A free-agent can receive 105% of the last year of his last contract even if the amount is above the max salary stipulations. Deron Williams didn't exercise the last year of his contract and because of that the 1st year salary of his new contract is less than that of Chris Paul. An "ordinary"...

.Why are we having this discussion? Is it true or not that Deron got $17.2M on his max contract? I said next year the max contracts could start at $18M to $20M which are the projections I read for Chris Paul's starting salary. Blake Griffin's contract is projected to start at $16.4M next season...

Kobe's contract is a max salary exception. Not the 35% of the cap figure.

Point taken about BRI. But note that 10+ year veteran can have up to 35% of the cap. Also note that Deron Williams signed for $17.2M this year. Derrick Rose starts at $16.4M. The jump to $18M is around the corner.

Salary cap is about $58M this year. If it raises $2M to $60M then the max contracts allowed are for 30% of the cap or $18M starting salary. Deron's contract started at $17.2M this year. See lots of ppl talk about max contracts above $10M but it's really, really off.

Agreed. Now wait until he gets paid next year and you'll be able to say how much he's overpaid. Come next year Max contracts can start at about $18M to $20M.

Perfect player to do this with is Martin Gortat. His salary could go up to as much as $18M and drop to $10.8M with 7.5% decreases. Remember that big men are getting paid in the $12M vicinity. Instead of going 12,13,14,15 his salary could go 18, 10.8, 10.2, 9.8 (all figures ball-park). But it...

Can't. Really scratching my head at this one. The contract would have to be in the $43.3M range for such a big bonus to be paid.

GH and DF are eligible for 25% of the cap.

Oh and btw OKC had to get rid of James Harden (3rd pick) and Jeff Green (5th pick) to produce a team whose salaries matched up with a sustainable core.

Why are ppl overreacting. What if it was Burks and Ridnour and 10 Timberwolves unprotected picks? Of course that's stupid. But my point is that we DON'T KNOW what was being discussed IF ANYTHING was being discussed. It takes reporters a couple of hours to figure out all the specs of a trade...

That could work in Jefferson's or Millsap's, or Mo Williams contracts if and when they get presented an offer by the team. I also think that is in Marvin's best interest to not exercise his Player option. His due to make $7.5M next year. He could possibly not exercise it and sign up a 4 year...

I didn't know about that loophole and I don't know if it's in place. But a few things that put a monkey's wrench into things: #1 If Derrick Favors gets paid somewhat in the vicinity of what ppl are envisioning the bonus would probably put his salary over the Maximum allowed for a player with...

In addition, on January 102 the base salary in all contracts becomes guaranteed for the remainder of that season (except for one case -- see question 65). A player must clear waivers before this date, so teams have to waive players by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on January 7th in order to have them off...

I believe that the date to guarantee contracts was January 10th. Either way the date has already passed.

Jazz would have to cut two players so that ain't happening unless the Jazz are crazy on Lorbek.

I guess KOC is right. Fans bashing their own players have an impact on the way the teams operate. I never guessed that other ppl could read the internets.

Kahn for commish????

A week without taking any shots???? He's ready to play PG for us. Put on that jersey Gordon.

Yeah but the day ain't over yet. Tomorrow you might dislike all of those.
