nikka cap space is not a factor for the Nets. They have a owner thats worth 15 billion. Whats an extra 25 mill tax every year. He made that in a day last week. Dwight will be a Net either now of next summer.


nikka the thing is they still can't sign him. They have to trade for him. :youngsabo: That's why they have a salary cap.

They have to have cap space avaliable to offer him a max contract or they have to trade for him. Where did this give lopez the max talk come from though? he's still restricted for this season.

you can go over cap, you just have to pay a tax.

"Mikhail Prokhorov had a good day Thursday. According to the Forbes Real Time Billionaire Tracker, he made $26.37 million or almost enough to pay for Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace's salaries next season...in a day! Its that kind of wealth and the willingness to spend it that separates Prokhorov from most NBA owners ... and those who previously controlled the Nets."

I'm playing devils advocate on the lopez deal he is to me the 2nd best low post scoring C with Bynum being the best :mjpls: but he ain't worth the Max 4 yr 46-48 million yep.

You can only go over the cap to sign the players you have currently on your team. They can only attain Howard via trade. They can't outright sign him.

Brooks needs to hit the boards tho.

Granted it was only 5 games, but 3.8 boards? :scusthov:

Exactly to be great again you have to hit rock bottom and get a few really high picks,Nuggets got some good players but will be stuck as a lower seeded playoff team for the forseeable future with no star

If the Hornets took that original deal dumb nikkas here loved theyd have won 40 games and be stuck in mediocrity like a team like the Rockets

nikkas here claim to be huge bball fans but never see the big picture

i guess stern pulling strings never happened then?:leon:
