    I think Olshey is waiting to see if Leonard accepts the $4M qualifying offer or fetches an offer sheet. What we sign Ezeli for and who we get rid of is dependant on that.

    While Olshey is waiting on Leonard, I think Ezeli's agent is fetching other offers. I think Ezeli wants to come to Portland so I think he holds off on signing those offers to see what cap space Portland clears and what he ends up with as a final offer.

    I think that Olshey is also telling Crabbe and Moe to hold off on signing offer sheets until they sign Ezeli, promising to match whatever they get offered should they wait.

    Iffy means: "Ehhh there might be some problems". Of course there might be some problems, that's obvious. His tweet just said what everyone already knows.

    And of course the Mavs guy is an advocate for Bogut, the guy they just got.

    Maybe they are stalling for the Vegas summer league games this weekend. With our luck it will be Moses Malone all over again. We release Alexander and then he goes for 25 and 20 that night.

    1. You can be pretty elite at one thing and out of the league entirely.
    2. A lot of RFAs are still available. We like Crabbe and his status is still up in the air entirely.
    3. Maybe before they got Durant, everybody thought GState would match.

    We can have more than 15 players until into preseason, can't we? And releasing Alexander doesn't save us any money to speak of, does it?

    Why would anyone have reason to believe he will fail his physical?

    I know what you mean.... You think they'd menton in the Zagat's Guide. But they don't! White Centers are sooooo overrated.

    Lakers might decide to make sure he will fail it, now that they see Ezeli is available

    You got the George Mikan Official Franz Lunch Box, Riverman? I didn't know you were THAT old. You probably stummed on a guitar that pre-dated Led Paul's "electric log" too!
