    It's not the money, it's the repeat offender luxury tax penalties that are the killer.

    OK who are you going to trade -- CJ ? Dame ? Turner ? (not possible ) -- S&T Hark but for what cause now with Ezeli unless its for a true PF like a Milsap / Monroe Makes ZERO sense and BTW still would not clear time for Crabbe-- Those are about the only options so who ???????

    Can people please use that thing in between your ears before you post dumb shit.

    I still say match. Play him for a year, trade him if we need to because of CJ's next contract and the LT.

    He is our 6th man, a 2-way player.

    He'll get over getting matched.

    His contract will be movable.

    We can match and sign our other RFAs. Their cap holds are ~$14M combined. Our salaries go up by any amounts over that. I don't believe we'd be over the LT threshold even signing both to ~$15M deals. Or maybe a tad over.

    I just can't let a young asset walk away for nothing. As has been previously stated, everyone thought that Kanter deal was a noose around the neck for OKC. Now? Not so much.

    The Kings are the suckers to load that contract onto when the time is right. Trust me on this

    Kanter is a big man and they make more if they have any talent yet makes only a little over 17 Mil a year. With trade kicker Crabbe would make over 20 mil per. Teams are all spending a lot of money. And most will be near luxury tax level. I don't see that an easy contract to move unless he becomes 6th man of the year.

    He's not worth anywhere near that and it'd be madness to keep him at this price so he's as good as gone, wondering though whether we may match just to trade him in a couple of weeks.

    Match. Great signing Ezeli today. Lock up Mo and Meyers too. We've got a team that can compete. We're much deeper than the Warriors.

    My thinking too. Match, unless he's going to be disgruntled.

    Fuck. If he's disgruntled with that contract, he's a terrible human being.

    OMG -- Do you people NOT get it -- CJ and Mason are up next year you have to plan in advance -- not just blow everything this year -- JUST CAUSE you can. Let me repeat thank goodness none of you work for the Blazers and influence the decisions that go on there. I will concede one fact this is where Turners deal kind of sucks because while i like Turner i believe he could have been gotten for a little cheaper like 4 for 60 to 65.

    Cross that bridge when we get there. In the mean time, our team is better.

    Its lip service. I don't buy that at all. Not his personality.

    He'll get over not starting and who knows? Maybe he can start at SF. And people may get hurt and that can open up opportunities.

    OKC was lucky the new TV deal came along this year. The cap isn't going to have this huge of a raise in it again in the next few years.
