Mosgov And Deng Situation

Why does rage need to be white?



Asking for a friend.

 

Sigh.....always trying to start something. White "hot". Even Julius understands this. Right big guy? Well s*** maybe not.

 

I'm not implying that the 1st rounder is the deal breaker, but if a team has a player on the go, and needs a serviceable player, the draft pick sweetens the deal.

 

I still think Parson's 4 year 94 mil is the worst. He's better off being a 7th man, backup playing about 16-17 minutes a game

 

I never found Parsons to be that great of a player in Houston but he was a fairly solid starter good for 15-16ppg 5rpg 3apg 1spg 37-38% on threes. It's amazing how badly his health has seriously derailed his career as of late. He's utter garbage this season.

That said, if he can get back to being healthy next season (and stay that way), he is more likely to come close to earning the next 3 years of his contract than most others who got questionable long term deals last summer.

 

Count me as one of those who wanted parsons but even at his current state and pay, i still think there's a better chance he plays up to his old self and at least live up a bit to his contract than deng playing up to his mia days

 

Not to keep throwing flames on Mitch and Jim but I just now started thinking amnesty and remembered that they also wasted our only amnesty on Metta's 2 year 7 mil remaining contract (14mil total). There is no amnesty in this new cba. And they used it early in the CBA which is not when you use your amnesty unless you are 100% sure you know you won't have a bigger lame contract later on. Any single year of the 4 years total we have either of Moz/Deng would be more than the total amount we amnestied Metta for. We're not on the new cba yet. We could have got rid of Deng this summer and saved 53 mil off the cap for the next 3 years. When we start hitting the tax, that's gonna be really relevant.

If we had that amnesty now, we could kill Deng's contract and somehow find something to do with Moz. Things would look better. Either stretch or in a few years use him as the money piece in a youth-for-star trade. Won't happen for a couple years though when his contract is a little more bearable to teams. No one is taking him right now unless he was just absolutely ballin' for us.

We have to face the fact that Mitch and Jim did us a liquid and we are dealing with these guys for at least a few years if not the full length of their contracts. We could start on a stretch now and get that ball rolling.

 

make them work the concession stands in the 300 sections...they need a lot of help up there..it takes them forever to get me a tray of nachos, popcorn and beer

 

I may be wrong but I think the amnesty didn't work on players sign on the new (current) CBA.

 

The new CBA is not in effect yet. They just now reached an agreement on what it will be. This most recent agreement will start with the 2017–18 season.

The massive increases in the cap due to the new NBA tv deals are what injected so much money and caused the spending sprees. We could have the amnesty to use still if we had not used it already.

 

I should have been more clear. I'm not talking about the one that starts in 2017-18, I'm talking about the CBA we are currently in. The one they agreed upon in 2011. The amnesty provision only worked on old contracts, not new ones signed under the 2011 CBA.

pretty sure amnesty only exists for contracts signed before the provision is introduced. deng and moz could only be amnestied if there was a new cba during the life of their contracts that included such a clause. thus, not happening. was never happening.

anyway, there's nothing to be done. no way i'm attaching an asset to shed salary, especially given how s***tily the lakers have fared in FA when they DID have cash to spend. best to hope to use them as back end rotation players (maybe even that's asking too much) and then be prepared to use them as trade ballast in their final year.

it hurts, but this one's over. don't throw good money after bad.

 

Yeah ok thanks, that's the bit that I had forgotten. Old contracts only. It's been so long since we had one to use I couldn't remember that detail. Anyways, no matter now, we are stuck with these contracts and have to figure out some other way. Just really disappointed in Mitch for having offered them in the first place. hate to remember him by his last move, rather think about something like Pau but even that could be said to be luck and his connection with Jerry West. I mean he had just traded Caron Butler for Kwame freakin' Brown and we were lucky Memphis wanted that expiring, ok ok, I know, let it go ....

 

you dont know how frustrating it is to be waiting for beer while i miss our team go from 10 down to 25 down...
