Read from the official statement he can apply for reinstatement after two years. Still rough. That's two years of his prime.

He'll be turning 31 when the 2018-19 season starts...so yeah, that's brutal. Actions have consequences, though.

Man. These guys have it made. Earning millions while playing ball, the game they all love. That's the dream. All they need to do is not screw it up, you can be a bench player and still live the dream. Some of these guys just could not keep it together.

he's gotten worse every year in the league. If he's taking PEDs then he needs to fire his trainer.

You know the NBA is messed up when this scrub is making more than IT.

Great news. Bayless is good at one thing and one thing only - frustrating fanbases that want to tank by singlehandedly winning games out of nowhere. Also a sign that the Colangelos are not content to let the kids run the show and less 70 games.

Expect to see the Sixers attached to multiple RFAs once offer sheets start rolling in.

Dude..these contracts are absolutely insane. Evan Turner is getting paid the same money as Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler and Kyrie. Unbelievable!

crazy but i think this hurts our chances at KD, at least this year. he can't be willing to take 25m when he sees guys like chandler parsons are getting theirs.

We can max him? He wouldn't be taking a pay cut to play for us.

25m is the max for KD this year.
next year it's way higher.

I understand market value, but these teams paying these average players that type of money is just a waste of resources. That is why I trust Ainge.

35 mil next year right? 10 mil cap increase plus an extra 5%

Cap is going up at least 16 mil, it was projected at 110 when this years was originally projected at 90 so there's a good chance it might be as high as 115

When he comes back he'll have to accept vet minimum ..... which will probably be 18 million per year

The team that traded away Rose? He'd also be an upgrade over Payton but Magic isn't gonna sign him. Maybe Grizz if they lost Conley?
