if we don't have a chance at the upper tier max players, I agree they keep crabbe and ride it out either letting him expire or trading his expiring later in the season.

Alright so I did some numbers crunching. Since you're the G at the CBA rules. I need to ask you questions.

Right now, we are at 66,738,032. If we were to go after KD/Kyrie combo we'd need 69,960,000. So we'd be 3,221,968 short. If we trade the 27th pick and Musa for like 2 second round picks and maybe a future second rounder, we'd get rid around 2,101,600 (i'm already adding the those roster spots cap hold). So in total, we'd be 1,120,368 short of signing them at their max. Are there anyway around these roster spot cap hold once FA hits? Like say for example, we sign undrafted players into two way deals for like 50k each? Would they be able to take away those roster spot cap holds?''

Edit: I used the chart SpeedyG made and I remember if waive Graham he might have a 500k, guaranteed contract and he wasn't on that list.

1) I think that number is off. I see us over $67mil right now if we renounce everybody & waive Napier & Graham.
2) Incomplete roster charges are somewhat deceiving. Yes, they're there for each slot below 12, but they disappear when you sign a FA. Essentially, one can be used for each FA signing. So if we're at $67.5mil w/ 4 holds, then you can essentially add $890k to that space for signing Kyrie's spot & $890k for Durant's spot. They're intended to make sure you have enough space to fill the roster, but instead of using them all on minimum guys we're using 2 of max guys.
3) When guys are making $30+mil, I don't think they're going to consider it a deal breaker if they need to start a million or so lower in order to avoid completely gutting the roster. Lebron, Wade & Bosh all took slight discounts, and those contracts started at a fraction of what contracts now start at.

0,890,000
0,890,000
0,890,000

35,897,140

Yep... I redid the math... You're right

we would have 67,627,073

and yeah we'd just have around 100k below what they want. if we trade musa and 27(or stash a euro).

If you guys think that being 2-3 mill short of getting Kd and kyrie is an issue, you're seriously overthinking this. Superstars have shown that they will take slight paycuts to play together, $3 million between the two of them won't stop them.

Ehh.. It's the fact that they can just sign across the bridge without the paycut.

However, it's not really necessary Marks made a very calculated move taking Prince. The more I think about it. So technically the threshold is 70.815 it's 69.960 due to the cap hold disappearing once a player is signed. Right now we have 67.620. So we either draft and stash a first rounder, trade those draft picks in 2 second round picks, or trade musa and we'd be on the clear. However, the Cap room is actually now rumored to not only 109 mill but 109.9 mill which to the point that we may not have to do anything at all.

I agree with this. I could see guys willing to take up to $1.5mil less than the max if it means that the Nets can sign 2 max deals & keep a guy like Harris on the roster. They can always recoup it (& then some) by signing a 1+1 if they're willing to bet on themselves staying healthy. As with anything, there's a likely a limit as to how far they'll go. Up to about $1.5mil (<=5%) is likely that limit.

Sorry for the delay, but updated it finally after the Crabbe trade. As suspected, we are very very close if we stash the 27th pick.

Image

We are 361K short if we stash the 27th pick. That's all. If the rumors are true that there's a possibility the cap is going to be actually 109,900,000?

We are golden.

Things goes through percentages. So numbers aren't really permanent. So max would be a tiny bit higher 30%/35%, empty roster charge would also increase a bit. If the 109.9 is true. I'm not sure if this is facts but from the way understand this stuff this is how it works

We are already golden... durant and kyrie aren't going to say "nah we will find another team" because they both need to take 150k less on 30+ million contracts.

Agreed. Fans are overanalyzing this stuff, it's not something to worry about if they want to come here.

That team would be so good. We'd need some solid veteran minimum guys to fill out the bench but damn.

Kyrie/Dinwiddie
LeVert/Harris/Musa
Durant/Prince
Kurucs/Prince
Allen/

Lots of talent there.

Dudley i can see coming back on the minimum. Kyle O'quinn was a guy they had interest in last year who is a UFA> Wayne Ellington would be a nice crabbe replacement/Harris injury insurance. Tyson chandler would be awesome to mentor/backup allen. Rudy gay is in the ring chance stage of his career. we probably draft a backup center like rumored too

Kyrie | Dinwiddie
Harris | Ellington | Musa
Durant | Levert | Gay

We have Jarrett Allen, no need for cousins...

Marks already made the brilliant move or turning a high priced scoring big (lopez) into a cost controlled modern day center (allen) and reallocated that max money to the gaurd/wing spot where it should be.

I think the inclusion of the incomplete roster charges are incorrect. One, probably two of them should fall off.

1) As soon as the first non-Nets FA is signed (Irving) you have one less incomplete roster spot, so when signing the 2nd FA, you would need to account for one less.

2) My understanding is that the money held my a incomplete roster slot can be used towards signing a player. The intent is that it would get you right at the cap when you sign your 12th player. Thus only $890k under the cap after you sign #11, $1.78mil after signing #10, etc.

If I'm correct on #2, after signing Irving & waiving Napier & Graham we'd be at 10 players. FA #2 would be able to entitled to about $16.6mil. If we trade just Dinwiddie for a future asset, we'd be able to offer a guy like Harris a deal starting around $26.26mil. If we could get Tobias starting for a deal around that (or if Irving will take $32mil, so Tobias can get a round $27mil) that would be ideal.

Return to Brooklyn Nets
