The Lakers get $150,000,000 million a year from

[Lakers2877]

Does the TWC deal fall under the "revenue sharing" provision in the NBA?

No

[hitman24]

What in gods name are you talking about?

What is with the hyper sensitive posters on this board? Geez lol

i was defending you!

[Blue&Orange]

what the tard who wrote that article didn't know or realize is that there is no minimum cap hold restrictions unless you go out and sign those guys before the 1 or 2 max contract players

A team could have ZERO players under contract, renounce to all bird rights, they would still have 15 cap holds.

[kennethgriffin]

actuually no they cant
Kobes salary will be a cap hold
Unless tgey renounce his bird rights
in which case they could do that but then they
cant sign him for whatever they want bc hell be an ufa
with no bird rights to that team so it counts against the cap like a normal free agent would

So that gives the Lakers then two options
sign max fa and waive off kobes bird rights
which well means Kobe will have to take less money regardless
and hope kobe signs for whatever amount is left on the cap
or kobe walks

ir option two,sign kobe first and then see what they can do with the cap left over
in which case if kobes planning on staying
I dont see him approving on any signings before him
Which will definitely have a change in team chemistry

i'm not talking about kobe. i'm talking about the other 8-9 spots on the roster that guy put a minimum cap hold of 500+k

i'm saying the lakers will use all that extra money to sign the big players first. and will be at their maximum cap level with just kobe, nash, sacra, FA, FA.

then sign the rest through the 1 million minimum contract option where you can go over the cap

still dont understand cap holds do you?

Kobe has a 32 million dollar cap hold next year,and Nash is getting paid 9 million with sacre at .5

so thats already
42 million,add in 9 roster cap holds for a minimum 12,
thats 46 million,if the Cap is 60 million that leaves 14 Million on FA

The only way to clear cap room would be for the LAL to renounce Kobes bird rights in which case he can sign for whatever amount and the cap is only a minimum veteran spot which cleares 30 million

which gives them 44 million for FA

so if that does happen and lets say Kobe resigns for 15 million
the roster will be

Nash
Kobe
?
?
Sacre

with 28-29 Million in cap room
thats one max star and role players

with that said
Gasol has a 20 million dollar cap hold as well
so either they keep gasol at a smaller rate or he leaves
if they keep him for say 10 million

the cap room is at 18 million dollars,but as of right now

THE LAL Cap Holds exceed 80 million dollars next season
even if they waive everybodies Bird rights,theyll have 40 million to use
and if they resign Kobe even less

so whichever way you put it,the LAL either can keep Kobe,lose Gasol and sign one max player
or they can lose Kobe and sign two max players,but the Team will be stripped bare of any bench,any depth for that to be acquired
Theyll only have room for minimum spots,

and as seen this season,when you go from Gasol to Clark,or Howard to Sacre,or Nash to Blake,or Kobe to Meeks
you have a very big problem on your hands

Na.. I still think those other roster spots dont count against the cap until they are filled.


The lakers will fill the entire cap with 4 players. Then get a cap loop hole to fill the rest with minimum contracts. They can go over the cap with them.

Provide me with a link and evidence that the lakers have to reserve cap room to fill their entire roster before even going after james or whoever

Cap HOLDS

Kobe has a 32 million dollar cap hold,gasol 20 million

Unless they renounce their bird rights,their cap holds
run against the cap

You dont know much about free agency,cap holds,and
salary cap do you?

lol@ you thinking the lakers will extend gasol

and again.. I'm NOT talking about kobe

i know the lakers have to pay him 31 mill to extend him

nash - 9.7 mill
sacre - 915 k

thats 41.6 million

the 2013-14 nba salary cap is set at 58.679 million


58.679 minus 41.6 = 17.079 million

more than enough to sign a superstar

The Buss family has a lot of money? You don't say. What a valuable contribution to the thread. Thanks for sharing

Loser

Point is, it's the Buss family's money not yours. Don't know why you're bragging about someone else's money. But whatever makes you okay with your life.

[TheCorporation]

hmm i own the lakers and am an entrepreneur , i get 3 billion dollars, do i waste it all in a sport, or just pocket that cash....i dont know, it seems like a hard choice to make

You chode.

He didn't get 3 billion dollar deals by just "pocketing that cash" lmao

Knowing you, if you were an entrepreneur you would've stopped at 100K, and never even sniffed 3 million, let alone 3 billion.
