@SmellyBucksFan @BobbyMarks42 The Hawks fully absorbed the salary without sending any player to OKC. That’s also a benefit that other teams may not be able to offer.

Julius Randle on Ayo Dosunmu: “I didn't know he was that damn good. I ain't gonna lie to you. When I was in the East and he was in Chicago, that were those DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine teams, so I don’t know if the opportunity was there as much, but damn, I'm glad we got him.”

Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale suffered a right high ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks. Landale has averaged 9.1 points on 51.6% shooting from the field and 39.1% from 3-point range with 4.1 rebounds in 19.4 minutes during 23 games for Atlanta.

@BobbyMarks42 Not a regular NFL fan. But if the kicker gets the most points for the team, then he should be the Super Bowl MVP right?

@ChrisBHaynes I’m so surprised

[Alan Wan @AlanWKC32]

@wsied @BobbyMarks42 Can not aggregate his contract with other in a trade

[Alan Wan @AlanWKC32]

@realcavsfans The Cavs are not allow to aggregate players in trade……

[Alan Wan @AlanWKC32]

@ESPNNBA @BobbyMarks42 They should consider trading JB now. They don’t have the luxury of waiting JB get back

[Alan Wan @AlanWKC32]

@cabaasabdi @BobbyMarks42 Cash saving also.

[Alan Wan @AlanWKC32]

@BobbyMarks42 Can Bane remove his incentive to get the trade bonus?

@ReverseDVD @BobbyMarks42 If Memphis wins, Kings will send their lottery pick this year to Hawks

@antdish11 @BobbyMarks42 Please see below 2 graphics (before & after) that were done by Mr. Marks.

@MrDunn2U @BobbyMarks42 @LuisFRodz The Cavs are now under the tax.

[Alan Wan @AlanWKC32]

@calebnixonmedia I’m thinking something like this. Houston will have to attach multiple draft picks as well.

[Alan Wan @AlanWKC32]

@AmNotEvan Don’t fix it it ain’t broke

[Alan Wan @AlanWKC32]

@Lakersph12 @YossiGozlan Saved 11 millions from luxury tax. More breathing room for next trade.

@GMCoops @MikeAScotto @hoopshype @KeithSmithNBA explained pretty well. You can have a look.

I'll attempt to explain the Detroit Pistons situation:

🏀Detroit didn't want Paul Reed at $7.7M, because the per day charge ($44,385) was eating into their potential cap space rapidly.

🏀Detroit waived Paul Reed to get off that bigger salary (~$2.5M in dead money for Reed), which took them below the salary floor.

🏀Detroit signed Javante McCoy to get back to the salary floor on Sunday. McCoy gets four days of salary at what should be $32,596 (this will be the dead money for McCoy after his waiver).

🏀Reed re-signs on a prorated veteran minimum contract (which will probably be non-guaranteed too) at ~$1.4M.

🏀Net result is Reed's dead money + new cap/tax hit is roughly $3.9M vs the former figure of $7.7M.

🏀End result is the Pistons still have Reed, are back over the salary floor and now have $14M in cap space to work with at the deadline vs $10.5M.

This was a VERY smart piece of cap management by the Detroit front office. Really well done!

@BlkholeAllst3rs @BobbyMarks42 Or they are preparing for the JB trade

@elonmusk hi, have you thought of buying a pro sports team? Thank you.

@AdamMadridista1 @LucasPeter2017 @TheDunkCentral @MikeAScotto Incorrect. Although Mark is not the majority owner of the Mavs anymore, he is still in charge of the basketball operation. It was written in the deal.
