Probably worth noting (and I'm sure this will be a fairly common mistake) that his contract will rise in y2 & y3. Still a great contract though.
Yep. I assumed we're using actual contract for all years, correct? Or is there a set rate we're using in this for future years?
Yes. So Harden's S2 salary will be his 16/17 salary, S3 = 17/18 etc. (Harden is actually 16m for S1, btw). 16m -> 17m -> 18m.
Edit: appears the site I was using was wrong, don't use this site guys: http://hoopshype.com/salaries/houston_rockets/ Yep he's 16mill, damn.
Annnd the dilemma (competition) begins for the PF/ C spots. Are we gonna have a pre season [MENTION=3]Eds[/MENTION]?
Haven't decided yet. Probably not though as the season will likely be pretty long anyway. EDIT: How come you picked Gortat when you've already got Splitter on the bench?
The difficulty will definitely be with his salary. I'd say he's definitely one of the best players left, but who's going to be able to take on that salary if you're looking to trade post-draft?
