Awesome signing! We would have beaten the Spurs had he didn't suffer the injury. He's a starting Center when needed. Does this increase the chances of trading Capela?
Via Bima Nene's new deal (assuming full Non-Bird): 17-18: $3,477,600 18-19: $3,651,480 19-20: $3,825,360 20-21: $3,999,240 Total: $14,953,680
I love how Rox are shifting their organizational image by 1) giving your star player a raise last year with Harden when they didn't have to 2) letting Parsons off early in good faith 3) rewarding Nene with a longer deal to make up for the value last year and keeping annual salary cost down ($15 mil is $15 mil whether you get that in two years or four) 4) building relationships with players/GMs and maintaining them through their careers almost like stock investment 5) no longer saying "assets" and switching it to "sleeves"
This is a genius signing. Morey always a step ahead. Instead of blowing all our cap space this year he just spread NeNe out for four years. Perfect. Worth it
i'd give melo and his agent more time to pressure the knicks into a buyout. lets push for millsap. gordon+NG should be enough to get a S&T done. no picks needed if indy didn't even get any for PG. then based on cod's posts we might be able to pull off the following: ryno for tobias MLE for collison BAE for young vet min for amir start the season with: capela-nene/amir sap-tobias/amir ariza-tobias/young harden-young/collison paul-collison that team is very possible and pretty damn good on both ends.
That's why it's 4 years at $15 million. Because he will essentially play only 2 years worth of games.
