Now Joe Johnson too? Man Dan Gilbert is ready to cut some serious luxury tax checks. Unless Bron is coming back on a One Dollar salary.
Dragic, Wade, Winslow, Bosh, and Whiteside could be an incredible starting five. I certainly wouldn't favor them in any capacity due to their health, but they could definitely compete. Certainly need to be healthy though. Also curious to see how Whiteside keeps progressing, dude looks like a monster.Really don't get the Heat love. Wade is always hurt, they missed the playoffs last year, terrible on D, etc. I'm looking at Milwaukee and Toronto. Assuming Atlanta and Washington take a step back.
The veteran's minimum. Pretty sure you can always sign someone to the minimum even if you're over the cap.Uh so the Spurs are going after David West hard.. how the hell can they afford him too? I mean I know Duncan is taking a huge pay cut but damn
They also might still have the taxpayer's exception which is something like $3M. Still definitely under West's current value but maybe winning would be important enough to him at this stage in his career.Uh so the Spurs are going after David West hard.. how the hell can they afford him too?

Even if they get Hi-bert?! You crazy, maan? I think you mean ESPECIALLY if they get Hi-bert. That dude is done. Like he can barely ride the bench with the same effectiveness as Bynum managed.Lakers sure are gunning for another shitty year. Even if they get Hibbert and Bass they won't make the playoffs. Getting rid of Swaggy P will help even if to just free up some money.
I don't see West opting out of his one year 12.6 million deal and signing for league minimum or even close to it. He will command at least 7 - 8 mil a season I would thinkThe veteran's minimum. Pretty sure you can always sign someone to the minimum even if you're over the cap.
Interesting that the Raptors signed Joseph after taking a PG in the draft. Not sure how I feel about him and that contract. I know everything is set to blow up next year, but 4 years at 30 million seems like a lot for someone that's never averaged more than 7 points per game.
Would only be a thing if he wanted to play for someone like the Spurs for a short while and go somewhere when the cap goes large.I don't see West opting out of his one year 12.6 million deal and signing for league minimum or even close to it.

I get that he'd be on the decline another year, but he'd still get more than the veteran minimum.West isn't really going to demand anything larger when the cap goes up. I know the relative worth of a player will raise, but David West will also be a year declined. Dude is 34 and has made 88 mil over his career. Does he want more money, or a chance at winning a championship?
