On the flipside, if he stays, that's a team to be reckoned with. If all they have is Paul, Harden, Butler, Tucker, and Capela, they can just fill in the rest of the roster with ring-chasers, G-leaguers, 2nd rounders, whatever. That's still a ****ing contender.

For a couple of seasons, anyway.

Check the other thread... I have serious doubts the owner there can pay that kind of tax bill. He's not as wealthy as the prior owner.

Okay, but why make the offer? The only player of those five they would trade off is Tucker, and even then, still a damn good team.

Check the other thread... but it might be pushing all in for this one year. Try to re-sign Jimmy but maybe grind him in the negotiations... if he signs great. If not you just saved $50M.

The LT payment this year is $25M or so... total payroll is $162ish. Re-sign Jimmy and you are looking at a similar number next year... the following year it's repeater tax. Your team is old AF and you have a huge bill... with no way outside of minimum contracts to replenish or you can use exceptions but costs will skyrocket.
 
ricky rubio's struggle directly effects the entire flow of the offense b/c when you don't have to guard rubio from the 3pt line that creates all kind of problems, defenders can sag off and pack the paint or just cheat on screens for days. Spacing gets messed up.
 
The good thing about AB's shot was that it gave us this gem from Melo.


Can someone post a link to the clip? It's stuck behind an ad overlay.
