    $40M in cap space.

    $10M gets you Luol Deng as your SF.

    That leaves $30M, or almost 2 MAX contracts in cap space.

    He could sign one MAX contract guy and get 3 MLE sized contract guys. You'd have a bench.

    The only thing is if we were really tanking we would've just kept RHJ but instead we cleared more cap space.

    It's tough to not have any idea where we are headed right now. I'm lost and depressed with regards to my team. I hope it all works out, I do think Neil is bright and so far has worked well with the cards he's been dealt. Hopefully, he will prove he is an awesome GM

    Which means what? If Neil can land someone LA buys into, who knows, you might be able to retain him.

    Quick Neil, get on the phone to Upshaw or Alexander and get them on the Summer League roster.

    I see Tobias Harris at around 4/48
    Love full max
    Beverly at 3/21

    Dame / Beverly
    Henderson / CJ
    Harris / Crabbe / Connaughton
    Love / Vonleh
    Plumlee / Leonard / Kaman

    Fill the rest with vet min

    This is the 2nd time in 2 days that he has made a deal where the Blazers give up the best player. How often does that work? He's just not very competent.

    No, I like Leonard more but it makes more sense to play Plumlee with Love because of the rim protection.
