Breakdown of the Steph Curry extension:2022-23: $48.0 million 2023-24: $51.9 million 2024-25: $55.7 million 2025-26: $59.6 million Rules of the CBA allow the first year salary to be 105% off the prior years salary even if it exceeds the maximum allowed ($41.6M).— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) August 3, 2021
i don’t think carmelo on the minimum is bad, the blazers relied on him too heavily but i think he’s shown he’s still a rosterable veteran wing player. malik monk as a KCP replacement is pretty great at least on offense, i’m surprised there wasn’t more interest in him he could have a few brynn forbes style playoff games

My main problem with what the lakers are doing is that this looks like a very very bad defensive team
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 19:36 (three years ago) link
god this looks like an even shittier version of the Kobe/Nash/Gasol/Dwight Lakers. i guess kudos for not doing the "well we might've won if not for injuries so lets just run it back" thing that never works

at the end of the day if you have a healthy lebron and anthony davis you’re gonna have a very good shot of winning your conference. the 2 best teams in the NBA are in the east, the lakers don’t have any insurmountable opponent to get back to the finals

this lakers team is gonna be top notch drama im here for it

i don’t think they have enough to win the title but i’m not gonna sit here and be like, well this team can’t beat phoenix or utah or denver

It’s too much money for derozan but they’re not giving up much in assets
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 20:21 (three years ago) link
they’re now out three firsts for nikola vucevic and demar derozan, couldn’t be me
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 3 August 2021 20:23 (three years ago) link
A protected first for a guy who averaged 22-4-7 last year actually isn’t much

a protected first and $85 million for 32 year old demar derozan is a lot, i'm not being convinced of otherwise

i liked derozan as a sixth man for someone but can't imagine they're paying him $27m per year to not start, so....

Waiting game with CollinsBy Sam AmickAugust 3, 2021 at 3:38 pmIt appears we have a John Collins waiting game unfolding in Atlanta.As has been reported elsewhere, the Hawks have a very healthy offer out to their restricted free agent that has yet to be accepted. Per sources with knowledge of the situation, it’s for five years and $125 million.So, why hasn’t Collins agreed to re-sign yet? Because as was the case last offseason, when he turned down a $90 million extension and wasn’t shy about the fact that he saw himself as a maximum salary player, he clearly sees his value differently than the Hawks. Again.Color me confused.This deal, if accepted, would not only be substantially more than what he was offered previously but would be the biggest yet on the 2021 free-agency market from a lump sum standpoint (Chris Paul’s $120 million deal with Phoenix would be second). In terms of average annual salary, the $25 million figure would be the third-highest (behind Paul’s $30 million and Kyle Lowry’s $30 million with Miami; Utah’s Mike Conley would be right behind Collins at $24.1 million).That’s some big-time cheddar for a player who averaged 17.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in the regular season, 13.8 points and 9.5 rebounds in the playoffs and -- to his credit -- was a pivotal piece of the team that shocked us all by getting to the East finals. It’s nowhere near the max deal that Trae Young finalized on Monday night, or that Collins himself could receive, but it’s still very substantial.What’s more, it remains to be seen where he might be able to get an offer sheet that’s any bigger. According to our in-house capologist, Danny Leroux, only Oklahoma City and San Antonio still have more than $20 million available in cap space. There also are no indications that either team is planning to add Collins. The Hawks, sources say, want to keep Collins and aren’t interested in sign-and-trade options at this time.So ... we wait.

OKC should offer him 4/80 and see if he accepts it for Galaxy brain reasons
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 23:05 (three years ago) link
5/125 is probably about right?
― pure rim rest (Spottie), Tuesday, 3 August 2021 23:05 (three years ago) link
spurs used up their cap space trading derozan, so its literally just okc now

drummond signing for the vet minimum, javale riding the bench for team USA, everyone trying to figure out how the nets might be able to dump deandre... a lukewarm summer for the matt armstrong all stars. alex len got a 2/7.5 deal from the kings tho so we'll put that in the W column

they need a backup without favours around. i guess they dumped favours to sign gay and will pick up whiteside on the cheap

jazz should probably have tried to get a stretch 4/5 like a patrick patterson type
