That means he's also official for next season; it also means that we have a little over $1M less to spend on free agents next Summer.

---2014-2015 2015-2016
Acy $915,243 $1,181,348
I think when he says next season it means this coming season.
If Acy turns out to be good, we have some time in June-July to pick up his TO salary next year

I think you are right. Acy's deal becomes guaranteed for 2014. His deal and Tyler's were very similar. The key to the Acy deal was Ellington's deal could be amnestied. Outlaws could not.
On hoopshype and shamsports they have Acy with a team option on 2015/2016 contract
Marion signing with Cleveland.

This could be a great pick up. He will play the Battier role and come off the bench to play with either Love or James. I know people will point to his defense but I think that has been slipping the few years. Bottom line is he should be a good backup 3/4 unless his age catches up to him.

I thought that, but I read on some forums that the Mavs actually did worse with him on the floor, and that he actually has had a negative impact the past couple of seasons. No idea if it's true, but I do think he's going to age dramatically next season (defense is slipping and so is his shooting)
Anthony Randolph signed a contract to play in Russia.

Will they let him play PG?

I do believe at the time I said the David Lee for Anthony Randolph trade was a "trade that saved our franchise"!

Fun quote for some of the non ball watcher posters.
For every time someone threw his per 36 minute points or rebounds averages at you, it was pretty simple to counter with his ghastly turnover numbers or usage. For instance, Randolph posted an above average PER in every season he played except his last season, which is the sole reason I know longer trust the stat. Hey, you try watching Randolph for a season and a half and try trusting something that tells you he’s good. In fact, if Anthony Randolph taught me any one thing in his five years in the NBA it’s that you need to watch the games and the numbers. So, thanks. I guess.
The Minnesota Timberwolves will trade Luc Mbah a Moute, Alexey Shved and the first round pick in 2015 belonging to the Miami Heat to the Philadelphia 76ers for Thaddeus Young.Mbah a Moute's value to the 76ers, at least in part, comes from his close relationship with Joel Embiid.
There had been speculation that Anthony Bennett would be traded to the 76ers, but he will stay with the Wolves following his trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Thad provided great value for Philly
I knew he had value
I can't think of anyone on our roster outside of Melo
Who fetches this value right now if on the block
Hopefully Phil can execute a trade like this down the road
Philly dips even lower in minimum payroll
Maybe they are serious about taking Amar'e eventually
Also, Garcia resigns for 1 year in Houston.

This proves that it only takes one team to believe in you. Thad is an overrated player, imo. The trade makes little sense unless thad has guaranteed that he will opt in. That is technically not allowed though. So the wolves are giving up a 1st to rent a player that is a poor scorer and rebounder coming off a terrible year going to another young team in a better conference where there are more power forwards than stretch 4s.
It's a real gamble especially when you are trying to resuscitate Bennett who is also a 4.

Well maybe I could be speaking too heavy handed post history
We should know about the 1 team faith movement
Bargnani I guess proved he had similar value
It's unfortunate we overrated him
Everything else you said, I agree with his fit on their team out there
Although he'd be wonderful here
And had we traded a similar package like we did with Bargs for him
It would be supported, especially if Phil was the one made the trade

I kind of agree but then it would've been for 2yrs plus a PO in the 3rd year. If that trade would have been made this year for those assets we had people would would have been on both sides of the fence. He probably is better on a team that doesn't expect him to score. His venture as a 3pt shooter has been sketchy and turns him into a cheaper Josh Smith. If Minny lets him stay inside the arch things will probably go well for him.
Would I take him over Bargs? Yes and if anyone say they wouldn't needs stop it. I think even Nix wouldn't argue about that.
Young on a better team is better.
Young might resign a more team friendly deal if he opts out.
Minny won't suck forever. Basically they got two over all no. 1's and if Bennett lives up to 3/4 of his draft position they could be solid at the PF.
ONe does his homework and looks at why he busted his rookie year. if he pans out, and wiggins becomes Kobe, they make out like bandits. NOt that cleveland would be the "Loser" either if Wes and Uncle Drew works well with Lebron.
Kobe Bryant signed a two-year, $48.5 million contract extension last season, three weeks before he suffered a fractured left kneecap.The contract, which the Los Angeles Lakers and Bryant signed by design to recognize Bryant's value, makes Bryant nearly impossible to trade even if the frachise tried.
“Zero. Look at that number. Who takes him?" one NBA GM said when asked about Bryant's value on the market.
Bryant’s plan is to retire in two years, though he says he reserves the right to change his mind.
I wonder who the ghost GM is
The Lakers would never trade him
However the Kobe Max, there is nothing attractive about it
Diss!!
