    Center is probably the worst positions to be weak defensively right?

    So we finally go after a Euro center and you hate the idea. You have to admit that is pretty funny.

    It's $ that a team that trades for him needs to pay the player, in addition to actual salary.

    I believe we gave Hibbert one a few years back. Because of it, his contract was harder to trade, and now, the Lakers who are getting him need to pay him more cash like a bonus. It does not affect cap numbers, I believe, it just goes into the player's pockets.

    Opens the door to trade one of our bigs IF we get a nice offer, Plumlee would be a possibility, he's on a great contract for a team needing a C

    Then you expect the defensive minded PF to switch onto the opposition's best post player.

    Kanter is 3 months younger than Leonard.

    Definitely - especially defensively

    Keep him away from the perimeter on defense. He can't cover ground for shit.

    I can get behind this if we also start Meyers. We will be damn good offensively (remember all you gotta do is outscore your opponent) and then we can go total change of pace with Davis and Plumlee.

    That seems like a lot now, but like has been said, isn't so bad later on. With that cap going up and Kanter plus Dame at big dollars, what would their cap space be next years? Now it looks like OKC offered something close so maybe this just adds cap space tightness on them.

    “Some” of the fans on a Thunder board are happy with Portland’s max offer, and hope Presti matches.

    Reason, if the Thunder offered Enes a max offer, he would receive 7.5% raises. The Portland offer can only be for 4.5% raises.

    IF? The Thunder planned to match Enes max offer, Olshey just saved them a few $$$.

    I think this is a win-win. I actually would rather they match but if they don't we get a very nice piece. However, if they do match I think we get PJ Perry Jones (at least) and they send us a 2nd rounder to boot.
