    if i were ORL, I'd make the Howard stay. Sign Lopez outright if I really wanted him.

      you are correct. The contract is not 'front loaded'. It is a bonus situation. IIRC, 20% of a contract can be paid early as a bonus. That is 11.6M or so with roy. It appears to be paid over the 1st 2 yrs. but it does not effect the salary cap number.
      it's up to 10% for rookies, so 5.8-5.9 mil. I think it's paid right away, after signing. I never heard of a "delayed" signing bonus before. E.g., if he signs the contract with us on July 20th, he'd get the full bonus on July 20th (or the earliest possible day). That's my understanding.

        You dont get better in the short term by trading a 6 time all star who is still in his prime.

        His contract is awful but he is still very good.

        Really a good trade for both teams.
        I was being facetious

          A lot of offseason left for us to go before we start evaluating our front office and our offseason. Worst case scenario, we just brought back a young 50 win team. I think we will get a bit better though.

            Humphries has some leverage he is using to the fullest:

            To be clear, I'm told Kris Humphries is only interested in multi-year GUARANTEED deal.
            The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).

              If Humphries kills this deal, he's a hero.

                  I actually want the deal to go through, I'm just sick and tired of this bs.

                    In proposed blockbuster, Orlando would send Dwight Howard, Jason Richardson and Earl Clark to Brooklyn, sources tell Y! Sports.

                    In current structure of deal, Orlando gets Brook Lopez, Damion James, Shelden Williams, Luke Walton and 3 or 4 1st rounders, sources tell Y!

                    Refuse to believe 4-team Howard trade rumor since it involves the words "Brook Lopez" and "max deal." No team could possibly be that dumb.

                        To be clear, I'm told Kris Humphries is only interested in multi-year GUARANTEED deal and a PROMISE that nobody on his new team will ever call him "Mr. Kardashian" even one time

                          What is our front office doing?

                          A Donnie Walsh Supreme.... overpaying to keep Pacer players and lowballing other teams players.

                              NBA players are not Pokemon Daryl Morey, you don't need to collect them all.

                                Does Houston need a b/u PG that bad?
