Where we list seven things we took no longer than seven seconds to think about...
AUCTION EDITION
Mack "Fast Break" Evans, Associate Editor
The auction was fast and furious, being online this season. Before anyone gets a chance to study the thing, let's toss off some ill-advised thoughts:
1. Really reasonable contracts this year. Many even too reasonable. 12.7 million dollars out to Dirk Nowitzki was the largest one year given out, less than the the franchise tag.
2. Despite the reasonable contracts, very little is left for free agent / waiver wire bidding during the season. The expansion teams Scoobydank and FDaS! will pretty much have the pick of the wire as the only teams over two million dollars left under the cap.
3. One of my favorite values: Enes Kanter, 4.1 mil #want. Wow.
4. 23 multi-year deals handed out. Considering there were only two open vet slots, that's 21 new players to be aboard next year. Wow. Funny enough, though, 23 contracts are up at the end of the year, too.
5. With many of those guys franchise dudes, though, plus rookies ending their deals, that's still gonna mean probably 10 amnesty cuts next year. There's gonna be some dead cap next year.
6. Evan Fournier for two million dollars? Huh?
7. The Waiver Wire All-Star Lineup:
PG - Mo Williams
G - Manu Ginobili
G - Lou Williams
SW - VInce Carter
F - Thomas Robinson
F - Jason Thompson
Big - Jordan Hill
C - Glen Davis
