That's wrong, so consider yourself corrected :D Contracts are not allowed to take a big jump in salary like that from year to year, unless it's...
No, it's worse than that. 1. The final team getting the player must be under the apron AFTER the sign-and-trade. So just because a team is...
History is useless here. Starting with the coming off-season, sign and trade rules will be different. Last summer was your last chance to do the...
Yes, I remember them saying earlier in the year that they needed to monitor Asik and Lin's minutes. I'm assuming the Jeremy situation was due to...
Here's an example from http://www.alpern.com/tax-professional-athletes So the portion of an athlete's income earned in a particular state...
Yes, it's true. There's a special sports law that's designed exactly for athletes who travel from state to state.
No, I doubt it. First of all, the tax benefit only applies to home games, so on away games, you still have to pay tax for income earned at...
Well, Spaniards and Berber tribes have fought each other in the past, haven't they?
Not crazy, both stem from the same thing, pace. Fast pace means more good and more bad. More possessions for both sides. More points scored as...
I don't think anyone would argue about Harden being a better player than Lin right now. I'm not comparing them, just responding to an early post...
I haven't read through all 16 pages, so I'm not sure if this point has already been addressed. But if not, perhaps I can shed some light on this...
Not all of them are quite as convoluted as that. Some are rather straight forward. Most points in first X starts. That's the way records are....
I think the key would be to translate the assets into more liquid value, like he did by changing Lowry into a lotto pick for Harden (or Dwight)....
Well played :D Unfortunately, I don't think either of them are on the market right now and I don't think Morey has the assets (either of...
I believe Harden is on track to beat Houston's record for most consecutive games with 25+ pts held by Moses Malone, but he's certainly not yet...
I think there's isn't enough playing time for all the guys at 4 right now. Some of them will have to be moved. Morey's best hope is to...
Harden is certainly the better player of the two right now. And I'm certainly not saying that Jeremy Lin necessarily has more upside than James...
Any word on whether he will sign a D-League contract with the Vipers and stay around? I don't think he'll get picked up off waivers, based on his...
Yes, he's currently valuable to the team due to the need he fills in the roster, and I think he's a good guy. But I don't think he fits Morey's...
The locker room chemistry last year was totally different from this year as well. Last year, you had T-Will sulking on twitter (I guess Royce is...
