2015 NBA Finals Thread (Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavs)

Yea, on track...

I'm shocked with how bad the Warriors offense has looked in the finals thus far. Minus Curry going off in the 4th, they've looked awful as a whole.

 

[clonetrooper264]

He seems to be on track now. Too late for this game probs, but...

He needs that the whole game

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

LOL if they hadn't reviewed that....

 

[clonetrooper264]

And here I am thinking the Warriors would get a bad call in their favor

 

[Thunderfoot]

Their offense works with Lee in the game because he can score. Barnes/Green and Bogut have been useless.

 

[clonetrooper264]

Welp...time for the Warriors to wake up

 

[PolarBear]

Gotta get David Lee more involved.

 

[BNB]

Then again, the Warriors looked pretty shitty against MEM in games two and three.

 

[JZsportsfan]

On the positive side, the Warriors seemed to find themselves a bit there in the 4th quarter. I think they bounce back well in Game 4

I was yelling at Kerr to put in David Lee since the 2nd quarter. Kerr not a very good coach apparently. Cavs have no respect for anyone that sets a pick for Curry at the top of the key. Soon as Lee was in, Warriors went on their run since Lee can shoot, attack the basket, and pass. Then, Curry started to get more open looks which then started to fall.

Put the L on Steve Kerr for being an idiot.

Really? This is Steve Kerr's fault?

 

[Probie2429]

How is it not his fault? He could not adjust to the Cavs' decision to double Curry on the screens until it was pretty much too late.

So ball game & series. Ni way GSW wins 3-4 from LeBron.

 

[Bear06]

Cool. See you next season?

 

[Scoot26]

So what is the max Dellavedova can get paid next season?

 

[clonetrooper264]

So what is the max Dellavedova can get paid next season?

He'll be making as much as Jimmy Butler right?

 

[clonetrooper264]

Cavs will have like 5 max players next year: Lebron, Delly, Thompson, Kyrie, and Love!

Teams are limited in what they can offer an unrestricted free agent with two years or less experience. The maximum first-year salary in an offer sheet is the mid-level exception. The second-year salary can be raised a maximum of 4.5%. The third year salary is limited to the maximum a team has available in their salary cap. The salary in the fourth season may increase (or decrease) by up to 4.1% of the salary in the third season. The offer sheet can only increase in the third season if it provides the highest salary allowed in the first two seasons, the contract is fully guaranteed, and it contains no bonuses.[10][28] A player's original team can use the Early Bird exception or their Mid-Level exception to re-sign the player.[10]


If the raise in the third season is greater than 4.5% of the first year, the offering team must be able to fit the average of the entire contract under their cap. The accounting is different for the player's original team, where the player's salary for a given year—not the contract's average—is counted against the cap. In some cases, the offering team can exploit a loophole to create what is referred to as a poison pill for the player's original team, potentially forcing the original team to pay the luxury tax by the third season, as the Houston Rockets did in order to sign Jeremy Lin and Ömer Aşık away from the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls, respectively. This could discourage them from matching the offer sheet.[29][30]


Before the 2005 CBA, the original team could only use an exception to re-sign a player who had been drafted in the first round. The 2005 CBA allowed teams to use exceptions on non-first-round picks, with the extension named the "Gilbert Arenas Rule". In 2003, Gilbert Arenas, who had been a second-round pick in 2001, signed a six-year, $60 million contract with the Washington Wizards after his original team, the Golden State Warriors, were unable to match the offer since they were over the salary cap.[31]

I really don't know what that means for Delly.
