

Sochan will have a good career.

[OldMan88]

Well, Devonte Graham’s been traded, so the $2.8M is off the books now. https://www.poundingtherock.com/2024...to-the-hornets

[Obstructed_View]

Thank God. That 2.8 million was worrying me.

[RC_Drunkford]

[slick'81]

We all know ainge isnt dumping lauri without a kings ransom. Bwrong ain't pulling that trigger without all the trade swaps dammit

[Pauleta14]

[k830713]

Spurs still have an MLE exception??
Trade Markannen - Z.Collins + P. Reed contract MLE

[Mr. Body]

Rumors are that Utah demanded Keegan Murray on top of the load Sacramento already offered. Ainge is a lunatic.

[stnick2261]

We really need Markannen to refuse to extend so no one has to deal with Ainge. Let them lose LM for nothing.

[AFBlue]

Sign and trade next summer, and they can have Zollins and a couple pick swaps.

[cd98]

Ainge just doing his job. Good teams show resilience to not get suckered.

exactly, you want lauri? Then prepare to take a pounding

[Bruno]

What will happen with Markkanen is damn obvious: Utah will re-nogotiate and extend him on August 6th.

Something that don't lie is Utah team salary. Right now, all the other NBA teams are above the salary floor. Only Utah is below it and by a lot: $16.5M. I really wonder why they are keeping all that cap space...

[Mr. Body]

Ainge just doing his job. Good teams show resilience to not get suckered.

Eh, I think he's ing up. If he keeps Markkanen, which is likely, then he cannot outright tank the way he wants to. He may seem to think he can trade him later, but that will be next offseason when a lot has changed.

He's overvalued an asset that was delivering a nice haul. He insists on creaming other FOs and it's not working this time.

[FireMicoHalili]

My understanding is only Utah can re-sign him for more? Warriors fans on Twitter are smoking a whole lot of cope after losing Klay. Not sure they have enough to pry away Lauri.

What do you mean he can't tank?
Isn't Markkanen just another Andrea Barganani? You've been describing him as perfect tank commander for a week.
