Yao and T-Mac should consider re-working contracts

completely worthless thread.

They can't rework their contracts.

They can, however, give some of it back to the rox fans who had to endure that horrible series.

 

in before the lock!!!!

 

This isn't the NFL.

 

before the lock!

 

they cant. the NBA does need to rework a new contract with the players union though b/c their salary structure stinks

 

in before the lock.

i always wanted to say that

 

IBTL.

 

Well, i think he does make a good point. With those to big contracts its hard to get immediate free agent help with nothing but the mle to work with. Couple this with weak drafting and there isnt much room for major improvement. Why is tmacs max contract so much more than yao's a year? if there wasy a way to free up just a little bit of that money we might could land another impact player.

 

Yeah and you should go to your boss and ask him to rework your contract so he can pay you lees and grow the company faster.

 

I find it Hilarious ..
I mean I am hard on T-mac and Yao but
let's not get crazy .. . . .
Asking them to do something we ourselves would not do . . .
Now their Playoff Checks. . they can give those to the needy

Rocket River
maybe use them to buy more ROWDY Tickets or something

 

Someone please explain NBA rules to this guy.

 

Neither deserves a max contract, IMO.

 

In that logic, not more than 5 players in this league would deserve max.

 

They could start their own energy drink company and sign potential free agents to endorsement deals for Yao-Soda or T-Mac-Attack High Octane.

 

My god don't people understand baseball basketball and football have different rules.

Just cause a football player can rework his contrat doesn't mean a basketball player can.


Its just not possible, thats the equivalent of asking Tmac to grow 5 more inches or something.

speaking of contracts, even if we bought out Juwon's contract, he would still count towards the cap for the duration of his contract, he just wouldn't be with the team and would have accepted a settlement amount, but on the books of the team for salary cap purposes, he would remain.

 

Each of the team that's left has good point guard, except maybe Cleveland.

That's what we need.

 

Didn't Shaq do something like this a few years back? He was making $25+million per year, but reworked it to make $20 mil per year.

 

no no no wrong wrong. You cannot rework a NBA contract. Only do an extension to the exsisting years.



In the 95-96 season he signed a 7 year 120 million contract.

He did not accept an extension from the Lakers and when he was traded to the Heat he signed a 5 year 100 millon dollar contract extension.

The 20 million he accepted per season was probably less than the market value and was far less than a Max deal he could have recieved.

BUT he did not rework his deal, he simply signed an extension and didn't sign for the Max allowable amount per the collective bargaining agreement.

 

I hope the Rockets win the lottery even though they cant be in it.

I hope the Texans sign Peyton Manning with the MLE even though it doesnt exist in football.

I hope Red Auerbach is the new Rockets coach even though he is dead.

Do your homework before starting a thread.
