It's May, you can't just predict this stuff at this stage of the early off season. We'll get a better picture of things around July.

hoopshype sucks, they have very limited information as far as non-guaranteed contracts go. they also lack features like trade kicker info or cap holds.

Blasphemy!

ahahaha, well...for one lesson we learned...look at OKC. A championship team with Harden, Ibaka, Durant, westbrook etc...

and due to PAYROLL . . . they have no chance at a championship...ahahaha

So according to Sham, Duhon is not guaranteed. Does that mean we can cut him? And does anyone know the non guaranteed amount of the 3.5 mil?

if u hover over any player's name, u get all the details on their contract. in duhon's case, his guaranteed amount is 1.5 mil.

whats funny about that?

The funny park Doc, was that the owners, stern, Cuban etc...all complained about the LAKERs having an unfair advantage, even a payroll advantage over the small market teams. Thus pushed for the hard caps, lux taxes etc...

And now one of the NBAs top teams, a small market team mind you, committed suicide by trading away one of their top pieces (Harden) because of payroll. And without Harden, who would have provided the much needed depth due to Westbrooks injury, OKC has put themselves in peril of ever hanging a banner! Why? Because of payroll! ahahahaha.

In their attempt to stop the major market teams, they league has placed their own small market teams in peril. ahahaha

The NBA doesn't actually want small market parity though, just the appearance of it. Otherwise it would actually be a hard cap.

LOL
