    We're not extending the QO, so we definitely don't plan to sign him to more than that number and probably don't plan on having him back at all... maybe for the vet min but I doubt it.

    Sorry just don't trust olshey to not be a fucking idiot. Hard to break so I think of any scenario where he can try to fuck us over even if it isn't plausible.

    Why do I have a feeling we're going to dance around Philly for a month and then settle on a CJ/Tobias swap?

    tobias harris instead of cj mccollum sounds intriguing... it would balance the starting five and wed get much bigger body

    i think i like that deal

    Harris for CJ would be a big disappointment

    looking at the free agent class, I'd think he would be the best Portland can do for the tax-MLE

    check your sarcasm meter

    This dude doesn't seem to be very plugged in. Not many breaking stories by him or tweets.

    Kawhi will likely stay a clipper, just a new deal. Portland has zero to no chance for him imho.

    Right

    Teams can start negotiating with players then. They can actually sign players starting Friday

    The Lakers are targeting them, not necessarily the other way around
