So...how far over the cap are we right now, because next year's payroll is 18 million less than this year's, according to the source I'm looking at.
just say NO to bonzi wells, that guy is the definition of team cancer. melvin ely is a guy i've always liked, especially if stro is gone, he could play both PF and C. very good player.
I still don't understand the cap situation... From what I see, we have these players coming off the books... Weatherspoon @ 6.4 million Wesley @ 5.1 million Norris @ 4.6 million Baker @ 3.9 million Barry @ 1.8 million Baxter @ 720k Hayes @ 250k Glover @ 147k Lucas @ 58k Graham @ 40k Davis @ 16k This year's payroll: $69,476,614 Next year's payroll: $51,744,967 So is 51.7 million still over the league cap? EDIT: I see now. This year was $49.5 million so next year $51.7 million doesn't leave us with anything. My mistake.
Thank you, its about time someone mentioned this guy. He can hold the fort down for 15 minutes every night.
Ben Wallace is my favorite non-Rocket player. If we could land him, we'd be set. Honestly, I'd rather have a starting five of Yao, T-Mac, Big Ben and a couple of developmental players than the starting five we have now.
I'd like to get a combo of Speedy Claxton and Jumaine Jones, if possible. Jones is really undervalued. He's a good defender who is just money with his 3pt shot from the corner. He's also a good rebounder for his size. I don't know why he's been in a funk this year, but that lowers his value in the offseason for any lucky team that picks him up. Speedy is a pure point guard, like Rafer. The difference is that he can finish strong around the hoop when he penetrates. He's good scoring and playmaking off the bench, which is something we could use. People knock him for his defense, but it's not that bad. I don't think we should go for Mike James. He fits all of our needs. Probably the ideal backup PG. But we had him before and traded him. He's going for what looks like the last contract of his career and who's to say he'll still be great once he gets it? What kind of loyalty and dedication will he have?
