He's a really good player, worth the $20M. If this deal falls through it's no big deal.closg00 wrote:Honestly, I don’t remember much of his game, is he worth $20M per year?

It's doubtful that he is being signed by NY for just the vet minimum. If that were the case, OKC wouldn't have let him go in a buyout.
Kemba was owed $36M this year and $37M next year. Chances are, NY agreed on contract terms for his new contract, and that price was knocked off his old contract during buyout negotiations. So, if NY was willing to pay Kemba $12M a year, then OKC would have bought him out for $49M (the $73M he was owed over the next two years minus the $24 NY was going to pay him).
The bottom line is that we don't yet know what Kemba is being paid, but it's a sure bet that it's more than the minimum. It's probably more than the MLE.

$8 mil per.
I'm almost certain OKC is involved, I believe they're the team with the most cap space remaining, and have to reach the cap floor or else they pay the difference out to their players.
I'm guessing Jordan or Bertans gets moved there, and I think Shep does the favors of removing the protections on the 2023 pick.

This would be very silly indeed. A bad job if Tommy does that...

Probably so he could go "scout" in Europe.
