Udonis Haslem

I'd give big props to Wade,LeBron and the other dude if they each agreed to 12-13 mill to help get more talent there. I don't see it happening but we'll see soon enough.

According to ESPN, Bosh and LeBron each took $14.5M, Wade $14M. That gives the Heat a surprising amount of cap space even still, with about $14M left to fill out the team. Miller will take $5M of that, but that leaves $9M, so I expect Haslem will remain there. Wade wants him there, so that certainly helps.

Yeah, I wanna see Sap, AK, and Koko take PF duties for the year. Jazz should be focusing on another C to bring in. Use the Harp exception on Gortat or what's Dampier doing now?

Haslem's a solid player but not what the Jazz need right now. Let the other guys develop and if the Jazz lose a few games in the process they're closer to the lottery, instead of another early playoff exit.

+1

The trio that Utah currently has at PF isn't earth shattering, but each provides a different look that can adapt to matchups.

Imagine, Jerry, playing combinations based on matchups rather than salary (or "yell factor").

UH would be a great backup. If we could get him for a good value, it'd be awesome.

LeBron & Bosh 18+ Mil a year for 6 years. Wade 17+ mil a year for 6 years. Not really much of a pay cut.

LeBron & Bosh 18+ Mil a year for 6 years. Wade 17+ mil a year for 6 years. Not really much of a pay cut.

Plus income tax is 6% in Ohio, so he makes an extra million just by playing in FL with no state income tax. 18M * 6%= 1,080,000M

 

[Shaggy]

I don't know if these numbers are official yet but I saw them scrolling across ESPN. I was a little shocked that Wade was making a little less than a million than Bosh and LeBron.

DWade is lobbying HARD for UH to come back to Miami. While the big 3's paycut isn't really that much of a paycut, it's still probably enough to sneak Haslem back into the fold. At first I thought Miami was going to be the Big 3 and 9 league-minimum scrubs. I've got to give it up to Riley, he's made it so not only did he get the big 3, he's added Mike Miller and most likely Haslem. Well done.

 

[Shaggy]

Mike Miller is in the bag then? What is the deals length and worth?


I'm not sure what the starting salaries are for Wade,LeBron & Bosh but if you use their avg season salary they got 53+ mil locked up in 3 players. 5-6 million left before they have to dip in to league minimum contracts and the MLE which is 5.78 or close to it.
