I was reading that MAVs is considering to cut Finley under the new CBA amnesty clause.
I have a couple of questions?
1) Do you know if there's another team that will use that clause... like NY?
2) I read that this clause will work in this way:
a) A Club said ... this player is cut,
b) The player will be free to sign a new deal,
c) The player will get his money, if so ... what is the economical advantage for the franchise??
They don't have to pay the luxury tax on his salary, and that is equal, dollar for dollar, to his salary. They'll save 50%. It's also a one time good deal, this year, for teams over the tax threshhold.if so ... what is the economical advantage for the franchise??
Oh, and rumor has it that NY wants to dump Allen Houston.
I see, is there any other team cutting players??? ... btw Finley will be a good option for many teams.
Yeah New York will probibly cut Houston, Los Angeles will cut Grant, Portland may cut Van Exel if he reups, and I heard Utah may cut Okur.
Okey dokey.
Okur? Are they even over the tax threshhold? I would have thought Boozer.
Wow, those names will be able on the market by early august???
Who of you think that Spurs will be shopping?
I have a feeling the suns will get Finley.
He will get to play with Nash again...and the Suns will need to make up for trading Quentin away and then not being able or willing to match Atlanta's bid for Joe Johnson.
No, they have only about $47M in committed salary.Okur? Are they even over the tax threshhold?
what you forgot to mention is the player cut is not allowed to sign with the team that cut him for the length of the contract he is currently being cut from (but still getting paid for the length of the contract).
THe rumored suspects are:
Finley
Houston
Van Exel
Jalen Rose
...and Brian Grant. I'll bet there will be others, too.
spurs spent some of their MLE on oberto and still have LLE and vet mins but not having the full MLE to offer I don't think they will be able to play the players cut and pick up anyhone liek finely or houston
Houston has terrible knees, so I wouldn't want him anyway. As for the others, it would depend on how greedy they are. You do understand that they will still receive their FULL pay from their old teams, don't you? That makes it easier to latch on to a contender for less.
yes they do get their old pay , and there was that one player that got agent screwed that came to spurs, but overall some other teams would probaly still throw the MLE at a player like finely or any other top teir cut
how about Webber?...
Damn I always forget Brian Grant, I keep forgetting he even plays these days
I'd love to see Finley come down, if nothing else then for knowing that we'd never lose to _allas again as long as he was on the Spurs.
There's rumors that the Friday date might be extended another week or so.
SO those players, will be earning the old contract + new one (the one he sign with his new team) !!!??
problems in getting the CBA signed?There's rumors that the Friday date might be extended another week or so.
Please answer:
a) There's no pens to sign the CBA.
b) Players changed their mind again.
c) NBA owners must be consulted before signature.
d) It is really hard to write whatever they agreed before.
It's no big deal, it was expected that it might run a few days late .. just the lawyers getting all the details finalized. It might be ready Friday, or maybe not for another week or so.
Is there a good chance that Toronto will cut Jalen Rose?
men i wish the NEW CBA said you coudl cut coaches so we could cut pop and get rid of his HUGE contract
Did I miss anything???
