iggy as the point-forward would be nice...would be even nicer if him an reke share ball handling duties with bmac hitting wide open threes and cus turning into a consistant 20 and 10 guy and rotating on defense and ppat bombing 18-23 ft and IT being the next bobby jackson ...ahhhhhh im going crazy.

The Pelicans can't severely backload a contract. Those severe backloads are restricted to a particular circumstance (RFA, 1 or 2 years total NBA service time) that does not apply. As such, an offer sheet whose cap hold starts at $7M can only have 4.5% raises for a total of $29.89M over a 4 year deal. That's clearly not the offer.

ok i was totally going off the initial reports yesterday. didn't realize it had be debunked.

Here we go!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Where was this reported? Ziller did an article today debunking the argument that the Pelicans can poorly structure an offer to Reke or include a "poison pill". I'm pretty sure they can't do a 7/7/15/15 contract.

They can't do that contract. Whoever reported it was wrong.

so a contract starting around 11-12 and ending around 16-17

Yeah, the per year isn't too bad, but that 5th year is a huge advantage for them, because his next contract won't be anywhere close. I'd imagine we'd have to come close in the total amount, something like $55 million for four years or so, to get his attention.

Hey, now, just a million off

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Average of 14mil per, 1mil less than the amount he made last season, which was the highest amount of his last contract.

That's a lot of money.

At 4.5% raises, that would start at about $13.1M, which is basically our full cap space, renouncing Tyreke. Well, then.

Something like this. It doesn't mean that $14 mil is the first year's contract - I hope.

Renouncing Tyreke doesnt mean we still wouldnt be able to resign him, it would just be without the ability to match and keep him.

What would Tyrekes start at with say 4/48?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Renouncing Tyreke means Tyreke is gone. I don't see how or why he would come back after we give up our leverage.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

4/56 is not too bad at all... I'll take it, if the plan is to resign Evans as well. WOw I am more excited than ever to be a Kings fan!

 

[Fear the Putin]

$14 mil per, or however they front/back load it

Doesn't sound good, does it? I don't think $13.1 is the first year though. Someone get out a calculator.

Agree...

I have a question for salary cap people..

If Reke left, and if we amnestied Salmons how much cap space would we have to go after a PG?

 

[Vlade4GM]

Insane, stupid money.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Could amnestying Salmons help Tyreke's situation?

 

[Glenn]

Errrr, if we renounce him he is a free agent and his salary would have to fit under the cap. Am I right? This makes no sense.

unless he was made aware of this in the meeting. Told look we have to do this to be able to get some ppl around you. are you on board? just hope we don't get boozered.

 

[kingwin]

hes prolly worth 10-12mil..so we have to pay 14mil to get him in sac..do it pete

 

[OptimusRhyme]

considering rekes going for 12 mil.. 14 mil for iggy really isnt THAT bad..

It would help but still need more space

Jason Jones tweeted this earlier:

The cost to keepTyreke Evans from signing the Pelicans offer sheet would be at least four years, $48 million.

Not sure why we'd have to beat the offer, when we could just match?

Either way, if the Iguodala signing happens it seems like it's the end of the Evans era

 

[Quix]

I want Tyreke more

When can I start sobbing quietly while rocking back and forth in a corner?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Renouncing Tyreke means Tyreke is gone. I don't see how or why he would come back after we give up our leverage.

The only way to do both (yes, it's still possible) would be to amnesty Salmons (that gets us $7.5M in cap relief) and trade MT23 to somebody while getting back only about $4M. (Alternately, any other trade that clears us about $4M...you can imagine up the possibilities. For instance IT + Outlaw for a second round pick would possibly be close enough to do both.)

So it's not impossible, and given that we clearly went to Tyreke last night with serious intentions of keeping him...I'd just say that it's too early to panic. Especially when the deal is just the right size to fit Tyreke's NO offer sheet while amnestying Salmons and trading IT/Outlaw (a decent package, just for IT). Don't fret just yet.

lets say we renounce the qualifying offer. Do we still hold bird rights as he is our free agent just not long restricted? so we could go over the cap signing him no problem.
