OKC is paying $300 million for their team next year (NBA record)

[El Bombi]

Be one of of the richest single owners in the league, a real players owner, and hustle hard to end up with DeAndre Jordan (2nd time's the charm) lol

 

[SHO-NUFF]

So, I guess he only wanted one, lol

@Houston911 @Loose Remember in the old CBA, if a team was past the luxury tax threshold, they could cut a player & they wouldn't have to pay the luxury tax for that player (That cut player would still get the rest of his money)? Does this rule still exist in the current CBA? If it does, I gotta imagine Melo is gonna get cut this summer.

You talking bout the amnesty?

They'll look stupid and inept if they don't get out of the first round again.

They look stupid and inept now. They have the highest paid roster and will never win a championship with it.

I think, that's what it was called.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

none of those teams are going to win a ring.

It's not these other teams fault that KD didn't want to compete and Boogie got emotional.

They have two options. They can either put the best team they can on the floor and hope an injury or something happens or they can just gut the team and pay zero in salary.

If I was an owner I'd be tanking and pocketing the cash

 

[OC's finest]

fukked up they could have had Harden, Durant, Westbrook - 3 MVPs still on the roster if they weren't being cheap back with Harden's deal

Now they're paying the highest bill in NBA history and still have nothing to show for it. Pathetic

This...they shudve opened up their wallet when they had the pieces

They just paying bums now lol

Amnesty is gone but I liked it, I wish they brought it back

They got Playoff P....

 

[AtomicUse]

Should the season be cancelled? Teams shouldn't try to make moves for the future??

It's an egregious waste of time and money to sign and pay players, just to routinely get eliminated in the playoffs.

Who wants to see Carmelo chuck 3's in 2018 just to lose all season. You can draft some bums out of college to rack up losses and let them actually get some playing experience and save hundreds of millions of dollars.

So don't even try then? Loser mentality..
