but how will we get amare or lebron or yao if we are over the salary cap? why in the world will phoenix or cleveland or houston not sign a guy for max dollars if hes one of the best in the league. pretty much every team in the league will be willing to give any of those guys max dollars. and if they let him go, they're going to want a lot back in return, not just an "expiring" contract. what do we have that we can give up to get a star of that caliber?
if we are UNDER the cap, and say chicago doesnt wanna give curry a lot of money, then we could just SIGN him. but if we are OVER the cap, how do you propose we would get him or anybody else? chicago wouldnt want crawford back, and they already supposedly rejected a sweetney for curry trade. what else could we give them?
so basically u admit that we will be able to do nothing with tim t. and pennys expiring contracts since u couldnt name one possible trade that would happen. then dont say we should patiently wait for this summer, or that all the other expiring contracts give us some hope and something to look forward to in the future. you couldnt name one time that a team succesfully used expiring contracts to their benefit to land a great player. if we sign a guy for 1-3 years to sit on the bench, obviusly he wont be a very good player and contribute much to the team, and therefore u admit that we will be a bad team for the next 2-3 years. so if we're going to be a bad team anyway, why not go ALL THE WAY down and atleast BETTER POSITION OURSELVES to land a star free agent.
i want exactly what u want, to be able to sign those big name guys 2-3 years down the road. and that will be much easier to do if we have an efficient payroll, and good young talent that could be used as trading pawns. if we are OVER the salary cap and only have expiring contracts to offer, there will be other teams that will be able to offer much more, or teams that under the cap, that will be able to sign those guys.
i dont understand - what questions are you asking me that im not answering???
