    Funny thing is, Powell has only 9 points but has already shot and made more FTs than Gary.

    If I have to "accidently" run over someone for the Blazers to win a championship I totally would.

    But Powell is a flight risk we can’t match.

    I don't know if he will but I assume that is the plan.

    Is Trent a RFA after the trade still? Or does the “restricted” piece go away after the deal? Can’t keep up with these little changes between the major sports? Doesn’t really matter for us at this point, but just curious.

    https://www.raptorshq.com/2021/3/26...aptors-salary-cap-sheet-update-future-options

    Trent Jr. will be a restricted free agent and the Raptors will have his full Bird Rights, allowing them to exceed the cap if need be to re-sign him up to his maximum salary. They may be trying to use cap space — if so, Trent Jr. is great for that, as although they can re-sign him to any amount due to his Bird Rights, his cap hold is very low ($2.1 million) because he is coming off a minimum salary contract. That means the Raptors can potentially use their cap space with only that small hold on the books, then re-sign him to go above the cap.

    https://raptorsrapture.com/2021/04/10/toronto-raptors-new-gary-trent-jr-contract-look-like/

    Powell is starting to morph into one of the game’s best scorers, but he will almost assuredly opt out of his player option in pursuit of a bigger deal elsewhere. Trent is a restricted free agent, but he will assuredly get a noteworthy bag this offseason.

    https://www.nba.com/news/free-agency-explained#restricted

    Restricted free agency exists in the following situations:
    Following the fourth year of rookie “scale” contracts for former first-round Draft picks.
