Mike Miller Joining Heat

[SevereUpInHere]

Now this I'm pissed about...

He would have been perfect for us. Damnit. We're in a kinda bad place cos our main assets Chandler and Gallinari both play the same position and earn so little it's hard to trade them for a equal value, ie decent SG, i really wanted Miller through free agency.

The three have to take about a 1.5 million dollar haircuts for this signing to happen.

I'm no expert on the cap but the only way I believe they are able to make major moves and still sign the big three to 3 max contracts is if wade does not sign his until they are finished filling in the roster. A player's team always has the ability to resign their own player no matter what, so is it possible that the heat can sign everyone they need to sign until they get right under the cap and then sign wade to his max????

I'm not absolutely positive on this that's why I'm asking.

Not true.

There is something called a 'caphold' in place for Wade's free agent rights.

Really... ****ers

Wade
Miller
Lebron
Bosh
Anthony?


They just need to get a banger at center and they are set.

I'm guessing Shaq will sign for the vets min now as well?

I'm not sure on this, otherwise why couldnt we sign Lee after going after everyone else? Wouldnt Miami have to renounce Wade's rights to sign the other guys? Im a complete amateur when it comes to the cap...

Miami is far enough under the cap to sign all three of them to max contracts, because the only player they have under contract is Mario Chalmers I believe. But if they sign Mike Miller all three of them will need to take a slight paycut to stay under the cap.

This was lock once Lebron committed to the Heat. Great signing.

[COLOR="Navy"]LBJ would play the PG. I really wanted Miller for the Knicks. Miller is one of the best glue players around. He plays good defense, rebounds, shoots, passes.... Only problem are the injury concerns.[/COLOR]

I always liked millers game, glad to see he's on contender now. Just need a center like Tyson Chandler or any big athletic guy to handle howard ,they are good.

Wouldn't it be funny if Miller had his worst shooting season. hahaa.

But can't teams go over the cap but sign anyone they like. I think if they go over the luxury tax then they pay $1 for every dollar they spend? Could someone confirm this. Thanks

[boozehound]

if i was chalmers, I wouldn't give up my number for anything less than a Bentley.

meh, they probably wont let him give it up. Last year stuckey tried to give up his 3 twice, including during the offseason. league wouldnt let him. you have to apply way in advance. ONly way lebron gets 6 is if they trade chalmers or the league is incredibly superstar biased. oh wait.

no, you are completely wrong. you can only sign up to the cap. Its through raises, re-signing your own FAs, and adding MLE players that you get to the luxury tax area.

If the contracts are for 15 each (I havent seen a real figure yet, but this is more than 2 mil less than the max with the 58 mil cap), they have about 12 left to spend. 6-7 after this one

Actually, Chalmers number has been officially changed to #15. The League approved it.


Lebron will get his #6.
