2016-2017 NBA Free Agency/Offseason Thread

[El Guapo]

Good thing Masai signed JV last year. Homie would've probably got 20-22 mill a year today.

Somebody answer this for me.

1. How much did the cap go up?

2. What leads to an increase in cap (ie. Commissioner allows it now, more sales from popcorn, etc)?

1. Cap went from $70 M to $94 M and will go to 107 M for the 2018 season.

2. They got a multi-billion dollar TV deal that kicks in and that's why it increased.

1. So at this moment Derozan's contract is worth 30% of the Raptor's total cap?

2. With that deal every team owner gets a percentage or something?

Raps in 6


Blow it up..

We relying on dunking to determine how good a player is now?

Noah is an great defender and the perfect passer which is what Phil wants. Y'all getting hyped off a few blocks biyombo had in the offs against the cavs. Talk about of the moment.

What are you talking about, there are several posters on here who have been saying Biyombo was elite defensively before he was on the Raptors. I was even in your damn Knick thread last year saying yall should sign him

He's one of the best young interior defenders in the league, you could pair him with Porzingis.


These are the type of players the Knicks should be looking for, young guys that could be bargains. Bismack's problem isn't that he's 6'9" it's that he's pretty bad on offense, and the Hornets couldn't play him because of their lack of shooting and Al Jefferson needing space in the post.

Former lottery pick that could be an elite interior presence, and pull down 10-12rpg to go along with 2bpg.

Your frontcourt is set for the next decade with him and Porzingis.

You're caught up in the name, Biyombo is an elite interior defender, his rim protection numbers blow Noah's out the water and have for a while now, last season the gap between was laughable. And we won't even get into how Noah has been finishing at the rim like Ricky Rubio the last 2 seasons, you did this same shyt with Kurt Rambis, I told you he was a terrible coach and you said he wasn't and he deserved a chance. You gotta stop just for everything the Knicks do.

I knew his game on offense was ass, but finishing at rates like bricky Rubio?

Biyombo is 23*; anchored a top-10 defense (technically 11th) and was arguably a top-5 rim protector last season + has a clean bill of health. Noah is 31; has noticeably declined on both ends and has a # of health concerns.

@Soundwave I think you might need to bring out dem thangs.

he played 20mins a game last year, to say dude anchored their defense is a bit of a stretch, when dude barely played. dude gonna get paid based off the cavs series. elite defender but lets see him play starter minutes before we start calling him an anchor. you are putting him on the same level of a ben Wallace when you call him an anchor

I'm 25. Imagine I got a girl pregnant in the 9th grade at 15.

At age 33-34 my kid gets drafted.

He finishes his rookie contract when I'm 37.

He gets a max deal while his father is in his mid 30s .

 

[KRiLL (+)]

Mozgov will make more then Steph Curry next season...

[Darealtwo1]

We didn't give him the full max, so there's that.

#DETHRONETHEKING

yup if I'm Kyle Lowry I'm doing the same thing John Wall should do.

I AIN'T PLAYING NO MORE TILL Y'ALL REDO MY CONTRACT

Haren and Klay gotta be hot af seeing another 2 guard get that moolah
