    Strong possibility Brook opts out after the year and is an expiring contract. Not like he has 3 years left. Even if he stayed, he would be gone before any Lillard extension kicked in.

    and... When all the players are "Bird Players", the team can go well over that cap

    So we'll match dollars on a max contract, lose multiple players in the process, disrupt team chemistry on a 16-5 team only to have him opt out? While we're fringe championship contenders?

    Portland doesn't want to be in a multiplier tax scenario.

    We would have to look toward the bottom of the bench.

    Joe Johnson would be awesome but he's making stupid money. Impossible to trade for him.

    No we wouldn't match a max deal to him. I think he's a better player than kaman is. So you're taking that same fringe title contender and improving the best bench piece on that team. Wright and Robinson don't play. It's not like we're losing multiple contributors.
