Kevin Pangos. “скатертью дорога”

[2 For The Brew]

Didn't the State Dept say there was a Russian plan to stage a false flag op in Ukraine where they would film dead Russian bodies and say the Yooks attacked them?

Luxury tax comes from contracts owned by the Cavs at the end of the regular season or waived during the season.

Luxury tax is only counted for the amount paid by an NBA team during the season, not any amount paid by the league. Since he was on a 2nd year min salary contract, the NBA does not pay any portion of his salary. (NBA pays a portion of the contract on min salary contracts > 2nd year min salary contracts and that NBA portion does not count twards the luxury tax)

If he leaves the team now, he stops geting paid. He would have been played 54 out of 82 games + 5 preseason games, or 68% of the season.

So I estimate that he'll cost about 1.13Mil against the luxury tax at the end of the regular season unless the Cavs trade his contract.

This seems to present an interesting question.

Let's say, for example, that Russell Westbrook is really bad and is actively hurting the Lakers (hypothetically, of course)... He also is probably currently costing the team about $150M with the repeater tax for this year (or some other large number number).

What would happen if the Buss Family bought a Euro team and then offered Westbrook a contract of 2-years $100M with that team. He takes it - and leaves the Lakers.

It seems like the Lakers fix all their salary cap woes - and simultaneously the Buss Family saves $50M.

There is presumably some protection against this?

This is outside the box thinking. I like it. And, even with his diminished shooting, can you imagine what Westbrook would score in the Euro league? Guys still can't stay in front of him in the NBA. In a league where Pangos is a star, he'd be dunking on teams, coaches, cheerleaders, fans and entire countries.

Pain.

Can you even imagine what the Turn of the Century Calvaliers would have been like if Jumaine Jones and Darius Miles had calves like Pangos? We would have won like 30 games!

Good luck, Cannuck.

I would like to apologize to the Thunder's Théo Maledon for once suggesting here that it was a battle between him and Pangos for worst NBA PG. Maledon tore up the G-League recently, and also posted these numbers in a Thunder L tonight, numbers that Pangos can only achieve in EuroLeague:

You know you suck when Koby figures out a way to trade you to Russia, Pangos will be playing games in empty Cilos.

 

[cabs]

so I guess they'll convert goodwin to regular spot and then sign a new 2-way guy that hopefully isnt 7'6

I imagine we won't rush things.

Let the buyout market happen. Look to pick up a nice piece.

If that doesn't happen, then we'll sign Goodwin for the rest of the season so he can play in the playoffs.

There's no reason to miss out on a solid veteran addition because we jumped the gun and signed Goodwin too early.

He’s now going to be sent to the Russian front.
