What Should the Lakers Pay Jordan Clarkson
I. Introduction Once the Los Angeles Lakers submit a Qualifying Offer (“QO”) to Jordan Clarkson, he will become a restricted free agent (“RFA”) on July 1. Because Jordan Clarkson has only been in the NBA for two seasons, his restricted free agency period will be subject to the Gilbert Arenas Provision (making Clarkson an “Arenas RFA”). […]
LeBron James’ Contract Options and Earning Potential
LeBron James just capped off his 12th season in the NBA with his third Larry O’Brien trophy. In just his second year back in Cleveland, he brought an NBA Championship to the city that hasn’t seen a title in over 50 years, arguably his greatest accomplishment to date. Despite the win, LeBron is expected to opt out of […]
The Long-Term Injury Provision: What if Chris Bosh Can’t Play Again?
For Chris Bosh, the past two seasons have ended with serious health scares that forced him to sit out the remainder of the Miami Heat’s regular season games and, this year, their playoff run. A sure-fire Hall of Famer, we’d all love to see Bosh go out on his own terms – a decision made by […]

That Weird Sign-and-Trade Rule
As mentioned in my Tristan Thompson piece, the Cleveland Cavaliers do have the option to sign-and-trade Thompson. If this ever came to fruition, the Cavs could only receive future assets and a trade exception in return. The trade exception, however, would not reflect whatever Thompson’s new salary would be. Instead, the exception is limited by […]
Options for Tristan Thompson & Cleveland Cavaliers
On October 1st at midnight Tristan Thompson let his qualifying offer with the Cleveland Cavaliers expire. The Cavs declined to offer Thompson a new contract that was acceptable to him and his agent and Thompson was unwilling to sign a $6,777,589 qualifying offer and play one year for less than his perceived market value. By […]
Team Salaries Updated, To be Posted Soon
Updating the Team Salaries took a little longer than expected as I was in the midst of studying for the Illinois Bar Exam. I have updated the salaries and they will be posted soon. They should be even more accurate than the salaries posted for last season. It should be noted that the salaries will […]
How the Hawks can re-sign DeMarre Carroll & Paul Millsap
Intro Atlanta was one of the most fascinating teams this season with their assist- and motion-heavy offense. Unfortunately, due to postseason injuries and running into someone named LeBron James, they did not get the opportunity to reach their ultimate goal and compete for an NBA title. This offseason two of their best players, Paul Millsap […]
