thedoctor Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 for all the talk about short-term deals it’s hard to figure out how anyone would think things will be more lucrative next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The market won't look any better for players until there's a new CBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the players continue to perform - taking 2 consecutive 1 year, $50 million deals, then at age 28 taking a 7 year/$200 million deal - accomplishes the same thing as a $300 million guarantee.

I don't see it changing then unless there is a salary floor put in to artificially raise salaries, similar to the arbitration process now.

And what team would be willing to hand over $50M for 1 year? No reports have even suggested that is a possibility, plus a lot of the heavy hitters are close to the luxury tax and can't afford to do so.

If San Fran, for example, was willing to jump in on Harper for 1 year - yeah that would push them into tax territory but only Washington and Boston paid the tax last year so they'd only face the 1 year penalties. I wouldn't do it, but if they're still insisting they can compete in that division that's a move that could do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgiggles15 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Really thinking of starting from page 1 of this thread and reading all the amusing comments we have made over the last months.

A great way to tell when the guys are just looking for attention is when they claim that a signing will be announced 4 days from now. If one of these guys actually wanted to sound believable, they wouldn't try and act like the sides have reached an agreement and are deciding to wait 4 days for whatever reason.
