Well if the cap is staying that high all the salaries are going to get higher long term. It looks just ridiculous next to the contracts being made before the salary cap exploded and some steals.

Phoenix will likely match whatever, but they may also be open to a trade after matching. I nominate Trey as part of that. Afterall, they have Frye to worry about as well this year, and Dragic, Gerald Green, and the Morris twins the year after. They have room, but they also have some big decisions on the horizon, and they were succesfull w/o Bledsoe as well this year.

IINM, you can't trade a player to the same team after matching an offer.
 
Jazz should stay flexible this off season. Let us see our new rook in action before we build our team. Jazz will probably be middle lotto next year perfect position for guards. No rush needed in filling that spot yet.
 
WHy is it that people are STILL wanting to max point guards?!! Seriously, this is always a bad idea. That is what is great about Burke, is that he is a great PG that we will likely never have to max. Is Bledsoe Prime Nash? Is he Chris Paul? Then stop trying to Max him. A max player should be a primary piece on a contending team. Bledsoe will never be that. He is worth 12 million at the high end and Phoenix will match that without blinking.

Here is what DL should do doe:

Let hayward walk
Dont overpay a dude like bledsoe
Trade kanter, trey, and GS pick for westbrook (throw in a future first if we must)
Sign Lebron in free agency
Trade Burks, Gobert, and the rights to Tomic for Bradley Beal (throw in john lucas the 3rd if we must)
Grab Thibidoe after he is fired from the bulls for losing in the first round
Win the lottery and draft Wiggins

Starting lineup of:
Westbrook
Beal
Wiggins
Lebron
Favors
With thibidoe coaching them, that would be a nightmare of a defensive team

Who is on board with this team?
If DL doesn't do these things that i suggested then he sux. Plain and simple.

You've been playing NBA 2k14 for far too long, tbh, imo...

I tend to agree. Unless that PG is named Stephen Curry.

He's eligible to get a contract that's about 25% of the salary cap of next year with 7.5% raises for 5 years if the franchise player rule is executed.
Right now the forecast is $63M cap with a $77M luxury tax threshold. 25% of 63 is 15.75 in his first year. This would end up being a $91.5M contract worth $21M in his final year.
Imagine how ****ty it's going to be for the Pacers with the Paul George close to max extension under the Derrick Rose provision.

2 things:

1. That "franchise player" rule is actually the "Designated Player" rule, and only applies to extensions of rookie-scale contracts. Bledsoe will be a free agent this summer, so the Suns don't have to name him their Designated Player to sign him to a 5-year contract.

2. That 25% amount is actually less than 25%. The cap is calculated based on 44.74% of Basketball Related Income (BRI); max salaries are set based on 42.14% of BRI (or thereabout...the 2013/14 max salaries and cap are not quite at this ratio it seems). If the cap is $63mm for next season, the starting salary on a max contract for a player with 0-6 years of NBA experience is $63mm X .25 X (42.14/44.74) = $14,834,711.67. The full 5-year contract would look something like this:

14/15: $14,834,711.67
15/16: $15,947,315.04
16/17: $17,059,918.41
17/18: $18,172,521.78
18/19: $19,285,125.15

Total: $85,299,592.05

You may be right about the numbers but Bledsoe is a rookie scale player.
He was the 18th draft pick in 2010, all team options were exercised and most likely a qualifying offer will be made for him. So for him to be given 5 years it's happening under the franchise player rule.

Thx for clearing up btw how the max extensions happen, I always thought it was the capnumber that was decisive.
