    Kanter is only 28 :blink:

    He played like the best backup big in Stotts’ system

    Woj's tweet makes it seem as if Zach will NOT be ready by season start.

    Also, I just realized we are actually under the cap. Woj says we are using the TPE, but with Mario's salary going out I think we are under the cap enough for Kanter's 5 million to slide into our cap space. Then we can preserve the TPE and the full MLE. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?

    And I bet you'll be right again, but with the wrong CJ.

    Marks says we're 25 mil below the tax threshold so that puts us above the cap

    I'm just wondering why we had to use the TPE when Mario's out going salary is enough for us to absorb Kanter's salary using only capspace.

    Nevermind, I don't think we can use the full MLE if we operate as an under the cap team. That's why.

    We should have asked a pick back.

    It sounds like we chose dumping Mario over the 30th pick. Since the pick Boston used to unload Kanter was sent to Memphis.

    Net cost savings ~3 million with Mario's salary + rookie deal.

    This move has already given wood to several posters, I think.
