Is it just me or the tweet doesn’t make sense at all? What does “The NBA got the first “delayed stretch” of a waived player.” Mean? Is he supposed to say the nba got it wrong?
Time for the NBA equivalent of Bobby Bonilla day
The Cavs are going to be flirting with the tax line. It makes sense to give themselves as much wiggle room as possible this year given that they’re going to be over the first apron next year unless they do something significant.
Ooooooh the NFL way haha
Maybe a dumb question but how is this different than what the Suns did with Nassir Little the other week?
I thought this was already a thing? We stretched Nic Batum’s payments over 3 years to increase our wiggle room I thought
Never forget how good Ricky was playing before his injury – legit looked like an all star, what a tragedy
Is this the NBA or an MBA???
Wow, very cool
