    Warriors have Cauley-Stein / Looney
    Celtics have Kanter / Thies / Poirier
    Dallas has Powell / Kleber (Kleber could be the 4 I guess)
    Spurs have Aldridge / Poeltl (Gay and Bertans play a ton of PF)
    Clippers will have Harrell / Zubac (assuming they retain him)

    Honestly, Portland looks like the best role for him off the bat.

    Well, whether or not we moved Whiteside is probably dependent upon what Whiteside wants. I don't think Whiteside will be thrilled to be a backup behind Nurk, so you gotta communicate with Whiteside too.

    And Portland has Whiteside/Collins and eventually Nurkic. That’s deeper than any of those teams.

    Saw today that with Canada's taxes, he can actually make 11M more with LA. I'm no capologist, anybody know if this is true?

    He means Kawhi Leonard is Linda Ronstadt.
    She was a well-known pre-madonna.

    Collins is a PF. I was only talking about Cs.

    Key Phrase - "Evantually Nurkic".

    Dwight isnt in a position to pick and choose all that much either.

    I think I heard there is some tax thing about being a Canadian citizen for over 180 days up there that lessens the burden?

    You think Broussard, whos a Laker mouthoiece, is reporting honestly or knows Canadian taxes?

    California is very highly taxed, and he'd make more money due to 8% raises in Canada, so I'm pretty sure thats false.

    Collins is a center that may play PF.

    Didn't really think much about the credibility of the tweet, been working all day. Just sharing something I thought I read earlier.

    I read that too, Im sure he’s got real accountants who are crunching the numbers. Having lived in Canada for a while the taxes are pretty crazy, but from all I know their pretty crazy in Cali too.

    I go to SoCal for work once in a while, besides the weather, I pretty much hate being down there, but never lived there so the high taxes dont really effect me.

    Usually overseas work permit taxes are brutal for the first 6 months and then come down to earth after that. I believe you need to live there over half the year to qualify
