Just curious- it seems like the green in the OP spreadsheet indicates a correct guess. Is there any reason my 12.5 for Tony Snell did not count? I added a lot of .5's shortly after my initial post, so I'm not sure if that was taken into consideration or not.

Either way, thanks for all the work you've put into this!

Good question.

Green = "Max" for the entries that had that written instead of a number. Just a personal reminder to look up what that exact number is. Example, Wiretap says Hayward's average salary is 32 but when if I look it up the max is really 31,925,000. In short it's just a reminder to myself.

Will have a full sheet.png for review in the end. It just takes too much page space.

Ah, now I see. Thanks for clarifying!

You should round down the people who said 33m Boston for Hayward to the 32 max. No self interest at all here in the suggestion...

, Yea I've had that under review actually but ruled against because of the possibility that it initially could have been intended as a banker (unsure of this english term), between say a BOS/UTA outcome.

The counter argument is but how do you know which max? Well I don't but I tied it to the suggested team and noted that #'s should have been stated as a requirement in the op.

(Did you notice that the Millsap and Lowry deals had a hidden 4th year with the same total amount? Very sneaky)

Great argument. I'm sold.

I know, it was very hard to detect but Millsap for 22,5M (90/4) per and Lowry for 25(100/4) per just makes so much sense. Can't believe I'm the only one that have discovered this. NBA needs to get on top of this asap.

Just a heads up but the chart in the OP has me at $30 for Teague and I called $20.

So, I rechecked mine.

I did write Max for Hayward, not 33. I demand my point (not that it mattes). I also wrote max (25m) for Porter, which is a confusing comment.

And the chart shows Ibaka making 50m.

Also, I'm pretty sure Jay is from the future and thus cheating.

Thank you. I'm off grid atm. Will update ASAP.

Agreed, an obvious classic Back to the Future cheatcode in full effect.

I blame CJ Miles and Plumlee for not signing quick enough. Because now you are in trouble where we are getting to the 100 actually meant 93 stage --

Love it! I have the Olynyk one under review as well. All help with the corrections are much appreciated.

I was kind of feeling like a jerk piling on work, so good to know. But I'm always curious where these end up. Jrue's will be interesting, the range quoted was huge (126-150).

Tucker getting part of the 4th year gtd was a surprise as well.

Hey I wasn't to far off on Dwayne Dedmon. I said ATL 5 Mil he ended up getting 7 mil from Hawks it looks like.

By the time I noticed I was doing really well, teams stopped spending and I crashed. I'd have liked having that little superiority complex for a couple days

This is impressive though. Wel done and thanks caliban.

It's all good. Is basketballinsiders the best source for salary info?

Nice. Before FA I would have rolled my eyes at a suggestion below 9M.
