sulley, i dont think you understand how the salary cap works. it's not your fault though, knowledge tends to slip when your team is irrelevant for over a decade

what are you confused about? one is an okie joke and the other is reality.

 

No, that's not how it works. Teams are allowed to offer more money to their own players.

hey free agents, come on down to chicago! we've got derrick rose! He doesn't pass! Don't forget about big man joakhim noah! He has foot problems! Those always heal up 100% on big men! Also, we're a playoff team, we got the 7-seed!/We've got a lottery pick! It's cold as hell! Vinny Del Negro gets his plays from NBA Live 98 on the Super Nintendo! Did you know that Brad Miller is still in the league!

bird rights give current teams the ability to go over the cap to sign their own free agents, but only up to the maximum salary. and it only applies, obviously, if the team is close to the cap. the cavs aren't close to the cap, if we're really talking about lebron.

 

in addition, current teams can offer 2.5% more in raises per year, but that only gives current teams advantages in years 2-6. however, if another team signs a FA, in year 4, they gain bird rights, meaning that they can offer the 2.5% raise starting after year 3. giving the home team a 2.5% advanatge in years 2 and 3 of any contract. not much of an advantage

 

they CAN offer a 6th year, which other teams can't, though.

how much more can other teams offer? just curious.

 

Maybe next time you will know what you're talking about before talking out of your ass.

Ehh, your usual cry me a river [expletive] makes it hard to read through your whining. Easy to see why this would slip past.

I know you're just kidding around but pshhh, that can be applied anywhere.

Also, we're a playoff team, we got the 6-seed! You can't find an open restaurant in town on Sundays! Did you know that Nick Collison is still in the league!

if no one can answer the question, i'll give it to you:

 

over the life of a max 5 year contract, an incumbent team can offer roughly $400,000 total more than any other.

 

not enough to make a difference.
