So Darko's due 5 mill this season. If the Wolves amnesty him and say Miami pick him up at 2 mill a season. Then I think the difference (3 mill) is what counts against the cap. There's a good chance I'm wrong, but I think I read that somewhere. I think that's how it works in relation to the cap. Not sure if it's the same for the salary floor though. | ||

Unless the league makes much more income, even teams that have to spend more should get a refund due to the escrow. So even if they sign more contracts to make the minimum payroll, each contract should be reduced in face value. And they raised the league minimum to appease the rich owners who didn't want to see the Donald Stirlings siphon off their revenue sharing while being cheap. | ||

I don't remember I heard this but I think that that's right. So the Wolves can go ahead an amnesty Darko. Yes that sounds like what I read as well. In any case hopefully some exciting stuff this week ^^ | ||

If he can stay healthy for a season, my god the Heat will be so fucking good it's not even funny. http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2011/12/04/a-fresh-start-for-oden-in-miami/#?ls=iref:nbahpt1 That's a big if. If I were Oden I'd be trying to get as much money as I could before my 50-year old knees gave out. | ||

Everyone always says "If healthy, blah, blah, blah"--it isn't going to happen. Miami's better off taking a chance on someone like Brendan Haywood (if they can get a decent price) than signing Oden. | ||

Everyone always says "If healthy, blah, blah, blah"--it isn't going to happen. Miami's better off taking a chance on someone like Brendan Haywood (if they can get a decent price) than signing Oden. He'd be way cheaper than Haywood. Haywood will probably get 8-12 million a year over 4 years. Oden is getting his qualifying offer from the Blazers but that's the equivalent of a 1 year deal at 9 million dollars. The most he'd get from the Heat is the mid-level for about 3 years which is about 15-18 million over 3 years. I'm not saying he's worth the risk, I think he's done as a basketball player, but he is still relatively cheap, considering the price of NBA talent. EDIT: Oops, Haywood is only at 7.5 million. So Oden wouldn't be way cheaper, sorry. But he'd still be cheaper. But yeah, this makes Bob more right than me =P | ||

Teams that face long odds at winning should be taking high risk/high reward strategies. | ||

I hope I'm proven wrong and he stays healthy, but unless I'm getting a really good deal, guys like Oden just aren't worth it. | ||

Other than getting long in the tooth, nothing happened to him, he's a 6'0 player over 30. Small PG's wear down around this age with a couple exceptions (Nash, Stockton) | ||
