I want to know what the compensation is. He's got 10 mil due next season. Dead weight salary right there.
According to Basketball Insiders, the next 2 years are both Team Options and next season may only be partially guaranteed.
Partial guarantee of $10 million on $10.5 million salary.... so ~95% guaranteed. Its only next season though.
and as discussed yesterday we can use the 3 yr stretch provision so it's only 3.25 mil per if we want to
Stretch doesn't reduce the cap hit only spreads it out over many years. I'd rather take the whole hit next year. We can always trade him to an under the cap team if we have to and there will be ~20 of them. Awaiting the picks but sounds like a good deal. Guessing we cut Cliff Alexander... unless Montero has unimpressed the coaches.
Exactly. The Blazers have so few picks as it is. Neil keeps trading them away for nothing. T-Rob, Afflalo....etc.
