    I really hope this is true. The more teams that waste precious cap space on average players means the more players that will be stuck without good offers.

    Unfortunately this sounds like an agent trying to bump up his client's value though.

    maybe

    I mean, after 20 years and 3 different CBA's...and after several off-seasons when lots of teams had lots of cap-space resulting in lots and lots of godawful stupid contracts you'd think front offices would have learned their lessons and would practice restraint. But maybe they haven't and after the initial dust settles, the ocean of cap-space will dry up and will leave only a little space league-wide with quite a few decent free agents scrambling thirstily for a shrinking pool of money while smart teams shop in the bargain bin. (I'm kind of proud of the number of metaphors I crammed into one sentence)

    the key is not to be in the mad rush at the front of the line throwing out elbows and waving wads of cash. Stand back and stroll thru the doors after the blood has been spilled....I'm on a metaphor roll...or are they analogies?

    Every year theres like a dozen guys who are “good” players but get contracts like they’re great players and every year I think why are teams so desperate for the NBA’s 50-80th best players...

    Because they have no cap space and likely have nothing Philly wants in return. Portland has a better chance at landing Butler. Their only path is to find someone to take Capela to help them out (maybe the @#$#$ Wizards will help them).

    Personally, I hope they get Butler and lose Capela. I'm sure Butler and Beard can find a way to cover the center position as well and share the ball nicely--while the entire league is driving past them down the lane.

    Well, for portland to have a better chance would mean that butler wants to come here over houston. So thats not the case

    I don't disagree, but my point was that Portland would be much more attractive from Philly's point of view.

    According to people who know much more than you or I, it is very possible. Likely, even.

    Portland has zero chance of getting Butler. Butler would never agree to a S&T here

    The blazers are the most tight lipped organization in the NBA (along with the Spurs). No way anyone knows what is going on
