As long as they don't say 70%, it's good (Just getting the obvious and unfortunate joke out of the way, @justtxyank )
We're in August and Shumpert doesn't have a team, and yet you're acting like he'd thumb his nose at a $13M deal with Memphis to take a $2M deal...
Right, this is comical. Say what you will about Tilman, but not sure how on earth you could argue that swapping out a roster spot that's already...
My bad, you're right. Shumpert will probably prefer taking 15% of his potential S&T salary just to middle finger the Rockets. (Can we debate like...
The other benefit to the "trade for a buyout" strategy is that Memphis would have incentive to try and push him to Houston. Not necessarily...
Scenario I've wondered about: Maybe Memphis allows Iggy and his agent to speak with other teams, and then once there's an "agreement," they buy...
I don't know why you're acting like this is some foreign concept. Teams buy draft picks all time, and usually much lower ones than a pick in the...
Three points: 1) Yes, they've already wasted some opportunities no matter what they do moving forward. Full agreement there. 2) The only FRP...
I agree that it's a dumb comparison, but two things... 1.) We don't get to pick and choose when hypotheticals count. If you're going to count the...
To be clear, and I know the people in this thread won't believe it until they see it... but I meant down the road, once there are buyouts and...
Stick with the facts, and there's not that much difference between the spending of Les Alexander and what we've seen thus far from Tilman...
Just like Tilman was about to fork over whatever he had to re-sign Jimmy Butler to a 5-year max, had Minnesota taken Houston's offer last fall....
To this day, 538 gets so much grief over a certain 30% probability of theirs that happened. Yet, these same people would probably bring an...
You can make the last two years non-guaranteed, though, which effectively makes it a 1-year deal.
Wait, what? We have way more data on Les than we do Tilman. With Fertitta, we've had basically one season and 2.5 weeks. If there's a "for sure"...
As far as margins go, 0.68 is a decent size. At the end of the day, though, it's just one of numerous models. No reason yet to think that this is...
Just going by the eye test, I'm a little skeptical of a metric that has Westbrook's 2016 as superior to his 2017. The difference in him being a...
We need @Carl Herrera to start tracking his investments.
Yes, if they don't pay the tax at all, then not using NT-MLE would be very frustrating. I agree there.
Keep in mind that in House's case, the RFA rights only really extended to Houston's mid-level. The Rockets couldn't match offers beyond that...
