I still don't get how all the players signed off on this lol it only benefits a very small subset of players who obviously happen to be the most influential.

They stretch waiving Lillard's contract

Does that just mean they're gonna pay him out the remainder of his contract over the course of the next 10 years or something?

That's a crazy amount of dead cap. They're really doing everything they can to go for it THIS year. They must be really worried about Giannis leaving.

They're super desperate but that roster still looks like hot trash outside of Giannis.

22.5m on their books for the next 5 years.... that's gonna hurt but they might as well maximize their time with Giannis

Maybe, maybe not. I think the league may now be pivoting more towards more balanced rosters. There will be teams that still go with the 3 star + min guys model, but I do think the 2nd apron restrictions and playoff depth requirements will merge at some point. Whether that means MLE guys will have to take mins, or teams stop paying the max to mid guys, we shall see.

Gotta appease Giannis, that's why I don't wanna be in the big fish market, let's organically grow & then strike when the time is right

PushDaRock · Post #38 » by **PushDaRock** » Tue Jul 1, 2025 3:23 pm

22.6 in dead money for the next 5 years is insane in this cap environment lol

lol I don't know how you build out a competitive roster with that much dead money for the next 5 years combined when they have no good young players on the roster and little draft capital going forward.
