    Yes, we'd still get hard capped but that would become a possibility. Although we'd have to assume the team would be willing to pay the tax because they might not want to in that scenario.

    Yeah that probably a closer comparison in terms of being relentless on the boards like Ed is. I don't want to lose Ed but if his asking price becomes crazy, we would be ok.

    Vonleh continued to be a top rebounder with another team. Not just in the Stotts system.

    Phoenix must be making a splash for a starting point guard. Either Kemba Walker via trade or some young gun in free agency. Can see them offering a cracking deal to someone like Fred VanVleet.

    So, Dwight Howard and Trevor Ariza are both keen to join the Warriors for a year.

    All indications on twitter are that PG agrees to a deal with OKC tonight.

    Oh. I thought you said that Olshey agrees to a deal. I should have known. Sorry.

    I am ashamed for imagining that Olshey would ever make a trade. I beg for everyone to forgive me. I will try to control my wild imagination, and promise that it won't happen again.
