    If they set it up with max raises, that's a cap hit of $2,870,813 for this year. Taking us to $16,809,493 left in cap space (including Nic's 5.388M hold)

    3 million/year seems like a good deal. On the other hand we've gone waaaaay over our limit on whiteys.

    Seems like it would have to be Freeland and not Claver like I originally thought because Claver is still on his rookie contract

    I'm not sure I am ready to consider Great Britain as a true Euro basketball factory, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt until I see him flounder

    That's another thing, didn't we fill our decadal quota for white Joel's? You can't have two.

    If you consider Claver "white" (not sure if we do), and they sign him and resign Joel, the team would be 1/3 white. (Joel, Joel, Claver, Babbitt and Leonard)

    They'd be the Boston Celtics of the 80's, minus the nice talent at the top.

    Pryz is a FA. Has there been any talk of him re-signing?

    I haven't heard anything in the media about it? One of us here needs to find out the exact salary figure we need to be at this year

    what do you mean? The minimum is 49.337M. Roy by himself is being paid $16,460,538, so we're well on our way.

    Good news. I've been excited to see how Freeland does over here. Good signing.

    I think Joel is a nice cheap pick up. Ideally he and Meyers would have been the back ups this year at the C/PF spots. As of right now one needs to start. But it's still early.

    Have you seen Claver? ... If he's not a whitey then we've set the cutoff at luminous.
