Because no one reads the CBA that closely. People always take awhile to adjust to the new rules.

Probably true... I assumed they were team options and were different.

I listened to Bill Simmons the self proclaimed Picasso of the Trade machine... he cooked up a scenario where LBJ just signs outright in Houston and then they sign Chris Paul and Capela... completely ignored that they'd have $40M in capholds... I wanted to slap him through my phone.

I thought we could trade them until today, too... Cy pointed out to me that according to the new CBA only the guaranteed portion of a non-guaranteed(0) or partially guaranteed contract counts for salary matching purposes. I guess this is a loophole that the NBPA wanted closed and they closed it in the new CBA.

The reason our contract fall into that rule while others might not is because they were signed after July 1st 2017(when the new CBA went into effect). If we had contracts signed before that that have non-guaranteed money, they would be trade-able and their number would count for salary matching purposes. Unfortunately all of our non-guaranteed contracts were signed after July 1st 2017.

Thx... just wanted to verify... I want to say some smart people (clayton, Larsen, and others) said we could do it... not like they are gospel, but the unguaranteed thing was not new (to me... have heard Duncan and others mention it). I may have misread what they said.

Bright-side: This severely limits how many dumb trades Lopo can come up with.

Hey everybody, it's me Cy and I have a little man's complex so I have to troll people on a forum.

No, someone already posted the link explaining it all.

Yeah, that was me Napoleon.

Okay Faried and Chandler and 14 for Burks?

Bring back Exum and Favors.

Rubio-Exum
Mitchell-O’Neale
Ingles-Chandler-Sef
Favors-Crowder-JJ
Gobert-Faried-Bradley

Use 14 and 21 to move up and draft BPA.

Faried is 6'8" He's not in any way a center.

I thought his muscular *** could play small ball C. Guess not.

He's a center in the modern NBA. No one wants a 4 like him anymore. He hasnt progressed to being able to score outside of the paint in his 6 year career.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

No, you are right. Very few teams would look at him as a 4 anymore. He probably wont be in the league much longer if he doesnt stick on a team as a small ball 5.

It was a joke, relax.

The irony of calling someone Napolean as you plead to be acknowledged for a link you posted.

Plead? Nah. I would try to teach you about respect, but keyboard warriors don't care.

Back to the actual subject, I do agree with you about Faried that he should be a solid small ball center. No reason he couldn't play like Tristan Thompson and emphasize defense, rebounding and hustle. I don't know if he has the ability to defend one-v-one though against the Harden and Curry types. Regardless, he would only be here a year.

Anyone remember all of the bitching about Millsap and worshipping of Faried from a whole lot of posters.

That was funny.
