Nets, Guggenheim Talks Hit Snag
Talks between Guggenheim investors and Nets executives have stalled, reports Josh Kosman of the New York Post. Kosman hears that the discussion about a merger of assets that would give Guggenheim a share of Nets ownership is unlikely to resume, but sources indicate to Robert Windrem of NetsDaily that negotiations are not necessarily at an end. Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov still wants to cash out part of his majority stake in the franchise, but potential buyers are balking at the idea of shelling out a high price for a portion of a team that Prokhorov would still control, Kosman explains.
The Nets are seeking to sell part of the team based on a $1.8 billion valuation of the entire franchise, according to Kosman. That’s $100MM more than the higher of the two valuations the Nets were reportedly discussing with Guggenheim and $800MM greater than the valuation Brooklyn’s brass was seeking early in the offseason. A source who spoke to Kosman contended that Guggenheim doesn’t have the money available to meet the Nets’ asking price, a claim that’s difficult to believe based on the company’s willingness to spend lavishly on the Dodgers. A Guggenheim spokesperson denied any lack of funds, Kosman notes.
Still, the arm of Guggenheim that’s been involved in the Nets discussion, known as Guggenheim Sports and Entertainment Assets, is different from the one called Guggenheim Baseball Management that owns the Dodgers, a source told Windrem. Kosman, in his story, makes reference to talks that execs from Guggenheim Baseball Management had with the Nets, though it could be that the same officials oversee both corners of the Guggenheim empire.
A Guggenheim spokesperson told Kosman that the Nets never made a proposal and that Dodgers CEO Mark Walter had no interest in securing a stake in the NBA team for his company. However, Walter told Kosman a week ago that he hoped a Guggenheim-Nets merger would take place but hadn’t seen any financial data on the Brooklyn franchise or the Barclays Center arena. Guggenheim president Todd Boehly reportedly met with Prokhorov, Nets minority owner Bruce Ratner and Nets CEO Brett Yormark a couple of weeks ago in Moscow.
Nuggets Sign Kenneth Faried To Extension
WEDNESDAY, 7:12pm: The deal is official, the team has announced. GM Tim Connelly said of Faried, “We value the energy and excitement that Kenneth brings night-in and night-out and we are thrilled to have reached an agreement on a contract extension. We are truly looking forward to watching Kenneth continue to grow as a player and leader for the Denver Nuggets.”
TUESDAY, 6:52pm: The deal contains incentives that could inflate the total value to $52MM over four years, reports Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post (via Twitter).
6:27pm: The deal has been reworked and will be a four-year, $50MM extension, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. The sticking point for the league, as Wojnarowski reported yesterday, was converting the pact from five years to four to comply with the provisions of the Designated Player rule that demand a player receives the maximum salary in the first year of an extension that covers five seasons. (Twitter links).
7:58am: The most likely outcome involves Faried ending up with a four-year, $48MM extension that runs through the 2018/19 season, perhaps with some incentive clauses that could lift the value of the deal, writes Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post.
MONDAY, 9:39am: The Nuggets are talking with the NBA about just how the extension can be structured under the rules, tweets Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. Wojnarowski indicates that the original intention was to make it a five-year extension, but that it could wind up as a four-year deal. The Yahoo! scribe calls the collective bargaining agreement language that mandates the maximum salary in the first season of an extension for a Designated Player “ambiguous, at best.”
8:34am: The Nuggets and Kenneth Faried struck a deal Sunday night on a five-year, $60MM extension, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. It’s not entirely clear whether Wojnarowski means that the extension will cover five seasons by itself or the four years that follow this coming season. That’s because $60MM almost certainly wouldn’t be enough to cover the provisions of the Designated Player rule that would mandate that Faried receive the maximum salary in the first year of an extension that covers five seasons. In any case, the final season will be partially guaranteed, giving the Nuggets a chance to save $8MM that year in the seemingly unlikely event that they waive the power forward.
