    Yeah, like I said, trying to do what I hope we're trying to do; any move that hard caps us is fucking stupid.

    I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet but:

    Blake Griffin

    I'd un-ironically like Griffin for the TPMLE. As a smallball center and someone who could play a bit of 4. Plus he's got playmaking abilities. Defensively.....we'll work on it.

    Did you just list Duncan Robinson, Cam Payne, and Reggie Jackson as minimum guys? They all will get the full MLE at the very least (unless Reggie Jackson takes a hometown discount to the Clips). The other ones are debatable, but I wouldn't be surprised to see at least Batum, Griffin, Brown, and Rivers go for portions of the MLE.

    they had minimum contracts last year. read my post once more to see what i'm trying to say.

    that we can find guys who can contribute who will get the minimum-- not that they will necessarily be the ones i listed from last season

    How the fuck is Fischer getting these numbers??

    I'm so curious to see how many of these he gets right. Also, it seems based on the numbers that the market for Powell is probably at or below the 20M line. Barton 16M? Schroeder 18M? Fournier 18M? I'd rather have Powell than all those guys.

    I think Powell will come back on a 3-4 year deal starting around $18 mill and ending at $23-25 mill his last year.

    A deal starting at 18M will turn into roughly 4/80. We can only offer 8% raises.

    It's amazing they were able to negotiate a contract, print it out, read and approve it, and sign it all within ONE MINUTE!!

    You just don't see efficiency like that very often.

    wow if jarrett allen gets this money, then nurk will surely get the same, but on 4 years

    hes not worth this money now, neither i see that big of potential in him... athletic center, great rim protector, no skills offensively... i guess they see lesser version of rudy gobert in him

    It's weird, I've seen a lot of women (specifically women) on twitter actively campaigning for Melo to return to the Blazers.

    im literally shaking at the idea of carmelo playing for the blazers next season

    and people like her dont think about whats best for the team, they think about other things, like carmelo retiring a blazer, hiring becky (cause shes a woman and blazers would write a history etc)

    didn't lala divorce melo this summer because he got caught cheating yet again? This time, getting another lady pregnant and flaking on medical bills apparently.

    doesn't pass the threshold for outrage obviously.

    Knew about the former, not the latter. You got a link?

    Should tweet the link to Dia. I bet she won't read it. Or she'll proclaim his innocence until proven guilty.

    Lowry and DeRozan in Mia will be nice for them if these rumors are true.
