"Portland will see their current luxury tax bill drop from $48.3M to $4.4M"
$44m ... a year ... in their pockets isn't great?
My point is they could have accomplished that by not matching last offseason- now they have an extra $3mil for no gain. Unless they pull off a melo related deal with the rockets
No, they made a terrible 2016 deal.
But a great 2017 one.
deal sucks for everyone. Nets get a young player who can shoot the 3. So could Jose Calderon. The guy does nothing else, and he doesnt shoot it enough to move the needle. $19mm a year for this guy. He doesnt take it to the hole. The biased covered of Crabbe vs. Hardaway is spot on. Knicks are stupid for overpaying. Nets are smart for creating something out of nothing. Blazers are smart for saving money... the savings they lost because they agreed to an $80mm contract for a role player.
I don't get the thing where people can't regard transactions for what they are. Portland can't hold onto mistakes trying to justify the original move.
They made a huge mistake last year. No argument.
They got out of a very large portion of it this year.
It is good for them in 2017.
Last year's signing was terrible.
This year's trade was great.
Both things can be true at he same time.
there is nothing great about undo-ing your own mistake. This is a no brainer deal for Portland... I certainly agree on that. Does this make them a better BB team? Make them younger? A better future? None of that. Its a cap move to undo a prior phuck up. Not impressed.In your opinion, is this a better transaction for the Nets than the THjr signing was for the KNicks?
So it wouldn't be great if we found someone we could just dump Noah's contract on?
No that would be sad. It would be much better for the Knicks if he could get healthy.
It might be approaching idiotic analogies, but...It would have been much better if we actually got the Seattle playoffs Jerome James.
It would have been much better if we got the baby Shaq Eddy Curry.
Noah had a brief flash of rebounding brilliance, but being injured two or three times and then getting suspended is enough for me. Our blessed media is deeming the DRose Knick experiment a failure, I think you have enough now to do the same to Noah's "tenure".
It would be great if we could find someone to dump Noah on and get Robin Lopez back somehow. Improves us instantly and would allow Mills to pitch another loaf into Phil's latte.
Crabbe is 25, healthy, and seen as a rising talent by nets who paired with D'angelo and given a solid role could be a good player.
One that is over paid, but a good player.
In time his contract due to inflation might be reasonable if he plays up.
To rid of Noah and "Dump him" are you willing to give up a player or a first round pick?
Crabbe is an asset. Noah if he does not heal is a liability . Crabbe is not a liability.
Portland can correct a mistake (still stretching 21 million) because crabbe can play, is young and healthy.
Knicks can dump Noah because________________?
1. You wannit to happen?
2. Because its a good idea when half baked?
3. Obscure writing style makes it not a factual statement, but a fashion statement?
