Keeping Up With The Bobcats Salary Space

We will most likely re-sign Sessions, and next year you are going to want to think about re-signing Biyombo and Walker. Biz will receive a deal around the five million dollar range and Kemba could be looking at a deal around the $11,000,000 dollar range. That would literally be most of our cap room for next year.

We get club options on both Biz and Walker next year for 7 million total, and then we can put qualifying offers to match the year after that, so I don't see any reason to extend either of them now. I think we're in pretty good shape. I don't know that we'll be able to max anybody out in near future, but Al Jefferson is realistically the best caliber free agent that would sign here anyway. And the fact that we didn't give him 4 years is a great move.

Was our MLE factored into the money we have available to spend?  I don't think we used any of it trying to sign Jefferson.  Mid-Level Exception will give us an additional 3.5M to spend and if we haven't used our Bi-Annual Exception, we may be able to add another 1.5-2M.

We're not over the payroll, the MLE doesn't apply here.

I'm not saying extend them (for the thousandth time lol)

 

What I'm saying is this...

 

Kemba graded out as one of the top seven point guards in the league last year, he will be due a big pay day... Unlike someone like Ramon Sessions who will probably sign a new contract for five million or less, Kemba will be looking for a raise in the neighborhood of eight to nine million dollars.

 

The only way to realistically afford him is to save money next year, or since we own his (and Biyombo's bird rights); go  into the luxury tax to sign them (except that we won't have to pay for being in the luxury tax because bird rights allow you to go over the salary cap to retain your own players).

I still don't understand how the heat can 3 players with max contracts which should take up over 75% of their entire salary yet they still have money to sign basically anyone they want.

We don't even have one max contract and yet we're basically broke.

Exactly!

And look up there in Brooklyn.

The Bobcats can match any offer for Hendo up to 5.4 roughly before going into the luxury tax to retain him. Going to be funny to have a 26-35 win team that's in the luxury tax. 

 

Hey my number was $100,000 off from yours... at $57,303,875

 

I double checked everything, can you tell me how you got your number? I want to make sure I have the right number for the thread.

The difference is between the 57,296,451 number and yours is a total of 7,424 dollars. That's pretty close.
