    Blue moon poster here:

    I think it would be a brilliant move for Olshey put out an offer sheet for Leonard with a poison pill in the contract like the Blazers did when they tried to acquire Paul Milsap from Utah. It's a win-win for us, either the Spurs match the deal but don't have enough money to sign LA and he comes back or we get an All-star small forward and LA comes back.

    That is the first move I would make in free agency if I was Olshey.

    But doing that would prevent the Blazers from going after other free agents since whatever contract we offer would temporarily count against the salary cap.

    I think the risk is worth the potential reward.

    Neil actually did that to Kahn during the Batum offer sheet.

    He waited until the last minute and it cost MN their plan B - Courtney Lee.

    you can't do what we did to Millsap and Wes anymore--the new CBA took that part away.

    You can only offer a 10% signing bonus to RFAs, and can only pay 25% of the annual salary up front. Plus, it's been done before. So while it worked with Wes (partially because we made it so that a car dealership owner had to pay 10M in cash in less than a week), today owners and GMs know about that trick so they generally have cash on hand for that eventuality.

    I'd argue we did Minne a favor on Lee.

    I didn't know that. I don't follow the ins and outs of the game like most of you guys do on here. Thank you for the information.

    It's why I don't post as much on here. Obvious noob is obvious.
