 I guess we all do. Seems like everyone took it as ignorant. 

I know.

 

I said it because of all the whining hysteria over Shaq's deal.

[Jared Patterson]

So one of you smart people... after the Shaq signing how much cap room are we looking at for 2020?

Precisely why the Thompson contract isn’t bad and people acting like it is are being ridiculous.  The cap is gonna go up so much over the next couple of years, especially after the new CBA 

Just because you have money doesn’t mean you should spend it. I can afford a Ferrari, does it mean I’m going to go and spend that amount for my F150? Nope.

See I'd argue that the thing is, regardless of how much the cap is going to jump going forward, at current market rates Shaq probably could have been signed for 9 or 10. Even if the cap jumps to 200 mil, you're still talking about 6 to 7% of your cap for a non pass rushing, non mike linebacker with zero pro bowls on his resume.

What?  

Thompson’s play matches what his contract will be worth after the cap rises.  What the heck are you talking about

He’s talking about a LB who struggles against the run and coverage being paid like a top 5 LB? With 28M guaranteed? Let’s not pretend he’s not being paid with a hope he improves because the more he plays, the more he gets exposed.

Shaq isn't a top 10 LB let alone a top 5. I don't mind they we are keeping him, we just overpayed. I dont see how he is worth more than 10 million and thats generous given his play.

Edit: This only makes sense if Luke is done. Othereise we need to pay that man like a top 5 and not the guy who is half the player making top 5 money next to him.

Shaq's contract is going to look great by this time next year and I for one can't wait for the crow once Bradberry is resigned too

Yeah. My issue with the Shaq contract is that I wanted Bradberry signed first.

There is no way Hurney could have known this

Doesn't the Salary Cap go up close to every year?
