I think the problem is that some of the big CBA changes dont take effect until 2014(not 100% sure on the year). But right now, its still a mess.

It was all about the cash. And to be fair owners WERE losing money hand over fist. So now, they can give out the same dumb *** contracts but still make money. It's protecting their money.
Also, next year, when the extremely strict lux tax kicks in, you'll see teams jumping ship on these contracts. Toronto is REALLY going to regret that Landry Fields contract when they have to re-up on Derozen.Too Old To Game Club

I think Stern's idea was that NO was going to re-sign Gordon, still have a young Top 10 pick in Aminu, and still keep cap flexibility. Obviously that isn't working out either.
NO just needs to cut ties with guys who don't want to be there. It's poison.Favorite Sports Teams

NO should at least do a sign and trade so they could at least get talent to build their team. Losing him for nothing doesn't help them.Comment

It should because its no longer dollar for dollar like the last CBA, and it has increases as you go deeper into luxury tax.Comment

Why didn't Gordon talk about his heart when NO was shipping contracts out just so they could afford to pay him?
Was it payback for trading for him?
That's cold.Comment

I don't want a player who says his heart is elsewhere playing for my team.

Is Al Farouq Aminu any good?
And I may be just making this up, but wasn't someone (broussard maybe?) saying that anthony davis was going to make New Orleans just as attractive as places like boston or miami for FA'sChicago Bulls

Plus no way NO lets him walk. I don't care what anyone says, but Rivers is going to be an absolute scrub in the NBA. I'm retaining Gordon at all costs. Any core that includes Rivers isn't going to one that gets you very far, and not one I would put any faith in personally.Cubs | Bulls | Dolphins | 'Noles
