David Aldridge Adament on Millsap/Hamilton

[NAOS]

Put it another way. A restrictive CBA means two things: 1) All salaries will be reduced across the board. 2) By consequence, Hamilton's 12.6 million dollar salary in year 2 is effectively that of a MAX player. Do you want to be paying Hamilton a MAX deal when you could theoretically put that money toward an actual MAX player?

when we're talking hypothetically, i.e. Rip as a max player vs. prototypical max player, then it doesn't look very good. And, I'll admit, it's far from ideal.

I'd have to take a look at potential free agents for that year before I could give you an honest answer. Perhaps I'm just too stung by the reality of rooting for a small market team to hold out for prototypical max player and therefore find this argument less consequential than if, say, I were a Laker fan.

It doesn't matter if it's a MAX player. In two years, under a new CBA, 12.6 million is an exorbitant salary. 6 million could likely get you a player twice as good as Rip. And you could get two of those if you had that Cap Space (although it isn't likely we would have it as the Cap lowers.)

No one knows what the new CBA is going to do. Shut up.

As usual, solid points. repp'd

No one knows what the new CBS is going to do. Shut up.

I'm betting they'll still have the usual run of ****ty comedies + re-made cop and legal dramas + reality shows. And, I'll talk about CBS as much as I want.
