    Hard cap will be around $143M and you're forgetting $2.8M in dead money from Nicholson.

    Honestly, I wouldn't mind letting Powell walk to make it work and using the MLE on Batum and the BAE on Thies. Then try to get a cheap big for a pick to stay below the hard cap (ex. a first for Brandon Clarke)

    Lillard (36) / Simons (12)
    Kawhi (36) / Simons (12)
    Little (24) / Batum (24)
    Covington (30) / Clarke (18)
    Nurkic (30) / Thies (18)

    I like it.

    Pool guys probably live in a small guest house off picture.

    Today's Twittersphere/Punditverse has Celtic fans losing their minds because it's rumored Boston is considering moving Jaylen Brown.

    BJ, so you really think we have a shot at Kawai? Is because of Chancey or Lillard or both? It cant because of how quite a place Portland is so he can be non conspicuous.
    Quite people generally like to be in larger crowds so they can be insulated, coming to Portland would be like joining the Beavercreek Community Church where everyone has to hug and be helpful.

    Deep is the lesson and hopefully narrow is the way.

    CJ plus stuff for Brown would be pretty amazing.

    I mean, it's an extreme longshot but you gotta try. Hopefully he really likes playing under Billups and would love to pair up with Dame in a smaller city.

    Neil has to try for a superstar, no matter how unlikely.

    Zach signing the QO opens many more doors as a nice trade piece as an expiring contract.
