Can't remember a contract stand-off with someone as mid as Kuminga dragging on this long. If we did a 2 for 1 trade like this Wiggins rumor, I...
JJ wants to play like the C Bags. True 5-out, drive and kick on offense and heavy switching on defense. But we just don't have the personnel...
Even if Sprite was a team sponsor, it wouldn't matter if the team wasn't involved in the Sprite/LeBron contract. If a Lakers team sponsor came to...
You are still mixing up evidentiary standards and actual elements of the crime. You have to think that Steve Ballmer intended for all this to...
You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm not saying that you have to prove cap circumvention with a piece of paper that says we're...
No, I don't think it is. Aspiration could pay Kawhi $100 million to do nothing if they wanted to, for whatever reason. It only becomes...
I think Lowe brought up a (and maybe the) critical point on one of his recent podcasts - you either intentionally circumvent the cap, or you...
The fact that we've heard nothing about a Rui extension (while it's been made clear that Austin will be extended) makes me think Rui probably...
Rui/Kleber/protected 1st for Wiggins seems like the cleanest version. I’m sure we’d like to include Dalton instead of a 1st, but it complicates...
I think it was a one-off thing, he's been really positive on how Luka's played in Eurobasket. Speaking of Luka, I'm not going to pretend like...
It looks like the comment about Luka making bad reads was specific to a March game against the Bucks, where we got blown out and Luka had 6...
I don't think it would be all that hard to flip Wiggins again if necessary. More teams are going to have space next summer and at least a couple...
Lowe had a sports lawyer on his pod today about the Kawhi thing. The guy brought up a couple of interesting points that I don't think have been...
Totally fine with Wiggins for expirings/Dalton/1st. Don't want to send Rui in that deal.
No I just addressed this. An inducement to pick one team's max contract over other identical max contracts from other teams is not cap...
The spirit of the rules are to legislate parity of talent by imposing a ceiling on the aggregate value of their player contracts. There is a...
If the outside arrangement isn't being used to reduce the player's cap number, it isn't cap circumvention. The money Kawhi was getting from...
I disagree, I think it makes perfect sense that you can't commit cap circumvention with respect to a player under a max contract because he counts...
I get why the rule is structured that way. If the player's contract is still for the maximum amount allowed in his particular context under the...
The only constituency that matters here in terms of what Silver is going to do is the other owners. He's not going to impose a punishment on...
