SERIOUSLY BRO

Why?

That is his cap hold. That is what will count against the salary cap until he is signed. We will put pen to paper with Birdman last, which will take us over the cap.

Oh no. This sounds like the Juwan Howard situation from back in the 90s when we almost signed him, and the NBA said nope and took it away because we tried to be creative in the re-signings with Zo.

I am wrong right? The details aren't the same?

Teams are a lot more aware about ordering now compared to the 90s. Won't be an issue.

That's why we have Ellisburg to hash out this stuff. Guy is a certified triple OG when it comes to contracts.

Sor far, i think we can get the executive award. LeBron's decision to move to the Cleveland was more personal than a move by the cavs FO.

If we didn't get it in 2011 after landing Lebron, idk how we would this year.

If you remember riles had to share the honor with the bulls guy that year

How many years and how much? Glad he is back but hopefully not for an overpay over more than 3 years. Hopefully we have a team option after the second year. 2016 bay bay.

Stein says it is going to be a 2-year $10m contract. We could have signed Kevin Seraphin with money to spare. Geez... talk about a pay rise for a 36yo. D'oh!

Ouch Rileys brain went out the window since LBJ departed

+1

@AlbertRandom1 27m

Remember: Despite the rumored $10M contract, Birdman would only eat up $915,243 of cap space this year.

how exactly does this work?
I don't really know a lot about the CBA and cap space, would be great if somebody could explain this to me!

Since we have Birdman's bird rights, his cap hit is only equal to his cap hold. The cap hold for veterans with 2 years of service is only $915,243 for Season 2014/15.

Wow! Where the hell is all this money coming from? Did Wade trade his salary for magic beans?

Wade did indeed. Even if Wade can monopolize the remainder of the Team's cap space, his salary will be reduced to $13.5m.

But since the Team also has to pay for Wade, UD and any other role players to be announced and signed at more than vet's min, Wade's salary is only going to even lower. Tough luck!

[EscapoTHB]

Doesn't really matter the money, only the years, so Riley has it right, so long as birdman doesnt sign first

Naw, the CBA says you get a cap hold commensurate for non-executed contracts once the player and team agree to terms, which is the problem you could run into here. But as long as we don't iron out the little details yet (flat or raises? player option? etc) then we haven't agreed to terms yet, and so his cap hold remains ~$900K. he's just verbally committed to return, and we've come to agreement on the general framework of a deal (2 years, $5M each). But we won't get those little things figured out until we've spent all our capspace, and then we we'll finish his deal (at least, publicly that's how it'll go), and we'll be all good.

Thanks for the explanations.