The Nuggets jumped into extension discussions with agent Thad Foucher in July, the earliest they could have come to a deal. It appears the conversation was slow-going, but according to Wojnarowski, the sides began to exchange “serious proposals” this week. Faried, who turns 25 next month, no doubt helped his cause with a breakout performance at the FIBA World Cup in late August and early September, when he averaged 12.4 points and 7.8 rebounds in just 21.5 minutes per game for Team USA. I wrote in late July that Faried seemed in line for a four-year, $44MM deal, and a GM told Sean Deveney of The Sporting News that he envisioned annual salaries below $10MM for Faried before the World Cup boosted his estimation into the range of Al Jefferson‘s $13.5MM yearly paydays.
The former No. 22 pick had already begun to change perceptions with his improvement last season. His name appeared in a handful of early-season trade rumors, and the Nuggets, worried that Foucher would seek $10MM+ annual salaries, reportedly brought him up in trade discussions at about this time last year. The “Manimal” convinced the Nuggets he was worth that kind of money, setting a career high with 13.7 PPG in 27.2 MPG in his third NBA season, a rate that extrapolates to 18.1 points per 36 minutes, the best mark of anyone on the team who played at least 1,000 total minutes. He also recorded a team-high 19.8 PER. Still, he’s not a strong defender, as Cray Allred of Hoops Rumors noted in August when he examined Faried as an extension candidate.
Nuggets GM Tim Connelly and Faried both expressed interest over the offseason in a long-term future with each other, so it’s not surprising to see the sides come to terms. Depending on how Faried’s $60MM will be spread, the Nuggets will have about $60MM in total salaries for 2015/16. Still, it’s possible that Denver will have cap room that exceeds the value of the largest mid-level exception next summer, particularly if the cap rises to $70MM, as some teams project.
Extension Candidate: Enes Kanter
Enes Kanter has started all of 39 games in his three seasons in the league, hardly the figure associated with most players upon whom teams bestow rookie scale extensions. There are precedents, with the Grizzlies having extended Quincy Pondexter last fall in spite of a resume that included just 15 starts, and the Nuggets signed Kosta Koufos to an extension in 2012 on the same day that he made his 15th career start. Still, it’s surprising to see that the Jazz have opened talks with the Max Ergul client and that GM Dennis Lindsey is already envisioning a long-term future with the 6’11” center.
It’s especially remarkable considering that the Jazz aren’t hurting for big men with potential. They inked Derrick Favors to a four-year, $48MM extension a year ago, a few months after signing 7’1″ Rudy Gobert, the No. 27 overall pick in the 2013 draft who made significant strides with his game this summer, as Grantland’s Zach Lowe detailed. Utah figures to finish near the bottom of the NBA standings again, and three of the top five draft prospects for 2015 play either power forward or center, according Jonathan Givony’s DraftExpress rankings. There’s logic in doing a deal if the price is right, but even a relatively inexpensive commitment carries an opportunity cost of some kind. Flexibility is a commodity around the league, and it wouldn’t seem to make much sense for Utah to be tethered to Kanter if by the end of the season he’s proven a poor match with Favors and Gobert has outplayed him.
Kanter and Favors shared the floor for 772 minutes last season, which works out to roughly 10.5 minutes per contest in games in which they both appeared. That’s hardly the amount of time that seemed reasonable to expect for the pair of former No. 3 overall picks in the first season following the departures of Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap. Former Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin instead favored a starting lineup that featured Favors playing alongside small-ball power forward Marvin Williams. Corbin and Williams are no longer with Utah, but it remains to be seen whether new coach Quin Snyder will give Kanter and Favors more time to mesh on the floor.
By himself, Kanter’s numbers rose as he saw more playing time. His minutes shot up to 26.7 per game after he saw just 15.4 the previous season, and he took advantage of the extra burn to put up 12.3 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. His per-36-minutes stats indicate that he would have averaged a double-double, if only barely so, in starter’s minutes, but Kanter wasn’t especially efficient. His 15.6 PER was down from 17.6 the previous season, and his field goal percentage dipped under 50%, too, thanks in part to more mid-range looks. Still, he shot worse from just about every distance in 2013/14 than he did in 2012/13, according to Basketball-Reference.
Kanter didn’t offer much rim protection, blocking just 0.7 shots per game last season, and he came in next to last among the 66 centers ESPN ranked according to its defensive real plus-minus statistic. The Jazz gave up 112.0 points per 100 possessions with Kanter on the floor last season, exceeding the league-worst 109.1 points per 100 possessions the team gave up as a whole, according to NBA.com. Utah was worse offensively with Kanter in the lineup, too, and while statistics that measure how a team does with a player on the floor also encompass what his teammates do, they nonetheless paint a grim picture of Kanter’s production in a season that was the first true test of his ability as an NBA player.
