    Then set a new precedent; I am tired of these spoiled multi-millionaires doing whatever they want; and if I was GM that's what I'd do. We'll see if Presti has the stones.

    The Blazers could use Schroder. They could use Adams as well for that matter.

    Cuz he doesn't fit their rebuilding situation and it's be great to save $60 million. And they don't really want to help the Lakers.

    No need for Adams, we don’t need three highly paid centers on one team.

    But giving up 70 million? Would you do that?

    What the hell are you on about? The blocker on a buyout would be Paul. Presti would obviously be okay if Paul was willing to give up 50% of his guaranteed cash. Not gonna happen. Paul is gonna stay in OKC till he gets traded.

    Can't afford him but that doesn't mean they couldn't use him.

    I'd rather use him as he is - fucking up OKC.

    You could've said the same about Westbrook.

    I'm saying Presti would have to be firm sticking with his buyout %.

    No one with 140M guaranteed is getting bought out. It's a moot point.

    Personally I would. But if I am Presti I don't really care what Paul would or not do.
