In case any of you are wondering about the signing. He has a championship ring in his finger. We need another veteran 20-10 player incase Brand goes down. If Brand stays healthy, Toince is one of a kind 4 points shooter who can space the floor. Toine fits our needs. :wink:

I don't care about the reports of his workout regime lately, "Antoine" and "Fit" don't belong in the same sentence.

WOW! guess he wouldn't want to come out of retirement for the vet min. Way to go 20 mil over the luxury tax to sign a guy that has played in a handful of games over the past 2 seasons. I am sure a real owner would have tossed out $11.7 mil just for the one ring, hell you should have given a max deal to Robert Horry!

Chicago is a big market city and a profitable franchise. If you guys see dismantling a nba finals caliber roster acceptable to an instant tanking team more acceptable than an owner paying extra money to win then there is something wrong with you.

Horry is 38 years old, Toine is still at early 30s. Besides I love Toine's shoulder dance.

Toine is 33 but can not argue with the dance. Good stuff and good signing!

I don't need to use my MLE as I am far enough under the cap

Then you wouldn't be able to use the MLE anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

Dahntay Jones shouldn't be BYC since his previous contract was for the Minimum.

From Larry Coon's CBA:

BYC defines the salary that's used to compare players for compliance under the Traded Player exception (see question number 68 for more information about the Traded Player exception). Usually the salary used for comparison is the player's actual salary. But under either of the following circumstances, a different salary is used when comparing salaries for trading purposes:

The team is over the salary cap, used the Larry Bird or Early Bird exception to re-sign the player, and the player received a raise greater than 20% (unless it's the minimum salary).
The team is over the salary cap, it extended the player's rookie scale contract, and the player received a raise greater than 20%.

So even though Jones' raise was more than 20% it should not be BYC since he was a minimum salary player (unless I have made a mistake somewhere).

From Shamsports:

Dahntay Jones: Signed to a one year minimum salary contract in July 2008. Same situation as Andersen, except Jones is a 5 year veteran, so he is being paid $926,678.

I think that the same goes for Von Wafer and Chris Anderson.

From Shamsports:

Chris Andersen: Signed to a one year minimum salary contract in July 2008. Andersen is actually being paid $998,398, the minimum salary for a six year veteran, but as his minimum salary contract is only for one year and he has more than three years of experience, the team is only billed an amount equal to the minimum salary of a two year vet. The league pays the rest.

Von Wafer: Signed an unguaranteed one year minimum salary contract in September 2008. Wafer is actually being paid $826,269, the minimum salary for a three year veteran, but as his minimum salary contract is only for one year and he has more than three years of experience, the team is only billed an amount equal to the minimum salary of a two year vet. The league pays the rest.

Everyone with cap space is going to send in an offer to LeBron, just get over it.