The native of Switzerland was one of John Calipari‘s many heralded recruits for the University of Kentucky after he showed the ability to dominate opponents on the prep school circuit, but eligibility concerns kept him from ever suiting up for the Wildcats. That also cost NBA scouts and executives the chance to scout him against worthy competition, outside of his brief stint with Turkey’s Fenerbahce Ulker. Aside from the limited stretches of time he saw on the floor for the Jazz during his first two years in the NBA, last season was the first chance he had to play a significant role at an elite level.
The Jazz seem willing to chalk up his missteps last year to his inexperience, and Lindsey appears optimistic that better days are ahead. Pondexter’s four-year, $14MM deal and the $9MM spread over three seasons that the Nuggets gave Koufos serve as models for the sort of low-dollar extension that Lindsey probably has in mind. Teams pay a premium for size, and many wouldn’t mind having a center with upside for the rough equivalent of the taxpayer’s mid-level exception. Lindsey is no doubt wary that Kanter might show vast improvement this season and drive up his value, but that seems tough to bank on. Still, Utah’s apparent enthusiasm to strike a deal makes it quite conceivable, if not likely, that Kanter receives an extension before the October 31st deadline.
And-Ones: D-League, Bucks, Cuban, Faried
NBA teams can retain the D-League rights to as many as four of the players they cut at the end of the preseason, up from the previous limit of three, Hoops Rumors has learned. Still, if a team keeps the D-League rights to fewer than four such players, it can claim the D-League rights of someone it waives during the regular season, another new wrinkle that Gino Pilato of D-League Digest reported last month. Such decisions are among the many that teams will have to make around the end of the month, when they face rookie scale extension and option deadlines and must set their regular season rosters. Here’s more from around the NBA as those key dates approach.
- The Bucks have hired Deluxe Entertainment Services Group executive Peter Feigin as team president, the club announced. It appears as though he’ll handle business affairs for the Bucks while GM John Hammond will continue to run the team’s basketball operations.
- Mavs owner Mark Cuban downplayed the financial impact the league’s new TV deal will have on teams, but he suggested that the majority of owners won’t attempt to “cry poor” when they negotiate the next collective bargaining agreement with players. Jeff Caplan of NBA.com has the details, including Cuban’s prediction that most players won’t seek one-year deals this summer in an effort to time their free agencies with an influx of TV money in the summer of 2016.
- Kenneth Faried must continue his development and become a star to make his four-year, $50MM extension worthwhile for the Nuggets, argues Mark Kiszla of The Denver Post, who’s loath to bet against the power forward after a year of rapid growth.
Knicks Sign D.J. Mbenga
The Knicks have signed seven-year NBA veteran center D.J. Mbenga, the team announced (Twitter link). The team is limited to giving out only the minimum salary, but it’s unclear if any of it will be guaranteed for the 33-year-old who played under Knicks president Phil Jackson when he was coaching the Lakers. New York doesn’t have to let anyone go to make room, since the team had been carrying 18 players, two shy of the preseason roster limit of 20.
Mbenga hasn’t played an NBA regular season game since the 2010/11 season, but he was with the Mavs for the 2012/13 preseason. He spent the regular season that year playing in China and in the Philippines. The 7-footer’s greatest success came when he was with Jackson and averaged a career-high 2.7 points in 7.9 minutes per game for the title-winning 2008/09 Lakers. Mbenga has never seen more than 8.1 MPG in any NBA season.
The team made the signing with only training camp in mind, though it had been in the works for a while, tweets Marc Berman of the New York Post. There’s little opportunity for Mbenga or any of New York’s camp invitees to crack the 15-man regular season roster, since the team has 14 fully guaranteed deals and a partial guarantee with Samuel Dalembert, as I outlined Tuesday. Still, if the Knicks let him go and he’d like to play in the D-League, New York can retain his rights for its D-League affiliate.
