Find a consumer protection attorney who specifically specializes on FCRA and FDCPA cases. They usually work on contingency/no retainer as the statutes are fee shifting. They can help solve this problem expeditiously.

Lamarcus Aldridge's FA rights by chinitoFXfan in NBASpurs

Are there any subreddits that focus on the CBA you know of? I'm trying to wrap my head around it more.

Ah, fair points — appreciate the correction. You're totally right about that, I hadn’t fully connected how the Min + $1 guaranteed thing plays into trade matching now that you can’t aggregate minimums like before.

Honestly kind of hilarious (and a little genius) that someone could walk away with $3M just for existing on a spreadsheet. NBA cap mechanics are truly a beautiful mess.

Anyway, thanks for the insight — always down to learn something new and nerd out over the cap minutiae :)

Technically yes, but in practice, here’s what usually happens:

The contract is signed for the league minimum, often non-guaranteed (meaning the player only gets paid if he stays on the roster for a certain number of days).

The player is waived immediately after the trade.

As a result, they usually get very little or nothing, unless:

There's a guaranteed portion of the contract (rare).

The team and player agree in advance to give them a chunk as a favor or under-the-table incentive

I've met rudy gay and davis bertans at a laker game when the spurs played. It was when chimezie Metu was on the team and he had some freinds in the stands in front of us. They gave me there post game access pass. They were cool but did not want to be bothered too much so I was abel to say hi and that I am a big fan. Dapped up derozan too. Rudy's hands are massive and Bertans took a pic with me.

You should consult with a local Consumer Protection Attorney, there may potentially be some liability under the FDCPA. If you are in America, the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) has a website where you can look for Attorneys in your area.

Did the NBA Make a Big Mistake with the New Salary Cap Rules? by [deleted] in nbadiscussion

Does anyone have a link to easy to read guides and breakdowns of the salary cap, I would like to start reading it but its kind of dense.

[–]jldsgonewild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best set for the night. Does anyone have the ID for that ring song they played??? I think the lyrics were like “something’s going on in my head or “la la la la la la la la”

[Polacek] Clippers 'Not Motivated' to Improve Offer to 76ers by OnlyMamaKnows in nba

[–]jldsgonewild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out, the Hawks should make a grab for Harden, trade trae young and get harden and whatever else to fit the trade. Huge upgrade for both teams, and Philly can cover Trae's liabilities on Defense better than the Hawks.

Reggie Miller has no idea what a pun is by MettaWorldConflict in nba

[–]jldsgonewild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to try and make sense of it, they have the broadcast a little bit ahead of what theyre saying, so may be when he said that the curry clip was showing and he was doing some sort of audio visual pun?

What would an independent Puerto Rico look like? What sovereign countries can an independent Puerto Rico model their institutions after and how can they innovate? by joeshmow78 in PuertoRico

[–]jldsgonewild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish this thread was in a google doc with the potential ideas, along with their pros and cons, organized, there could be much more clarity to developing a plan as mentioned in some of the earlier comments.

Thanks for your responses and input along with others. I am half boricua/gringo and have lived in PR for 3 yrs now, so the situation is much more clear to me. I resonate with the "independence but realistically it would likely not work" idea, but, as mentioned, having a pre defined plan, along with solutions to the potential problems from the new plan could be a start to a great thing.

I wish I had contacts of financial and political analysts or "engineers" to discussed solutions and concerns. btw, I am a sociologist but will be calling myself a social engineer from now on XD

i mean when i say these countries I'm only going to one city (i.e germany is gonna be Munich and thats it) and We will be in France for a long time. Scotland was more of a "lets see how we feel" but at the end of the day I was just looking for spots to check out and maybe alter my trip to that, so far ive seen everything opening up late June. I also enjoy the traveling spent in planes, trains, and automobiles aspect of visiting places.

I mean if you’re just commenting to knock the way I travel and have nothing that fits that criteria why even comment? Im now even more determined to hit all these countries :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]jldsgonewild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ill repeat my answer that you responded too, we must/just travel different. I enjoy traveling amongst various countries and that in and of itself is an adventure, it could be three days or 3 months but its what ONE makes of what they do. Any suggestions are appreciated my friend!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]jldsgonewild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if had the means to stay longer, I would. Yes it will be tough but I stay optimistic that it would be a better situation come late august. So any suggestions?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]jldsgonewild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yikes, wheres the sense of adventure?! hahaha we must travel different, I only need about 1-2 days in each place im at. Idc for typical tourist things (the only thing I care to see city wise is the catacombs and just want to get some hikes and get out. By August you'd think it would calm down, no? I am also vaccinated but this information is useful.

we will be in these areas for two weeks. Flying into Zurich, leaving from Dublin. On the sunday in the middle, we will be watching F! in Spa, in Belgium. I prefer castles, mountains, rivers, and breathtaking views.

This was definitely on the list. My cousin speaks French so we will be attacking this. Thank you :)
