Dolfan in NYC Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Not just 4/228... 4/228, guaranteed. The final year will pay him north of 45M. I'm sorry but the NBA is going to be unsustainable at that level of salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but the NBA is going to be unsustainable at that level of salary. I'm not going to hold my breath that he actually sees all 228. Isn't it just as likely they keep doing extensions that bring his single year cap hit down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 He has a sprained ankle. And Lonzo Ball put up a Triple Double(11-11-11), but they lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they may be giving an inflated contract to a mediocre player, but at least they're also making him impossible to trade. Here is Atlanta's response: Welcome back to MSG Timmy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What?!? Edit: yeah I get that's it a salary dump, but a first and a second to dump a decentish player for Justin Hamilton. This smaller than expected cap is the best thing ever.

Brian Fowler Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 They're both useful players, especially Porter, and they are both now massively overpaid, especially THJ. Fun side note: THJ's new deal is worth $23 million more than his dad made in his entire career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 David Griffin pulled his name out of contention with the Knicks because the Knicks refused to give him total control nor would they let him big his own front office staff.

He got sent to the D-League at least twice during the 2015-2016 season. The two stints I can remember were both short - 3 to 5 days then he was recalled. But, yeah, he was basically getting zero minutes with the Hawks for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 He had a relative breakout season as a scorer and decent ball handler off the bench this past year, but the Hawks were bracing for a deal in the 4/45 or 4/50 range according to reports. They would've likely matched, especially at 45. Nobody saw the Knicks tagging on an extra 20-25 million. Atlanta probably literally didn't even discuss matching.
