Some other posts have made this point with more support, but most owners are pretty serious about avoiding the tax for the most part and...
I think there are valid beefs with Tilman and ymmv on how bad you think those are, but so far nothing he's done in terms of decision making...
This is the kind of stuff cited that's just ridiculous. You think Tilman should have been able to keep an assistant from taking a promotion to a...
I started the other Tilman defense thread but I'll be more neutral in this one. I think the CF complaints about spending on team payroll may have...
Milwaukee also really liked him and he was really developing at that point and by all accounts was a very hard worker. But his 3 point shot wasn't...
Definitely agree that Miller doesn't tip the scales in the 2014 finals. But Miller provided a key skill in the 2013 finals (floor spacing) and was...
Russ losing schadenfreude is kind of nice, so in a way this is a bummer. But the Nets struggling should simultaneously make Harden less likely to...
Miller played about 25 minutes a game in the previous finals and shot 11 for 18(!) from 3 in the finals. The next year when Memphis took OKC to 7...
Most of it was under the old CBA. Apples to Oranges. I don't think we'd have paid the tax under Tilman for Ariza under the old CBA. I also don't...
I brought up the examples of Arison basically doing the same things as the owner when the Heatles were playing for him. If you're beef is Tilman...
We seem to be arguing past each other about what "should" means. I'm not arguing as an abstract value judgment on what someone is supposed to do....
The Heat's total tax bills in their history is like $50 million. It was different under the old CBA and when the new CBA rules came into effect...
Factoring in the tax impacts, Ariza's deal would have ultimately close to like $40 million though right since it would have pushed us into the...
The expiring just has value in that you can maybe get a somewhat better player with more years on their (probably bad) deal or maybe attach assets...
Washington got killed for that trade and only made it because of the complete cluster with the wrong Brooks trade that fell apart. Being able to...
The Rockets thought they had Harden for many more years. No one thought CP3 would fall off a cliff the next season and have what at the time...
Got it Murray!
I think we've probably come close to running our course for the night, but it seems like you have a pretty different standard for Grousbeck...
Yeah. The main premise of the thread was a sort of counter to the general narrative about Tilman and the tax. Part of the thread though was also...
Draymond actually played 18 minutes against Portland (0 points, 4 boards, 4 assists). I'm sure he's getting back into game shape but I also don't...
