Everything Derozan

[Apollo]

Maybe it's just a smoke screen for something bigger I don't know with masai he always says something and does something else

What could be bigger than giving him a big contract? I mean realistically here? LBJ and Durant aren't coming.

[DanH]

I know that, but the original question was can we sign Biyombo and DeRozan and stay under the cap. The answer to that is no unless we were to start trading away more than just Ross. As soon as we re-signed DeMar we'd be over.

Yeah, but why do you care if we stay under the cap after signing both of them? Even if we could sign DD to a 15M deal, we'd only be a couple million under the cap which is essentially valueless.

We don't care I was just answering the question properly.

Only if we trade Ross for no returning salary (or make another such trade dumping salary).

DanH. Thanks for info as always.

Dan, how many times can you answer the same question? Your patience is inspiring lol

It should just be his sig at this point.

Someone posted this in the offseason thread, but some perspective for those who think DeMar making 25M a year is insane. The money in 2017 gets even crazier



He'd be making like 60% of what the 2017 max guys are going to be getting if we can sign him to a flat 25M per year deal.

Wow these numbers are insane

[Apollo]

It's like baseball.

[Billy103]

45.7 million a season wow. Demar at 25 million for 5 years doesn't sound that bad once you look at what super max players are getting paid.

Kev's five year forecast:

[DanH]

Well, guys, hold up. Yes, Durant will be able to make that much. But that's not what DeRozan's group will potentially be making. They would be another 5M less than that per year or so. Durant is in that sweet spot where he is hitting 10 years service at the same time as the cap peaks (artificially).

So typical max guys (not rookie max, not supermax like Durant, guys with 6-9 years experience) will be looking at about 33-35M per year on average. While DeMar's contract this summer will work out to 28M (if he signs with another team) or 30M (if he signs with us) per year. So, yes, less, but let's not compare apples and oranges. It's a 5M difference, not 25M versus 45M.

half the league should try taking pages from Pierces book.

Re the idea of re-signing DD so we can trade him. IF Ujiri soft talks him into taking less than max couldnt/shouldnt DD get a no trade clause? Pretty sure a player wouldnt want to be told we love you so much this is your home sign for less then trade him to Minnesota or wherever.
