    Do whatever's nessecary financially as long as it's fair. Then if we still have the MLE see what we can get and what we need.

    Olynyk and Ezeli are two of the best interior defenders in the league. Joe Jackson was ROY in the NBDL. Gillis is the big PG we need and played at a college that isn't unlike Pippen's and TRob is a player I know you think sucks and doesn't need me to prove you wrong.

    We would have MLE if we resign everyone. We would have a partial MLE if we don't.

    I'd be down. Its kind of more exciting to think of bringing in a new player but we can have the most talent by staying over the cap. With the rising cap it's an ideal time to lock in contracts. The Blazers crappy finish to the season could be a blessing in disguise; if we made the conference finals and lost we might have to spend $14million each to bring back Wes/Rolo and $10 million for AAA. Now it'll be easy to retain everyone at a good buy low time and avoid major concerns of luxury tax. With our players having familiarity to our system and teammates I think they nearly all have more value to us than to other teams. AAA is really the only odd man out if we resign Wes and don't trade Nic. I'd like to bring him back but only if the deal is right and he might get more from New York. It would be awesome to have him and CJ and Meyers as our three main players off the bench though. Meyers at the 4/5, AAA at the 2/3 and CJ at the 1/2. Not to mention there will always be a few injuries at the least and hopefully not but possibly a stretch of many injuries. But regardless of AAA the rest of our roster has a great mix of upside and veterans; its best in PDX.

    We don't have any choice in where free agents decide to play and Olshey said we're going to be very active through the draft and trades so I think we'll see changes. This season's roster was one of my favorites over the years so I have no problem bringing players back. I just have serious doubts it'll happen
