Here's to 50 Spec. Threads!

Oh wow! Didn't even realize that. That's an awesome accomplishment!

This is going to be a good one. I can feel it.

This was mentioned last thread. Thought I'd just toss the tweet here.

John Denton ‏@JohnDenton555
Courtside NBA scout on #Magic SG JJ Redick: "He's the reason there are about 9 of us (scouts) here at the game tonight."

[arsenal6106]

So is this the last spec. thread for JJ Redick?

I an one of the rare few, but I would like to keep Harrigton. I agree that Turk and JJ are gone for the right price

What's the deal with that? Did he lose his pass to the Magic training facility?

[trebone]

I will say BBD will prove some wrong and some right! Hoping he proves me wrong, I also would rather move AA than JJ

Larry Coon says:

I’ll start with your second question…teams can only lower a player’s salary by the same amount they can raise it — either 4.5% or 7.5% of the first-year salary. They can’t go from a huge salary to the vet minimum as you suggest.

Thus, the Magic can't sign JJ for $15 mil first year and go down to $5 mil for next two years. Was a good idea though.

[BadMofoPimp]

Hearing the disappointment in J.J. Redick’s voice from across the Orlando Magic’s locker room, Glen ``Big Baby’’ Davis yelled out encouragement to his despondent teammate late Thursday night. It wasn’t long after DeMar DeRozan drilled an off-balanced, heave of a shot that sunk the Magic and Redick was talking about how Orlando’s chances at making the playoffs later this season were slipping away. ``Hey, J.J., it’s all right. They are going to be loving us again soon,’’ Davis yelled over to Redick. ``I know, we’re going to go on that 10-game winning streak going into the All-Star break,’’ Redick said, hoping he could somehow will the Magic back on track.

BBD Gonna Prove Ya'll Wrong!!!

Larry Coon Says

The league’s insurance policy covers about 150 players — each team submits five names for consideration, and the carrier can exclude up to 14 contracts per season. The submitted names come from the five highest in terms of current salary and the five highest in terms of total remaining salary. Teams can also submit more than five names for coverage.

I do not know if Harrington is covered this year. If he IS covered, then following a 41-game waiting period (which has now passed), the insurance company pays 80% of his guaranteed base salary, up to $175,000 per game. The benefit continues until either the contract ends or the policy ends, whichever comes first.
