It's okay Dirk, we know how passionate you can get.![]()
I ain't donating my money to any team that thinks Vaughn Bonner and Old man Bowen can still play.
Your babble cannot be figured out without your halfass explanations.
The spurs do not have bird rights to barry so there is nothing to renounce
Then stay the out.
Check your numbers.
Spurs are at 56 million. As of the completion of the draft, they are on the hook for Hill's 'minimum' salary of 838K, plus a charge of approximately $460K for two empty roster spots (with Hill, they only have 9 guys under contract).
That puts us back at $58 million, and the cap hasn't been announced for 2008-2009 yet. There is no wiggle room under the cap, and even if the Spurs were under the cap by 2 million, they can't add that to the MLE money and give him $7 mil or something stupid like that.
Further:
If a team is below the cap, then their Disabled Player, Bi-Annual, Mid-Level and/or Traded Player exceptions are added to their team salary, and the league treats the team as though they are over the cap. So even if theoretically we had this mythical $2 million you are talking about (which we don't, see above), the league would still tack on the amounts for the MLE and LLE on top of our trade exceptions and we'd be capped out.
Stick to the kiddie pool, 'agent'.
(Bowen can still ball)
No, keep him away please.
I guess you have to fix my quotes to make yourself feel better after someone stole your box of Hostess Twinkies.
I'm not going to get excited, but GOD, I hope this happens.
So Matt Bonner's $3mill is hosing the Spurs again.
The Spurs are offering a variation on the DA offer: join us, play for a championship, be showcased, and then be able to opt out to be re-signed by us when we have a load of cap room (or, well, someone else) for your true price.
The only difference is, he'd have to wait two years. But the Summer of 2010 should result in a pay raise for him if he's a free agent then.
No its not.
GOD WOULD YOU SHUT UP.
Not at all.
Sequ is still allowed in this place?
Dude, Frankenstein is brutal. I'm with Sequ.
What I don't understand is that there is no mention of whether or not Maggette is even interested, yet the Spurs are "front-runners" to sign him, which would imply they are at the top of his list.
Something's not right here...
what kind of question is that?
His contract doesn't prevent the Spurs from going under the cap.
Mid-level exception
A team is allowed to sign one player to a contract equal to the average NBA salary, even if the team is over the salary cap already, or if the signing would put them over the cap. This is known as the Mid-level exception. The Mid-Level Exception for the 2007-08 NBA season is $5.36 million. Only teams that are over the Salary Cap can use the mid-level exception to sign free agents.
