About

Hi, my name is Josh Vannuccini. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Professional Writing and Publishing in Australia. I have followed the NBA and the Miami Heat since 2005, when I bought NBA Live 2005 (memories...). However, I like to write about every NBA team, and hope to one day become a Featured Columnist with B/R or a Correspondent writer for the NBA. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them on my Bulletin Board or email me at vannuccini@hotmail.com.au

    haha have you? thats awesome. I loved your article on Why The Heat Will Go To The NBA Finals. Boston or Philly wont be able to keep up with them and if Miami gets Bosh back it will be over quickly. But I don’t see them beating OKC or SA

    No problem Josh. I have enjoyed your work and I hope you enjoy mine too. And ahaha really? What a coincidence! It’s a popular name, I guess. Congrats on being accepted into B/R and welcome to the community!

    Hey Josh, Happy to become a fan of yours! I really like all of your NBA coverage, especially your piece a few days ago about the Spurs route to the finals. I'm a Lakers guy at heart and wish they could go farther, though it seems like their run may be over soon with OKC. But I really enjoy the Spurs methodical and fundamental-based style. Anyway, thanks again!

    thanks for the apology, i understood where you were coming from, and just felt that I should explain myself, which is what i did.

    Now that we got that out of the way I want to ask you some questions about possibly writing for bustasports so can you email me at lmssports@hotmail.com

    thanks

    hey josh, saw your bulletin board post.

    just like you, i have a blog/website and i'm trying to make it big. I wanted advice from experienced writers, but I assumed they wouldn't respond to me if I just asked them to see my blog. I was wrong all around. Most people didn't respond to me when I sent that long paragraph because they saw I sent it to others. I regretted writing it a lot, and actually went through peoples profiles deleting my comment, but I guess I didn't delete all of them.

    I'm not some spammer, and I feel bad about my "spamming". It was a dumb thing to do, and which I realized as soon as I had finished doing it.

    please get back to me about what u think of my comment, thanks

    Looks like you were right on, on your blogspot, about J.R Smith being a cancer for the Knicks! Good call man. Keep up the good work there.

    Once over the cap space, deals must be within 25% of each other. You cannot trade up over the cap beyond that number. Regardless of how the trade pans out, teams will pay dollar for dollar Luxury Tax. When under the cap, you can trade for any salary difference you want. The difference gives the team with less salary a "Trade Exception" (see: Lamar Odom to Dallas for example). This lasts for one season, meaning that the team with the Trade Exception has a cap space bubble for that dollar amount. They can trade within that bubble, but will end up paying luxury tax on it anyways. This is one of the best resources out there for these questions: https://webfiles.uci.edu/lcoon/cbafaq/salarycap.htm

    Hey, thanks so much for the kind words. I appreciate it and am glad you love the trade ideas! It's something I've been doing obsessively since about 6th grade (thank you NBA Live '96!). Even since then, from covering the NBA as a game reporter, writer, analyst/consultant, etc. it's still probably my favorite part of the game. Cheers!
