    I don’t think Pincus is talking about next year’s exceptions, I think he’s referring to how both the Mavericks and Lakers didn’t spend all of last year’s NTMLE.

    So we can both currently offer Dinwiddie more than the minimum (which is pro-rated) compared to other teams. Apparently Dallas actually has about $5 million of their NTMLE left, we have about $1.5 million.

    What I’m not clear about is what the difference in pay that Dinwiddie actually receives would be between us and Dallas. Something about there being different rules for a buyout vs. a waiver, where in one scenario some of the players new contract is just taken from the amount the original team owed. So that the player isn’t actually making that much additional net money from their new contract.

    Edit: Pincus shines some light on that here



    Also my bad abeer, just noticed the part where Pincus was actually talking about next year’s exceptions. I guess he’s suggesting that if either team is trying to sell Dinwiddie on a long term fit, they’d both only be able to use the TPMLE this upcoming summer?

    But yeah… don’t like that lol. Dinwiddie for the rest of the year would be cool, but unless he really impresses I think there would be wiser uses of the TPMLE just based on the roster construction needs

    And this is why I like DLO:

    He could get defensive, after all Dinwiddie can theoretically reduce his and AR minutes or even start in place of one or the other... but he says the above.

    but if we play them WITH TP, it will probably work out really well

    Spencer for peanuts would be the basketball gods showing us some mercy IMO. Lol.

    Would be a nice get for Rob and the front office.

    He wanted to get paid in crypto currency, in Brooklyn.

    Yes!!! This is a great get for the Lakers. Dinwiddie is solid and he’ll cook second units if he runs our second unit.

    I like this acquisition better than trading for Murray because we gave up nothing and I do want to save assets to make a run at trading for Donavan Mitchel this summer.

    You have Slick blocked. I quoted him right above the Magic clip. He also replied to you just now. Stop being a wuss LOL.

    “Dinwiddie moves differently, I think he was talking about getting paid, in bitcoin in Brooklyn.”

    Now on to another potential get…

    Robin Lopez is expected to be bought out by the Kings. Is he cooked, or just not getting minutes behind Brook and still worth picking up on the buyout market?

    We need at least an option for some size at center

    We have too many bodies.

    House, Morris, Gallo, RoLo or even Thadd Young would each address a need but we'd have to cut someone to make that happen. That would surprise me at this point.
