Omer Asik: HE GONE!

[nwfisch]

I bet one of them gets amnestied, probably Asik is the more likely candidate

Teams can't amnesty a player they sign. They had to have been on the roster at the beginning of the new CBA.

That's not how amnesty works. It's for players signed or acquired before July 2011.

This thing is so confusing so there will be no amnesties whatsoever in a few years?

i honestly dont get the rule that a team that makes an offers for a RFA has the ability to restructure the contract they offer to a way that suits them, but the team that has the RFA has to take whatever contract is on the table, with no flexibility in terms of restructuring

i understand it may be because the other team made an offer first, but that's way too much leverage and room and defeats the purpose of a free agent being restricted..i guess it's in hindsight, and you can't blame teams for intuitively taking advantage of a crappy rule...

Every owner signed off on the new CBA. That's a rule in there now. They have no one to blame but themselves.

I always felt that a 2nd round RFA's should come with a supplementary draft pick, with the pick being no higher than the # selected for the player signed. Houston still could back-load all of the salaries they wanted, but after they would sign one player, they would have to post-date the next pick for the next draft, and continue to lose their picks, one season at a time. If that player was undrafted, like Lin, then New York would have gotten the 60th pick next season. We would have gotten houstons 2014 2nd rounder, no higher than the 36th overall.

who said i wasn't calm? lulz

i'm just making a point here...

i saw what you're getting at

You denied not being calm...


but you didn't deny being my buddy.

 

[Firefight]

Pretty much.

It may be cheers and popping champagne now... but in 3 years when they realize that over 50% of their cap is taken up by Lin and Asik, there will be lots of tissue and "what the **** were we thinking" type of statements.

Not that I'm defending the signings, but Houston can structure the contracts different than NY or Chicago could have. If either NY or we signed these guys, that third year would have been a huge cap hit...but Houston can spread that money out over the three years and not have so much money tied up in 2 guys in that third year.
Again, still bad contracts, but not as bad as it would have been if either original team matched.