Pacers Sign Frank Vogel To Extension
The Pacers have signed coach Frank Vogel to an extension, the team announced. The arrangement covers multiple seasons, but no other terms are immediately available. Vogel had been set to enter the final season of his existing deal.
The 41-year-old Vogel revealed last month that he and the team were in extension talks and said that he wanted to remain with the Pacers “forever.” It seemed an iffy proposition this spring that he would hold the job much longer, as Marc Stein of ESPN.com reported that the Pacers would dismiss him if the team performed poorly in the playoffs. GM Kevin Pritchard dismissed the notion, but Mark Jackson loomed as a potential replacement, as Stein wrote later. There even appeared to be an outside chance that president of basketball operations Larry Bird would oust Vogel and come down to the bench and coach in his place before the playoffs began. Bird nonetheless expressed confidence in Vogel during the final week of the regular season after making comments earlier in the season that seemed critical of Vogel’s coaching style.
Indiana reached the Eastern Conference Finals and took the Heat to six games before falling, nearly matching the team’s achievement the year before, when the Pacers extended the Heat to seven games in the same round. Still, the Pacers took a circuitous path back to that point, with a hot start to this past season and a disturbing post All-Star malaise. Indiana nonetheless held on to grab the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, but the franchise suffered a pair of painful losses in the offseason. Lance Stephenson rejected a five-year, $45MM offer to re-sign and bolted for the Hornets, while Paul George broke his leg during a Team USA scrimmage, likely knocking him out for the season.
Vogel’s tenure as Pacers coach dates to the 2010/11 season, when he took over on an interim basis for the final 38 games of the regular season and secured the team’s first playoff bid in five years. The Pacers removed the interim tag the following summer, and the Pacers went a round deeper into the playoffs the next two seasons before plateauing this spring. Vogel has compiled a 167-100 record in the regular season and a 28-26 mark in the playoffs over the course of his time as Indiana’s head coach.

New York Notes: Nets, Pierce, Knicks, Executives
The Nets and Knicks will renew their intracity rivalry this season as both teams hope to get off to faster starts than they did in 2013/14. Each club figures to be in the mix for a playoff spot again this season, so while we wait to see if we’ll have a subway series come the postseason, here’s the latest from the Big Apple:
- Nets GM Billy King insists the team is still doggedly pursuing a championship and isn’t focused on making financial cutbacks, telling reporters, including Newsday’s Rod Boone, that he still has permission from owner Mikhail Prokhorov to make expensive acquisitions. King made his remarks in response to Paul Pierce‘s assertion that the team was no longer willing to spend to win. ” . . . We have some younger guys like Mason Plumlee who are under rookie contracts, and that helps your payroll. But [Prokhorov] hasn’t wavered in pursuit of what he wants,” King said.
- That seems to conflict with King’s admission last month that money was a factor in the team’s decision not to re-sign Pierce and that the club doesn’t want to repeat its more than $190MM expenditure on players and luxury taxes last season. Pierce’s representatives with Excel Sports Management asked the Nets for a two-year, $24MM deal this summer, but the Nets didn’t want to pay that much, according to Boone.
- Former Magic GM John Gabriel‘s influence is growing within the Knicks front office, reports Marc Berman of the New York Post. Gabriel, who holds the title of director of basketball operations, is on the upswing while former Nuggets GM and current Knicks director of player personnel Mark Warkentien is losing sway, and assistant GM Allan Houston doesn’t have the pull that he once had, either, Berman adds.
- The Knicks have hired former D-League assistant and small college head coach Kevin Whitted as head coach of their D-League affiliate, the team announced. Whitted went to college with Houston, who serves as the GM of the Knicks D-League affiliate in addition to his duties with the big club.
Jamaal Franklin Signs To Play In China
Former Grizzlies shooting guard Jamaal Franklin has signed a two-month deal with the Zhejiang Guangsha Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association, as he tells Mark Zeigler of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Chema de Lucas of Gigantes del Basket was the first to report that the 41st overall pick from 2013 was headed to China (Twitter link; translation via HoopsHype). Franklin will serve as a replacement for Jonathan Gibson, an injured Lions guard. It’s unclear just how much Franklin will make as part of the arrangement.
