Surprising he signed right away.

Deandre to Mavs - 1 year $24MM

Ariza to true Sun - 1 year $15MM (Takes Lee trade out of the equation)

Doug McBuckets to Pacers - 3 year $22MM (very surprising signing)

Baynes to stay with Celtics - 2 years $11MM

CP3 - 4 years $160MM

Lakers look like there striking out again, has to open up things for Lebron in Philly.

Yep, those max contracts for players over 30s are cap killers

PG staying raises questions about Irving coming here, and also piles on the pressure for the Lakers to do a spurs trade for Leonard

Not sure why George signed for 4 years...He should have signed a 1 year deal (1 +1) like Durant and he would have earned more money next year, 44 mil, because he is a 10 yr vet...additionally, I wouldnt trust Russ as my running mate if im seriously trying to win a chip...

Exactly, at his current age and his injury history, that's a terrible deal.

There are maybe 2 players I'd consider paying $40mm over the next 4 years. MAYBE. And that's Curry and Durant (Lebron too old for 4 years).
But probably not even them. How do you fill the rest of the roster?

Well it's Chris Paul. I definitely know one team and a set of fans that would unhesitatingly trade multiple first round draft picks to acquire him by trade two years from now. He just needs to let it be known he wants to be a Knick after he is completely broken down.

I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates

I hope those that tantrum when we don't sign high profile Fa's take note of the Lakers--it's just not that easy, even when it's the home time team AND the prospect of playing with LeBron. No need to take it so personally or be convinced it's due to your GM being inept

too much for CP and PG. They will regret those deals.

That is too much money for Paul. Also, losing Ariza really hurts the Rockets. I am a bit surprised that Morey gave Paul that kind of money this late in his career. That deal has the potential to be one of the worst contracts in the league in a year or two. Not a typical Morey move.

It's a money chase. With a 3+1, he opts out of the 4th year and gets a bigger max at 30. Generally, NBA players are really good until about 32 so the last 2 years of that are ugly, but you get the pmayer.

Durant will opt out next year and get a supermax from Golden State. With LeBron being 33, this would be the year to take a supermax with the over 38 rule.

Essentially, the CBA is working as it should. The result is going to be the collapse of the middle market salary for players. Players on good teams are going to be max players, exception players or minimum players. Other than that it'll be expensive 1-year deals like Ariza.

Rookie scale deals and perfect timing. You need to get 5 or 6 first rounders within a 3 year span. If you can do that you might be able to have enough depth to weather a contract like that

Not with awful teams like the Knicks willing to give Hardaway Jr 75 million over 4 years

Was pretty sure PG was a goner, considering their chances of getting past several Western teams. Curious to see what happens with Melo. Buyout, or maybe add another star, and send him to the bench.

Most definitely. Too bad our front office doesn't seem to understand that and has used cap space to sign veterans we want gone in a year, rather than leveraging it for more draft picks.

The Lakers, on the other hand, have operated like an intelligent franchise. They've built a compelling supporting cast of lottery and late first round picks they amassed over a short period of time. Even without a "star", they managed to be a 10th seed in a very deep Western Conference and still have the ability to improve from within. So if they ever do manage to sign that franchise-changing player or two, they can still keep they base they've already assembled to field a legitimate roster.

The Lakers built a "compelling supporting cast?" Really?
