The only wild card in play here are two facts: (1) You cant trust Riley! (2) Hornets Owner Shinn is a wimp and a tightwad who wants out. Not only does he want out, but he wants out with his money back + interest!! Can't trust this combonation!! I read somewhere that the Heat have about 15 mil left to fill out the team. If they were to pick up Paul at 10 which is stupid low for a guy that good they would still have to fill out the rest of the roster. Then figure in that it would have to be a sign and trade are they going to field a team with 7 or 8 guys? on nba tv they said that the heat had 8m and were going to give mike miller 4m of that. http://www.nba.com/video/chann...00710_gametime1.nba/

Take the hit in the first year and move on. I've read that term "front loaded" a lot this week. What exactly does that mean? It means it's heavier on the front than on the back, the same as front-loaded means when it's used to describe anything. More money the first year, less money at the end of the contract. I forget, what percentage does it have to be within each year? Isn't it something like 15%? There's a rule for maximum raises per year. I don't know if there even IS a maximum decrease per year. I can't imagine there is. there is. To prevent weird situations the maximum decrease is 8%. It operates exactly like a regular contract just paid in reverse. In that case, if the deal is really 19 over 3, the deal is most likely 6.84m, 6.33m, 5.83m, with whatever signing bonus Chicago throws out included in the first year. This comes from fanhouse "J.J. Redick, the Duke product lottery pick who broke out in Orlando over the last two seasons, signed an offer sheet with the Chicago Bulls Friday. The offer is worth $19 million over three years, and is said to be frontloaded, which would put the cash output in 2010-11 at roughly $8.5 million. (The cap impact would be just $6 million.) It'd take a small miracle (or at least a couple painful trades) for the Magic to get under the luxury tax threshold next season. As such, matching the Redick offer would end up adding $6 million onto the team's tax bill, in addition to the $8.5 million paid in salary to the guard." http://nba.fanhouse.com/2010/0...for-new-homes/#cntnt

"On top of that, I would not be shocked if OS went ahead and traded Gortat to Chicago for Luol Deng, which would have to include some other pieces here and there to make it work financially" in order to get wade, bosh, and bron chicago would have to let deng go for nothing in return. "Since the Bulls are $3.5M short of two maximum salaries right now, a move that sent Luol Deng elsewhere bringing nothing back would give Chicago approximately $7.855M in cap room to work with beyond the space allocated for the second max free agent. As such, we could take this value off the top of the $13,155,126. Doing so, the Bulls could work a sign-and-trade for the third max free agent that includes around $5,299,276 or more in salary. While the non-Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah Bulls (Taj Gibson and James Johnson) make less than this figure combined, Chicago could use a sign-and-trade of one of their current players like Brad Miller to do it. Using a current player allows the team to use Bird rights to re-sign that guy while not using up the space needed to sign the second max contract." http://bulls.realgm.com/articl...e_keeping_rose_noah/

"according to sources" the magic will have bosh, boozer, amare, paul, okafur and agent 0. thats a big eighth of an inch. if players can only get a true max contract to stay with their team, why would ny, miami, nj, and chicago empty their roster? yes, it gives them cap space, but if a player wants to come to your team he has to take a 30 million dollar paycut. why not build your roster with descent talent and good contracts, so when that player comes knocking, you have the ability to do a sign and trade. this to me is a no brainer. what player in their right mind takes a 30 million dollar paycut? its about the money and it will always be about the money. "according to me" teams such as dallas, and orlando would have a better chance to land a top free agent, IF that free agent demanded a trade such as bosh. teams can sign and trade their players for nothing (like how we got lewis) no matter what happens all the main guys are going to get a full max contract through s&t a future conditional second round draft pick. i did not know this... thanks

mixed emotions on Portlands boards http://www.iamatrailblazersfan...abid/55/Default.aspx

Ric buchuer said, about 20 min ago, that he still had reserves about Hedo signing with Portland. The deal is there 5 yr 52m, but he didn't want to say it was a done deal.

So I would expect Ariza in Clev. now that Artest is in L.A. idk though, i mean all Cleveland can offer Ariza is the MLE, but Ariza didn't accept the MLE from LA (where he grew up and where he just won a championship) so I think he's looking for about 8 mil I just read that whoever doesn't sign Hedo Portland or Toronto will offer their money to Ariza. If Portland takes Hedo then Ariza can move to Canada and get paid or take the MLE in Clev.

And Artest but I guess Artest is in L.a. http://www.realgm.com/src_wire..._iverson_and_artest/
