They got rid of the wrong one. JVG should've stayed.

Yeah, they let Jalen and Kellerman go too but kept Jackass and Perk?

Perk is just because of the social media engagement. Any talk is good talk to them.

Cap just keeps going up. Gonna go up massively in two seasons when the new TV deal kicks in, though they've agreed to smooth it off compared to last time.

Desmond Bane is on $3 million and team has a $3 million + option for this season
Signed a $207 million, 5 year deal today after 1.5 really good seasons
Literally nobody thinks he’s a MVP caliber player or anything like that

Desmond Bane is a no-brainer 25% max guy. Wouldn't even think about it. Dude can handle the ball at an above-average level, play great defence and is one of the best 5 shooters in the league.

Look at this:
Look at the names near him. Elite shooter.

Only ones with value are genuine superstars with rest being basically worthless
We’re now living in a world where LaMelo fkn Ball will be earning more than Giannis
Place has gone nuts

On one hand, he really did them dirty with the timing
On the other, they still have to pay someone
FVV will be earning $40 million a year because the Rockets have a roster of rookie contracts and they need to reach the salary floor somehow

He told them he only wants to go to the Heat. Blaze are screwed here

He has no leverage & Blazers will get a haul for him as many teams have been clearing cap space for such an eventuality

Until Giannis is up for his extension. It's just the nature of a cap that has max salaries based on percentages of the cap. It's like the NFL where the highest paid player is always the QB who signed the most recent contract.Only ones with value are genuine superstars with rest being basically worthless

These contracts are basically worthless as trade assets as nobody is giving up anything of value for Ball, Bane, Sabonis, etc on $40 million in the next few years
Worst thing is their teams are now stuck on the treadmill unless they unearth a genuine star

Every team in the league would trade for Ball or Bane right now. Bane is a lot better than you think (which is incredibly unsurprising) and LaMelo Ball is still only 21 and insanely talented.
The cap is going up every year for the next decade, most years will be the maximum off 10%. In 5 years these contracts won't be close to the biggest in the league.
