Bynum signed a two-year contract for $24.8 million with the Cavs, but only $6 million of it is guaranteed before Jan. 7. After that date, the full $12.25 million this season is guaranteed. Next season's $12.5 million is not guaranteed until July 10.In short, there is no other contract like this in the NBA at the moment. Not only has Bynum proved in spurts this season that he can be effective, but the Cavs also signed him to a contract that gives them or any team that trades for him lots of flexibility. He can be an instant money saver if the Cavs or a team that trades for him waives him before Jan. 7. He can be a rental for the rest of the season. Or he can be a trade chip heading into the draft and next summer because he can act as a salary purge option.

Was gonna save this for the stats thread once he was near 100 but Ryan Anderson missed his first ft of the year, now standing at a paltry 98% with 49-50.

― Spottie, Sunday, 29 December 2013 06:40 (ten years ago) link
yeah i thought he was probably good in the moment, i think he lost sense of where exactly he was after the jump, or maybe just a brain-freeze that hitting glass isn't against the rules

Ha guess Bosh kinda called that last play, <3 u, <3 Spo:
"My call at the end of the game was more conservative," Spoelstra said. "I drew something up to get him on the move and he said, ‘No, I want it for the 3.' So he overruled it and became a prophet."

Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri sat in the press room at Air Canada Centre minutes before tipoff Saturday night, dining on pasta and pizza.
Ujiri may as well have been dining on the Knicks’ carcass.