Franklin, 23, worked out for the Spurs shortly after the Grizzlies waived him at the end of August, and it appears as though he auditioned for the Wizards, too. The Brian Elfus client indicated to Zeigler that he had opportunities to join an NBA team for camp on a non-guaranteed deal but decided against doing so for financial reasons. Franklin saw limited action this past season with Memphis, racking up nearly three times as many total minutes on D-League assignment as he saw in the NBA. He averaged 1.9 points and 1.1 rebounds in 7.7 minutes per game across 21 NBA appearances. Still, he displayed a better long-range shooting stroke than he demonstrated in college at San Diego State, nailing 38.2% of his three-point attempts in the NBA and the D-League combined.
Memphis used the stretch provision to reduce Franklin’s guaranteed minimum salary for this season to just $163,296. Since the value of his Chinese deal is unknown, it’s not clear whether it’ll be enough to trigger the right of set-off to further reduce the amount the Grizzlies owe him.
Sixers Sign Lee, Gordon, Cut Bogans, Varnado
The Sixers have signed Malcolm Lee and Drew Gordon, and they waived Keith Bogans and Jarvis Varnado to make room on the 20-man preseason roster, the team announced (Twitter link). The team reportedly came to agreements with both Lee and Gordon prior to camp, but they were left off the team’s roster when training camp began. The dismissal of Varnado is somewhat surprising, since he had a $75K partial guarantee and the team had been carrying eight players with non-guaranteed contracts. Bogans was one of those eight, and his nearly $5.3MM salary was the largest by far, so it’s certainly not a shock to see Philadelphia part ways with him. The Sixers have plenty of capacity to exceed the minimum salary in their new arrangements with Lee and Gordon, but the terms aren’t immediately clear.
Lee was one of a handful of players to work out for the Lakers in late August, and he also worked out for the Nets earlier in the summer, though that audition seemed to be geared mostly toward summer league. The 24-year-old guard appeared in summer league with the Raptors, but the two-year NBA veteran will attempt to officially return to the league with the Sixers after sitting out 2013/14, in part because of injury. Gordon, a 24-year-old power forward, was with the Sixers in summer league after splitting this past season between Italy and Turkey. He also had a stop in Serbia after going undrafted out of New Mexico in 2012, and this will be his first NBA preseason experience.
Bogans joined the Sixers after a pair of trades brought him from the Celtics through Cleveland. He sat out much of last season as Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge sought to use his sizable non-guaranteed deal in a trade. Varnado hooked on with both the Bulls and the Sixers via 10-day contracts last season, and Philadelphia elected to keep him for the balance of 2013/14 when its short-term deal with the power forward ran out, tacking the partially guaranteed 2014/15 season onto his contract.
The moves leave the Sixers with a full 20-man preseason roster. Only nine of their players known to have fully guaranteed deals, and the release of Varnado makes it an even more wide open race for the final regular season roster spots.
Teams With Open Regular Season Roster Spots
Training camp is decision time for NBA teams as they put the finishing touches on the rosters they’ll carry into the regular season after an offseason of movement. I profiled four teams that face particularly difficult choices primarily because they possess too many guaranteed contracts. A much larger group of teams have fewer than 15 players will full guarantees, meaning there’s a chance for players with little or no guaranteed money to stick around for opening night.
Teams are only obligated to carry 13 players in the regular season, and as I noted last month, many in recent years have elected not to fill their rosters to the 15-man maximum for opening night. Still, using the Hoops Rumors Roster Counts as a guide, it’s possible to handicap the battles going on for potential regular season jobs around the league, even as much remains unknown. Here’s a look at where each team with fewer than 15 guaranteed contracts stands.
Six open spots
- Sixers: Ronald Roberts Jr., JaKarr Sampson and Jarvis Varnado all have partially guaranteed deals, but none seem like locks. Second-round pick K.J. McDaniels probably has the best shot of making it from the team’s pool of eight non-guaranteed contracts.
Four open spots
- Cavaliers: One of the opening-night jobs will assuredly go to Anderson Varejao, who has a partially guaranteed contract, but beyond Alex Kirk, who has a smaller partial guarantee, it’s a toss-up.
- Heat: Justin Hamilton is the only one of the team’s four players with partial guarantees who has any NBA experience, one reason why it’s not a slam-dunk that those will be the four the team elects to keep at the end of the month. The Heat are already reportedly penciling in Shannon Brown, who’s on a non-guaranteed deal, for an important role.
