Jamal Crawford Cannot Get An Extension
By Nate Duncan
NBA Writer and Columnist

Recent reports and quotes have indicated Jamal Crawford is looking for a contract extension this summer.

“Our intention is to get an extension with the Clippers or anywhere else that he may be traded based on the fact that he’s undervalued for the production he’s providing,” his agent Andy Miller told Yahoo Sports on Wednesday night.

Unfortunately, Crawford will not be eligible for an extension until July 2015. Crawford signed his original four year, $21.35 million pact in July of 2012. Under Article VII, Section 7(a)(1) of the CBA, “a Player Contract covering a term of four (4), five (5) or six (6)* Seasons may be extended no sooner than the third anniversary of the signing of the Contract.”

*It should also be noted that no contract lasting three or fewer seasons may be extended. Also, don’t be confused by the language referring to a six season contract. A contract lasting six seasons is only possible under the current CBA when a player signs a Designated Player rookie extension for the maximum five years. The sixth year is the last year of the rookie contract.

Moreover, as Crawford will be over 36 at the end of this current contract in July of 2016, any extension would be subject to the Over 36 Rule. That rule is complex and explained more here, but the main point is that any contract longer than three years in which years four or five of the contract take place after the player is 36 has the money from those years accelerated onto the team’s cap for the first three years of the contract. So the team might as well just pay him the same total amount on a three year contract.

Thus, if Crawford could get an extension it would only be one year, since the remaining two years on his original contract count toward the Over 36 rule. Further, such an extension could only start at 107.5% of Crawford’s 2015-16 salary of $5.675 million, which does not seem like the substantial raise he is looking for.

Crawford’s 2015-16 salary is only $1.5 million guaranteed, with a guarantee date of June 30, 2015. Therefore, it will not be possible for Crawford to get any kind of extension until after the point at which he might be waived. Crawford has played better than anticipated on this contract through age 34, as it appeared potentially a bit of an overpay when first signed. Nevertheless, he will have to keep that up this year to get paid again next year.
 
Y'all niggus sound foolish..you get a chance to make 129 mill in 5 years you gonna give that up for a chance to win a ring not even worth 500k?

If it don't make dollars it don't make sense.... Robert Horry won 7, who really gives a fuck! Get Yo bread Melo! :lol:
 
Stephenson Being Patient with Free Agency
By Basketball Insiders |


“If we’re talking about a deal with the Pacers, I don’t know if any of the dominoes have to fall,” (Lance) Stephenson’s agent Alberto Ebanks predicted before the start of free agency. “(But) if we were talking about some of the other teams, I would think that those teams are looking to explore the very, very top tier LeBron James and company … so I would think that yes.”

Though Stephenson’s recent actions suggest nothing has changed in regards to wanting to return to Indiana — he still worked out at the team’s practice facility over the past week — he also patiently and thoroughly wants to gauge his value on the market.

“We’re in a rush to get a really good deal done,” Ebanks has said, “and we’re in no rush to enter into something that’s short of being a good situation for him and the next team or the current team.”

Sounds to me like he needs to put his foot in his own and his agents ass for signing that weak ass contract. Fam is looking at all these lesser talents getting paid and it's eating his ass up... :smh:
 
I can't wait till we rape the Knicks with melo over and over And over again.

Pure rape

Melo u will never win against us.

Count up tho
 
Fam will y'all niggas even make the playoffs?

It's not looking likely

AK and MHC suffer from delusions of grandeur. :lol: They think they only reason they didn't make the post season was because of injuries. I do think y'all are better than y'all record but man y'all either gonna be 1st round lunchmeat for a team or nothing. Nuggets never got better after that Melo trade. Just been content with their squad while everyone else was getting better.

Is this a bad Joke? Are we really questioning my Nuggets making the playoffs(when they've only missed ONCE since 2003 even after the Melo trade?) Bruh, the only reason we didn't make the playoffs last year is because damn near our entire team was injured. We had Quincy Miller STARTING after only seeing like 4 minutes a game previously. Randy Foye playing point because Lawson AND Robinson injured. If that doesn't tell you how bad it was then I don't know.

Our depth and talent is stupid and we got that one "experimental" year under Shaw out the way. As long as the players continue to buy in and we stay healthy, we going to Western Conference Finals. That's not fan talk, we ain't no slouches fam.

Why y'all not calling the Chicago hero Dwayne Wade? I'd love to see that backcourt of him and Pooh......sitting on the sidelines in armani suits and shit....:smh:
 
Wade banned out here.

He got a green light

And I hope we never take the foot off the Knicks neck

Straight blowouts

Don't never put the subs in.

U know thibs gonna want to fuck this team up yearly.

Next 5 years Knicks won't win no games

And pooh back?

Nigga
 
I called him. I called him a washed up bum ass nigga that no showed in the finals which is the main reason Bron taking his talents out of south beach.

:lol: Dude opted out like he had pull. Fuck loyalty he's been paid well for his services. I'd ship that motherfucker somewhere while he's still worth more than a bag of balls and some skittles and get some pieces in return.

What would be crazy is if LeBron is actually holding to see if that wobbly ass Dude is moved, and if not he bounces... :idea:

With phil at the helm the Knicks are already a better team..we already got a decent point guard and some what of a defensive center..pull that Gasol move and the squad is looking aight..the shit them three fools are doing in Miami is so dumb especially bosh and wade. These guys are all about to lose money when the owner of the team ain't ready to pay a cent of luxury tax..niggah shit right there

Y'all ain't got shit. Y'all still the same ol' Knicks. I give Phil credit for dumping Felton off on us but i'm not gonna give him too much. :lol: Phil ain't did shit and never has as a GM. I'm not giving him credit for re-signing Melo. It was always pay him the Max or move on. He tried to talk that shit about a pay cut but he bit.

Knicks should honestly be in rebuilding mode. They can get away with it because fans will come out and watch them play even if they're trash.

Never got better? Bruh we won 57 games two seasons ago. We never did that with Melo. It's not about getting better for us, it's having a balanced gameplan and players that win in the postseason.

Clearly we could win in the regular season but George Karl's system NEVER did anything for us in the playoffs. We've redesigned our philosophy and put more focus on PLAYOFF WINNING BASKETBALL. So watch them Nugget boys work when the team is healthy.

He's talking crazy. Bulls would take Wade in a second for the right price. They took on Rip Hamilton. Might as well take down another on his way out the door player who can at least give them a decent 40 games.

I'm talking about your roster. Y'all roster never got better. Y'all should've been building on that core but y'all really haven't. Y'all overachieved that 57 win year. Nuggets be catching teams off guard playing in that fucked up ass altitude but the Nuggets as constructed are gonna be lunchmeat if they even make the playoffs. This ain't the East over in the West.
 
Wade fucked himself up when he took that 2nd meeting with the bulls in 2010

He had 2 chances to be next to pooh.

Then he came with this bulls ain't loyal garbage

Oh he in for a rude awaking

Reisndorf woulda paid wade contract in full if he brought #7 here from 2010

It woulda been free bands

But they lied and spit in the bulls face

Fuck em all
Melo
Bosh
Wade
Bronze

Fuck all these niggas from 2003

At least one

And looking at your squad and then lookin at the west I'm just trying to see what playoffs squad from last year y'all will be better than?
