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.Some massive contracts handed out
40 million is the new 25
Desmond Bane is on $3 million and team has a $3 million + option for this seasonCap 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.
Only ones with value are genuine superstars with rest being basically worthless
On one hand, he really did them dirty with the timingLol, Dame requesting a trade after they pay Grant all that money. He should've done it before Draft Night, now Portland want a star in return
He told them he only wants to go to the Heat. Blaze are screwed hereOn 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 has no leverage & Blazers will get a haul for him as many teams have been clearing cap space for such an eventualityHe told them he only wants to go to the Heat. Blaze are screwed here
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
We’re now living in a world where LaMelo fkn Ball will be earning more than Giannis
Place has gone nuts
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 yearsUntil Giannis is up for his extension.

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.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
