    Might as well get under the luxury tax now. Not looking good for easy Ed. Gah, it's like the Saturday night massacre out here.

    The way I see it now is we took a chance on him last year hoping he would make a big leap but he didn't, so we end up being $3M behind for the next 7 years instead which is not really that much but still counts against the cap and might bite us on the arse at some point (though cap will likely hit $150M by the end of that period so it will be just 2%). I wish we got Dinwiddie or Kilpatrick back though.

    That's assuming no one else gets traded.

    So much for the contract being unmovable.

    But now the guys that were saying we're gonna need to throw at least 2 first round pick to get rid of the contract are like, "We didn't get anything in return !!? WTF N.O. !?!"
    Oh, this is great entertainment

    part of me wishes it was ET, but all of me wishes it was Meyers.

    as just about everyone has said, assuming this is part of something larger, but i REALLY hope it doesn't involve shitty incoming players.

    I think the contracts are movable. I've said so all along. Even Meyers Leonard's.

    I also predicted NO would get under the LT this season.

    So much for all the fear of being "capped out!" NO even got us a trade exception.

    Doesn't the luxury tax bill come at the end of the season? So as long as we're below that threshold come July 1, 2018, we should be OK. I'm sure we can find a take for Ed/Rouq/Noah by then.

    If the LT is $122m, we have enough space to use $12M of that TPE.

    EDIT: or $12M to use for Nurk's expected payday.

    Thats irrelevant to the fact that no one got wind of this move as a rumor.

    So, we gotta get a shooter or two now or we gonna give Pat/Layman their shots? I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to that. Still hoping we can use that TPE and get someone not named Ryan Anderson.

    Sorry but the more I think about it the more I think this is to make room for Anderson among other things. Anderson is to get Gordon.

    Well given the situation we were in, seems like a successful move. AC was clearly never going to be a bigtime player, and with us so far over the cap before having to throw big money at Nurkic, this appears prudent.

    Watch we will. We are going to trade our exception to Houston for Gordon straight up. Then facilitate a trade for Carmelo to Houston sending out Harkless, Meyers, and Pat to recieve Anderson.
