Happy day for Deron Williams return, but let's think about Mirza Teletovic.
Mirza Teletovic is a Bosnian player and has never played in NBA. He is the score leader of Euro league, and great player for scoring for Europe, but, anyway, he is the first time to play in NBA.
Nets announced they're gonna pay 15 mil/ 3 yrs for him. Now that makes some problems of salary caps.
If Nets contracted him as full MLE, Nets have about 54 mil for only 6 players.( Deron Williams & Joe Johnson & Gerald Wallace & MarShon Brooks & Reggie Evans & him. )
We left around 19mil. That money is if Howard would be coming to the Nets, our salary is done. In other side, if we would resign with Brook Lopez and Kris Humphries with that salary, our bench players are gonna be worst in the NBA.
How about trade Lopez and Hump and Brooks for Howard? Then we have 74mil for only 6 players.( DWill & JJ & Crash & Reggie Evans & Howard. ) We cannot pay anything.
If we pay less money for Teletovic like 9 mil / 3 yrs, we can avoid from hard cap salary and trade players and sign with vet minimun. So Teletovic's salary is pretty important.
In my opinion, Nets would rather adjust Teletovic's contract. I mean make lower. If Nets still did not give up for Howard, it must be. Well, some people don't want to get Howard right now, but I think Nets need him if we want to be a champ.
What do you guys think about this?
