    Excellent. Out of all the options we had for a backup center, Kanter for the TPE was at the top of my list.

    That's not how it works. TPE can't be combined with other players or salaries.

    This deal is two deals:

    Basically the Mario/30th pick deal is one deal, and only legal because Memphis is also part of the deal absorbing Mario's contract.

    Kanter for TPE is a separate deal. We have 2 million of the TPE left, but it can't be combined with other deals.

    I'll miss having defense at center but we definitely got the better player in the deal.

    Kanter!

    One of my favorite short lived Blazers. So happy to have him back for the long term. Remember how much he beasted during the playoffs a couple years back? He loved the culture here and is a great guy.

    Only minor gripe was his play suffers immensely during Ramadan.

    We got him for fricking Mario? Awesome!

    I'm fairly sure that's not how it works.
    We now should now have 2 - $2M TPEs.

    Correct. They consumed $5M of the $7M TPE. They now have $2M left over to use in future trades.

    They also created a second $2M TPE with Mario leaving.

    The best part about this is we would get destroyed on the glass last year when we went to our second unit. This should end that issue and help our rebounding a ton. Plus he played well with our guards. The biggest thing is he seems to want to be in Portland, with his post about going home.

    Yeah, there is 2 million left of the 7 million TPE. The Mario deal is separate. His salary doesn’t decrease how much of the TPE we need to use to absorb Kanter.

    By my count we're still at 9 roster spots guaranteed and still have:
    - MLE, $9,258,000
    - BAE, $3,623,000
    - Early Bird rights to Hood
    - Full Bird rights to Whiteside
    - Vet minimums
    - A couple small TPE exceptions

    This should be a fun evening/weekend!

    Fitting Kanter into our TPE was what many were hoping for. Ridding ourselves of Mario in the same process
    feels a little bit like Wizardry.