Three open spots
- Bulls: Chicago has traditionally carried only the league-minimum 13 players on opening night, so beyond the partially guaranteed deal of E’Twaun Moore, it’s tough to say anyone on the team without a full guarantee has a clear path to opening night.
- Pelicans: There certainly aren’t any assurances that New Orleans will carry a full 15-man roster to start the regular season, either, but if the Pelicans do, small partial guarantees out to Luke Babbitt, Darius Miller and Patric Young make them the favorites for the jobs.
Two open spots
- Jazz: Toure’ Murry has the team’s largest partial guarantee, giving him an edge for one of the spots, but presuming the team carries 15 players for the start of the regular season, it’s a fairly wide open race for the last vacancy.
- Kings: Sim Bhullar and Eric Moreland each possess an advantage thanks to partially guaranteed money, but neither appears particularly safe against the three other camp invitees, all of whom are on non-guaranteed deals.
- Lakers: Ronnie Price picked up key endorsements from Kobe Bryant and Byron Scott, and Wayne Ellington and Jeremy Tyler also have the advantage of NBA experience. Still, no one appears to be a lock.
- Nets: Diminutive partial guarantees to Jorge Gutierrez and second-round pick Cory Jefferson give them slight edges over the non-guaranteed Jerome Jordan and Willie Reed.
- Nuggets: The addition of former NBA starting small forward Alonzo Gee on a non-guaranteed deal puts heat on former second-round picks Quincy Miller and Erick Green, each of whom has a partial guarantee.
- Pacers: One of these open spots belongs to Luis Scola and his partial guarantee, and Shayne Whittington‘s smaller partial guarantee gives him a leg up on the competition for the other.
- Raptors: As with the Pacers and Scola, the Raptors will almost certainly keep Amir Johnson‘s partially guaranteed deal. Proven commodities Jordan Hamilton and Greg Stiemsma would seem to have better shots at the final opening than rookie Will Cherry for a team with playoff aspirations, but we’ll see.
- Warriors: All five players without full guarantees for Golden State have some partially guaranteed salary, with Leandro Barbosa seemingly the chief contender for a regular season job. The other spot, presuming Golden State carries 15 players on opening night, seems like a toss-up.
- Wizards: Glen Rice Jr. has the inside track on one of the openings thanks to his small partial guarantee, while Damion James and Xavier Silas reportedly are the favorites for the other job. Still, it appears there’s a strong chance the team will have only 14 players come opening night.
One open spot
- Bucks: The team will almost certainly keep Kendall Marshall‘s non-guaranteed deal.
- Clippers: Doc Rivers brought only 16 players to camp, so it’s seemingly a mano a mano between Joe Ingles and Jared Cunningham for the 15th spot. Still, it’s quite conceivable that the team will simply carry its 14 fully guaranteed contracts come opening night, given the emphasis on winning now rather than on player development in L.A.
- Grizzlies: Veterans Michael Beasley and Earl Clark look like the favorites here.
- Hawks: Atlanta seems destined to keep the partially guaranteed deal of 2013 second-round pick Mike Muscala.
- Hornets: Jason Maxiell looks like the favorite, but Charlotte has no guaranteed money beyond the 14 players with full guarantees, so there’s a strong chance the team will carry only those 14 come opening night.
- Knicks: The 15th regular season roster spot will almost assuredly go to Samuel Dalembert, who has a partially guaranteed deal.
- Magic: The team reportedly signed Peyton Siva with the D-League in mind, and Seth Curry, who’s played all of two games in the league, is the only other NBA veteran among the players on the Magic without full guarantees. Orlando made a move to secure his D-League rights today, and that seems to signal that the team is more likely to waive him than keep him for opening night. So, Orlando seems like a strong candidate to carry just 14 players at the start of the regular season.
- Thunder: The edge goes to Lance Thomas, but he, like the rest of the Thunder players without full guarantees, doesn’t have any partially guaranteed salary.
Full rosters (15 or more fully guaranteed contracts):
- Celtics
- Mavericks
- Pistons
- Rockets
- Spurs
- Suns
- Timberwolves
- Trail Blazers
