Mozgov is not going anywhere.
$18 million/year is 17% of the NEW ($108 million) cap, $16 million/year is 15% of the new cap. A team with 3 max players cannot afford to pay their 6th man almost one fifth of their total payroll.
Not to mention it throws the salary rankings out whack across the whole roster. If TT gets $18 million do you think Kyrie is going to be satisfied earning $19 million? He would ask to renegotiate I would think.
Still doesn't change the fact TT isn't worth close to what he is asking for.
The worst scenario is pissing him off to the point where he signs the QO, becomes unrestricted, and gets 25-30 million from someone next season.
You mean best? I'd love to see that happen for some odd reason
There is no renegotiating in the NBA.
Actually there is, although not to increase spending over the cap. In any case it wouldn't be good to have Kyrie pissed off for any reason.

61. Can existing contracts be renegotiated?
A contract for four or more seasons can be renegotiated after the third anniversary of its signing, extension, or previous renegotiation (if the previous negotiation increased any season's salary by more than 4.5%). Contracts for fewer than four seasons cannot be renegotiated. A contract cannot be renegotiated between March 1 and June 30 of any year.
Only teams under the cap can renegotiate a contract, and the salary in the then-current season can be increased only to the extent that the team has room under the cap (and cannot increase the player's salary beyond the maximum salary). A renegotiation can only be used to provide a salary increase -- players can't take a "pay cut" in order to create more cap room for the team.
Jesus Christ, people are looking for things that aren't there right now just to look for them...this is ridiculous.
Serious question for people here, do you really think us refusing to pay TT 90 mil makes LeBron walking a likelihood?Not if we have to sign him per LeBron's orders.
