    I hope. He made 4 million last year. A 6 million dollar raise or 150% should make him pretty happy. The cap didn't go up 150%

    I didnt realize Mozgov only made 5 million last year. I thought he made like 10.

    So maybe mahinmi won't sign for 10

    if you're still too upset to watch the whole thing. Just skip to 45 seconds in, and watch him put Teague on skates.

    Also 1:39 is dope as fuck.

    Bc nobody wants to play in this city even tho we have a:

    (Suppose) Young superstar
    Up coming star
    Coach of the year runner up
    Gm of the year runner up
    Playoff noise

    So why did we do this signing? We had no choice

    Well next year, when Tyreke Evans is making like 30 million (or more) I think everyone will calm down.

    How about CJ and Lilliard keeping teams honest and unable to load up on Evan?

    Oh neat, he's got a youtube highlight reel...



    Like when CJ & Lillard kept teams honest and unable to load up on Crabbe, Henderson, Aminu and Harkless? What's your point?

    I've pretty much lost complete confidence that we can ever build a contender in Portland. When you have to overpay middling free agents just to get them to consider us you pretty much guarantee yourself to be stuck in NBA purgatory.

    It's not that Turner is even a bad player. He makes is marginally better if he replaces Henderson and we bring everyone else back. But then we are going into the luxury tax to field a fucking team that has Evan Turner taking up 20% of the salary cap. So I can't see that happening, clearly at least one of our RFAs is not coming back and if that's the case we pretty much stay the same as last year except our payroll is now 2x higher with huge extensions to CJ and Plumlee coming up. Seriously, fuck this shit. Evan Turner literally has to turn into Paul George out of nowhere for this to be a success.

    On the good side, he can't do that to us again this year.

    Last year's team improved as the season went on. They are young and will improve this year. I expect 52-57 wins.

    You missed the point of the post, but I expect that from you so it's okay.

    In what year of his contract will Turner take up 20% of the cap.

    This year: 16/94= 17%
    Next year: 17/110=15%

    and you assume it will only get lower.

    I don't think it's as bad as you make it. He really is very good with the ball in his hands and I think he can make Dame and CJ better.

    My biggest problem with this is the opportunity cost this year because it was our only chance to get an impact FA, and we didn't address our most pressing need which was rim protection.

    But all that said, I'd rather have Turner at 4/70 than Baze at 4/80 or even Parsons at 4/94
