Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 5432883, member: 767"] Was just listening to Zach Lowe and he was making the point that they were a team kinda built before the aprons were a thing. Maybe in this environment they would've squeezed a guy like Porter a little. (They did partially guarantee the final year of his deal but then it fully triggered when they won the title). But at the same time, Porter is signed for a max of 25% of the cap; they were a contending team and he was a young talented player, like I said maybe they squeeze him a little more in the current environment but you aren't getting Porter signed to a contract at like 12.5% of the cap. $25-30 million for Braun sounds a little insane at first blush (and maybe it is!), but $25 million a year is 16% of the cap next year. Edit: Though they didn't squeeze Murray at all last summer, they gave him a max. Which ehhh, I dunnoooo Jimmmm [/QUOTE]
