The timing is even trickier when we consider Johnson's cap hold goes up the moment the offer sheet is signed -- same with DMo. Right, the cap hold goes up when the offer sheet is signed, not when it is matched? Johnson's cap hold could increase by $4.4m, cutting into Miami's capspace for Wade. So, teams can screw with us (like Cuban did with Parsons) by getting DMo to sign an offer sheet early. Same with teams can screw with Wade's salary, by getting Johnson to sign an offer sheet on July 7th.

Of course it is... As much as I keep saying that each non-signing isn't the end of the world, it is pretty demoralizing to be rebuffed like that so many times in a row. At some point they have to somebody, right?
Lin said the same thing about staying in New York. If Tyler Johnson shuts it down, all he's doing is sacrificing his own leverage to get paid.
Am I misreading this Article VII, Section 4(a) -- Determination of Team Salary, Computation Article VII, Section 4.a.3: The aggregate Salaries called for under all outstanding Offer Sheets (as defined in Article XI, Section 5(b)) Plus Coon's FAQ: #14: Exactly what is included when computing total team salaries? ... A cap hold for salaries offered in offer sheets to restricted free agents (see question number 44).
Ah, ok. Nevermind. Hence why we hear teams waiting until the last second to accept the offer, to strap the offering team.
Really hope we can nab this guy. I would love him and Cole Aldrich as our backups for the 1 and 5. All we would have to do is dump Brewer, renounce Dmo and we could let them split 23 million dollars. Spoiler PG: Beverley / Johnson / Payton SG: Harden / Gordon SF: Ariza / McDaniels / Dekker PF: Anderson / Beasley / Harrell C : Capela / Aldrich / Onuaku
I'd like to upgrade with someone younger. Feel like we need to make some trades because there's no upgrade left on the FA market, save for Barnes who will get matched.
Who could we get though? DeMarre Carroll? Struggling to think of a target honestly. I just don't think we can afford to start Ariza this year.
No idea who's on the block. Tell you what though, I'd rather have maxed out Barnes for $22 than paid Anderson $20. That would have made Ariza expendable and he's got to have good value with his contract so reasonable.
This might not make you changes your mind but the difference in Barnes contact and Anderson's contract is this: Barnes $22,117,000.00 - 1st year salary $23,609,897.50 - Average salary $94,439,590.00 - total salary for 4 years Anderson $18,731,000.00 - 1st year salary $20,000,000.00 - Average salary $80,000,000.00 - total salary for 4 years
Maybe GPII will blossom before our eyes. Surely would've liked Tyler J, tho. That Cole Aldrich for C depth idea is not bad. We have the $ for that, don't we?
