You're right part of my beef is actually with the numbers but I have no problem with front-loaded contracts themselves (unlike Parker who doesn't like this method at all).

The problem isn't so much with exploitation (someone's doing their job and I'm fine with that). The problem is that teams with cheaper owners/owning groups probably won't want to match astronomical front-loaded contracts. They all have the money to pay, but some won't and that ruins the end product and the fans are the ones who lose out.

What's weird is that people were talking about having a max % of payout based on the annual cap hit but I haven't anything mentioned since the Kovalchuk debacle. Personally, I think that would be a totally acceptable solution.

Instead of Weber making:

14, 14, 14, 14, 12, 12, 6, 6, 6, 6, 3, 1, 1, 1 on a 7.86 hit, say the max % was like 30% extra/year then he'd be making 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 7, 7, 3, 1, 1, 1

It's still front loaded but chances are that Nashville might see that as more palatable an offer to match (not saying they would). Everyone wins. Players gets money. Fans keeps/gets player. Teams get cap relief.

NASH TO THE LAKERS.

Yeah, this would have been interesting to see back in like '05-06' when both were in their respective primes and Nash had his back-to-back MVP years. The Lakers needed someone to run the point, but I don't think it's going to make them good enough to get out of the second round of the playoffs, and definitely not good enough to beat the Thunder.

Uhhh Nash was ranked third among all PGs last year. He is faaaaaaaarrrr from done, he seems to get better with age.

Yeah, but I still don't consider the Lakers good enough getting past the Thunder. I'd love to see Steve Nash win a ring, though it would pain me to see Kobe tying with MJ in rings, and I hate the Lakers.

Howson can rest assured that he won't have the title of worst GM in pro sports (Millen being retired and all).

"The Magic will receive Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, rookie swingman Moe Harkless, three first-round draft picks and a 2013 second-round pick from the Nuggets (by way of Golden State). Lakers forward Pau Gasol had been in previous scenarios of the trade, but his representatives have since been assured he's no longer in the deal..."

Well, at least Orlando fans can see more of Sharapova near courtside.

So now LA has Howard, Gasol, Kobe and Nash + random guy in 3-spot. Sigh. I hate LA.

      jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection. Yes   Application stats UserId: 943213736024498227 Username: jelly3384 User: @Rec. J. Buford Duration: 1131 seconds Joined guild at: a day ago
