Around the League: Week 13 1/8-1/14

TJ Warren has a poison pill restriction in his contract.

First I've heard of this. He gets a bump in pay if traded?

Bledsoe's $14.5 million contract cannot be aggregated until Jan. 7.

I don't know what this is. Do they mean Knight?

No idea what the Bledsoe thing is talking about, but Warren has the poison pill restriction because of his extension. If we were to trade him this year, his salary for trading purposes would be an average of his extension contract and his current contract. So (48+3)/5. Puts his average for the next 5 years at 10 million. So the receiving team would treat him like his contract is worth 10 million while we treat him like it's worth 3 million. Just makes him difficult to trade. Although with how much cap space we have, we could still do it easily.

Thank you for the post and the explanation, Split.

Talking about Bledsoe's $14.5M salary as if it's relevant to the Suns is strange enough. Saying it "can't be aggregated until Jan. 7" in an article published on Jan. 12 makes it doubly so.

Gotta be 2019 then. Now it all makes sense. NOT!

In the writers defense, it is just an update from a previously written article. Still, you would expect more, especially in an article people are paying for.

Pop is the best, man. I could also see Kerr doing something like this.

Mike James just signed a two way deal with the Pelicans

I saw that. What's interesting is that the amount of NBA days left accrues on the player's side not the team's. So he only has whatever was left from when he played for us.

He used up all of them with us I thought. That's why we signed him to a real contract for a couple weeks.

They certainly don't need another point guard on the regular roster. They run 5 already.

Heard a "fun fact" on the Pels Knicks highlights, that this is the first time in the careers of both Davis and Cousins that their team is above .500 half way though the season. Niether player has ever had a winning team at this point.

Tripleheader on TNT today. Lakers/Grizz, GSW/Cavs, and Rockets/Clippers. Happy MLK day!

Can't be true for Davis. Pels made the playoffs a couple years back, won like 45 games.

2014-15, Davis's 3rd season in the league.

They were 20-21, then finished 25-16.

Oh I thought you meant at this point or later. Got it
