But I was told that Realgm is working real hard to fix this problem. So keep your sig until the end of the month like you promised like a man of your word you are REX

That is very true, Howard and I were discussing it earlier. He was asking what all the influx of Kaminsky pics were about. I told him that Rex is a huge fan of both the Admiral and Frank the tank.

Both are two of the best bigs the league has ever seen.

While I'm fine with Rex supporting his favorite college player on other NBA team (our rival team even ), he's been showing off his avi and sig by sneak double/triple posting QUIZ

friendly warning might be in order QUIZ.

Holy chit.

Do not want to face boston in the first round, especially without home court. They own us this season.

If we can't beat the Celtics then we don't deserve to progress.

I gotta agree here. Celtics are not a better team than us. They just show far more fire & determination. Hunger is the only difference between Boston & Miami. What we do have over them in the playoffs are battle tested veterans, who i predict will show far more passion in the post season than they have all reg season. Also, and spite of my criticisms, we have a coach that has alot of PO's & finals experience. I don't care who we face in the 1st round, i think we take down wich ever team it is.

Crazy stuff, it's all mental with him.

And shot selection.

If he a good BB IQ he would be a better JJ Redick

It's as simple as that really w/ Green. He takes ill advised shots (JR Smith) If he could just grow a few more brain cells he would be thriving off the bench and he would make our bench even more dangerous. Shame.

iggie phuck him up pls

we've created a monster goodboy

chalm's been through a lot so extra feistiness is understandable though. look at what happened to chalm's fav players lol

rio = mid-season trade - torn achilles

uncle = season ending buyout

mcsob = trashcan treatment

Good god, also to add to that list... His notorious 4 am chit chats stolen by MWP. I don't like this.

Man how much can one man take...

Panda stealing his precious chit chats might be the straw that breaks the camel back..

The Kaminsky gang keep pushing posters...feels like someone gonna snap real soon.............

so if we cant beat the celtics, but we can beat the cavs and the celtics lose to the cavs we should not avoid celtics in round 1?

disagree.

We can beat the celtics.

But if we can't and we get them then we deserve to lose.

Grow a pair man.

HIF, your dislike for Dragic is a bit strong at times, but you do raise an interesting point: Is he the future point guard?? I believe he will figure out how to become better in the half-court, since he hasn't been asked to do it before. However, we the backcourt being so crowded now, makes you wonder if they're getting insurance for him just in case he doesn't become what they hoped for.

good. happy we are signing one of the kids from sioux falls. shows them that if they work hard they can get to the next level. also looks like we learned our lesson on the 2 year deal from whiteside.

[Heat3]

Think we'll go 2-1 (lose to Celtics) the rest of the way. Don't think we make it past the 2nd round. Will be hard for this group to win on the road.

our playoff success will come down to turnovers and jump shots. if we turn it over and cant hit our jumpers we wont go far. if jrich can stay hot, jj makes his 3's ad deng and wade stay smart with their shot selection anything can happen, but tall task

What? We never had the opportunity to sign Hassan to a 3 year deal. We are signing Weber in his first year. Hassan played for Sacramento beforehand for two years. We had to sign him to a longer deal in cap space (which wasn't available). A minimum contract was all we could offer and those are limited to two years.

I'll be disappointed with a 2nd round out now. I'm ready for whatever comes, but I have champagne ready just in case.

Could you post more? Your sig was really annoying for a while, but it's winning me over with all the hearts. I feel all warm and fuzzy. Is it that way with you?

I haven't seen you on the general board lately. What's up with that?

You can find the details here:

http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q25

Search for "MINIMUM PLAYER SALARY EXCEPTION". (If you don't sign in cap space, you must sign with an exception: Bird, Early Bird, MLE, BAE, etc - Minimum is just another exception used to sign (usually) veterans like Hassan.)

MINIMUM PLAYER SALARY EXCEPTION -- Teams can offer players minimum salary contracts even if they are over the cap. Contracts can be up to two years in length. For two-year contracts, the second season salary is the minimum salary for that season. The contract may not contain a bonus of any kind. This exception can also be used to acquire minimum salary players via trade. There is no limit to the number of players that can be signed or acquired using this exception.

This exception begins to reduce in value after the first day of the season. For example, if there are 170 days in the season, then this exception reduces in value by 1/170 of its initial value each day. So if a team signs a minimum salary player 90 days into the season, it can pay the player only 80/170 of the minimum salary.

See question number 86 for more information on how minimum salary players are handled in trade.

We used our entire MLE on Josh McRoberts and our BAE on Danny Granger, so we only had minimum exceptions left for players without bird rights.
