Terrible basketball currently, clown music

KO Simpson is still the best player on the court.

Spurs STILL playing with elbows and bodying fools like a 90s pistons team.

The deal with spreading the cap hit over five years, is the cap increase around 10% per year(another formula). Soooooooooooooo if the cap is 150 this year and 225 in five years, the 20 million in the future is a lower cap hit due to growth. It's just another layer and the saints used that method to a master class with most of the contracts while Brees was passing for 5k.

Hornets ended on on 23-2 run with baugh and his awkward 3s....

Prior to NIL and the transfer portal you at least didn't have the open free agency that has existed at the HS level for years.

Baugh is getting some mins and all he's doing is dropping 3s

Simpson just tackled a spurs player and ref called a foul on spurs...

No Salaun either......

I think its best to split SImpson mins and Kons min. One on bench and one on court with some overlap. Unless Kon chokes in the 3rd+4th, this is his best game.

Kon with an open 3 look and passes it to Kalk, who's beside my hero hall is having a great game too.

No, you're not on the hook for a larger than normal signing bonus because you're already on the hook for the guaranteed money. This is the problem with things like Chat GTP, it makes assumptions in a vacuum that aren't correct in the whole picture, or even look at it in different ways. It's basically looking at the signing bonus of a Free Agent, not a rookie who has a set value for the slot they were drafted in. Because yes, for a FA, the more you add to the signing bonus, it does make the guaranteed money increase right along with it.

rough game, looks like a full female ref staff and they are not calling fouls

Spurs are playing hard, giving hornets problems on both ends.

I don't think Liam or Jones this game either.

The most exciting player on our summer league roster. Put him on the roster. We need another big body anyways

Spurs got a real test for the hornets, this isn't Mavs summer clowns.

College was 1,000,000x worse than HS. I can personally attest to this. Especially pre-NIL. Holy poo was it a sewer. Most of the AAU corruption came directly from colleges/coaches/alum or shoe companies through nefarious channels.

Put 16 HALL in the HOF, thunder dunk!!

Kon is playing very well, maybe better than his 3rd quarter. I found who he reminds me of too- MY GUY 16 HALL WITH THE BEST DUNK BLOCK IN SUMMER LEAGUE HISTORY.

That is just Panthers history pain speaking.

From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day. "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early." I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.
