Wade, Bosh & Haslem all OPT OUT

[Serious]

Only one on the books is Norris Cole.

Blazers could use a backup center

I'm no expert but i dont see the big 3 taking less than $10 MM per. Lebron deserves the max though. Crazy that son been in the L 10 strong....

This is what I could see:

Lebron: $10 MM
Bosh: $10 MM
Wade: $10 MM
Carmelo: $10 MM
Cole: $2 MM
Haslem: 1.5 MM
Allen: 1.5 MM
Birdman: 1.5 MM

You got a cap of $58,679,000.
IF all this happened you're left with $12,179,000 to sign 4 more players for about $3 MM each before you touch the cap. Hell, you could give the big 4 2 more MM each and you're left with $4 million. They could probably pull this shyt off for $65 million, about $8 MM over the cap significantly less than what they did the last 3 years. Then you have Napier...so that leaves you with id say 3 players with 8 or 9 mill to use.

Just my opinion.....

From what I've gathered about super teams...

It's "ok" if the team assembles them. It's "not ok" if the players decide to team up. Even though the end result is the same.

I'd bring him back on a one year contract.

Of course they were gonna opt-out; it only makes them FAs. The hard part is agreeing to a contract. The only question mark was Wade. Now that he's opted out, he's gonna take less to stay in Miami.

I wish people would stop saying "guaranteed money". It's the NBA; all of the contracts are guaranteed. It seems like they have been wording the contracts differently since last CBA, but in the past they rarely ever counted the "PO/TO" year. Another thing is that ish like this really pisses off the PA and the vets. You are eliminating all of the vets bargaining power, and making it harder for the non-5 superstars to really get put in good contractual situations. The PA are not happy about this, guaranteed. Neither will the other small market teams.

Now lets look at this realistically...Haslem signs for 3M, that leaves 52 for the other 3 which is 17 per. If they go for an average of 14M, you really think their help wants 10M? And what about the rest of the roster?

Them same nikkas who dream of their downfall? FOH!

I'm all for no salary cap. Not because of wanting LeBron to have better teammates but in general I don't like the idea of players having to take paycuts so in the end they can make billionaire owners more money and MAYBE get a gold ring in return as if it makes up for the millions they lost.

Coaches & GM's never have to take paycuts because they don't have a salary cap. Players don't get that same respect. And watch when the next CBA discussions come up, these same cac billionaire owners will try to get even more salary cap limitations added.

The salary cap isn't there to help the owners. Anyone who owns a sports franchise, it is supplement income. Believe that. However, the salary was instituted to not have all the talent going to one team because they believed nikkas were too selfish and greedy to even consider less money than what another would pay them.

This is revolutionary. Brothers hating on that are doing the devil's work.

At a 65% discount? He can make $54 Million over 4 years assuming the big 3 take paycuts of at least $5-6 million per year each (BTW slightly less than a third of an already discounted contract they signed in 2010). Knicks can offer him $130 Million for 5 years, the Heat don't have any assets that they can trade to NY for a sign and trade. I don't care how much money you have and how thirsty for a championship you are but that just doesn't make sense to me.

Ok cool. But my thing is if Melo signs with them and they win a ring or two doesn't that look less glamorous in the fans eyes? You needed to team up with 3 other superstars to win? Why not go somewhere grind it out and win? Nikkas want the quick easy way out for a ring just so their "legacy" is solid.

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

why Bosh would opt out and take a pay cut idk. Another team would give him the max right now. fukk winning, he's already got two rings. More money nikka.

He likes Miami.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Whatever it takes to buy more championships

fukk outta here with this bogus team of desperate players

You sound dumb as fukk

What person says that they want an Easy way out? that grind it out bullshyt is nonsense

 

[Ronnie Lott]

I thought opting out was putting yourself on the free agent market meaning you wanted to play somewhere else...

No

 

[Ronnie Lott]

these nikkas are a disgrace to employees everywhere

Explain how

 

[Ronnie Lott]

fukk dying and coming back as a some superstar player/product.

Make me an owner Black Wavy Jesus.

Lmao at these players. I have no respect for their organization methods. Just play ball slaves.

Do you think they've give a fukk about "your respect"
