I don't think Carey posted it but what I saw was this tweet from Coro giving his opinion

My bad, sorry

It's all good. It's just I spend a lot of time getting the posts up for everyone and I feel like most people just read right past them. It's frustrating.

You're doing a great job with the posts and updates. It's easy to miss some since there are so many threads and posts to read. We still really appreciate your awesome work.

Oh as Marty just post the KD meme

You guys don't have to go overboard, lol. All I'm saying is use the search feature if you're not caught up in the thread or you're not sure. Or I can just chill out when things are posted a 2nd or 3rd time, I suppose there's no harm in that. It's just the internet.

There is something kind of funny about it. "Carey posted it" is our version of "Simpsons did it."

Magic didn't even give him the QO.

Co-workers apologize when they do something that bugs you. Friends rub it in.

right!?

It's not just the high spending. It's the high spending on guys who didn't even get the qualifying offer. Wow.

Theses guys need to send LeBron, Steph, and Kobe some nicely written thank-you cards for putting the league in this financial position.

TOO's favorite PG just got traded.

Hey everybody, Andrew Nicholson just signed with the Wizards.

J/K carey. <3

Based on the first couple days one thing is clear that these GMs in the East know Playoffs and even a Top Seed are up for grabs and they sure are splashing the $$$ . Some of the moves are puzzling but the opportunity to contend or make some noise is there and these guys all seem willing to gamble

Be interesting to see what kind of offers Len and Archie get next off-season.

I thought Utah could get more than a second round pick for Burke.
Nets signed Tyler Johnson for 4yrs/50mil. He had a good season (or two) for Miami but ended it with and injury. If he's healthy it's only a slight overpay IMO, but you have to do it if you're Brooklyn.

I think the first two years are super cheap, like 5 million, then it jumps to 19 million in years 3 and 4

Good for the Jazz.

You're right. I think this is because he hasn't been in the league long enough, so teams are limited in what they can offer him in the first years (wasn't this also the case with Houston and Lin?). Is cap hit every year the same as the actual contract? I think I remember reading something about this where the cap hit is average salary per year if he is traded, but not otherwise. Or vice versa

Yes. The Gilbert Arenas rule. If he stayed with the Heat the cap hit would have been averaged out but with the Nets the hit is the hit I believe.
