    You might as well have said "Unfortunately Portland is out of the running."

    Did the muscles absorb the tattoo on his left arm?

    Nobody can really just absorb his salary, but there are surely ways to send them back little enough that the return receipts would be basically negligible.

    Wow--didn't realize that Indiana has three separate players with $10M deals that are only partially-guaranteed for 2018-19.
    • Bogdan Bogdanovich--10.5M (1.5M guaranteed)
    • Darren Collison--10M (2M guaranteed)
    • Al Jefferson--10M (4M guaranteed)
    If any team's primed to make or facilitate a big-money deal this month, it's them.

    The player contracts count only as much as their guaranteed if they guaranteement date is before July 1st.

    I believe that's only applicable to contracts signed after the adoption of the 2017 CBA, that contracts signed under the 2011 CBA still include the non-guaranteed amount.

    Yeah, and at least Collison and Bogdanovic were signed after.

    Gotcha--didn't realize they had only been on 2 year deals.

    Well then, I guess Al Jeff is the only worthwhile non-guar.

    He’s going to LA.

    Ball+Ingram+Hart for Kawhi. Then PG and LeBron will follow.

    San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard has Los Angeles — preferably the Lakers — at the center of his preferences for a trade destination, league **** tell ESPN.

    I love free enterprise!
    If you've put in enough work you can accomplish anything and create your own pathway.
    The only thing the league can do to keep players from exercising their rights and building Super teams is probably a hard cap on teams, which Im not in favor.

    No--allegedly Pop is unwilling to deal in-conference.

    Boston's more likely, IMO.

    I've slipped so far down the slippery slope of Olshey repulsion that I can't even imagine imagining him pulling something like this off. Zero chance...although we'll hear at some point he "threw his hat in the ring."
