    Ayton beat Davis, while Nurk gets his ass kicked by Davis every time

    I liked Eubanks' energy last season, and loved when he said he likes being a guy other teams don't like having to play against because of that energy and hustle. Glad to have him back.

    Fine enough for me. The break-in-case-of-emergency center. I will admit I don't nearly feel as comfortable with Eubanks if Nurk goes down for a significant period, but frankly, I am not sure who else was on the market that I WOULD feel comfortable with should that scenario occur (knock on wood).

    Alright boys, I guess we're putting all our eggs in the "Sharpe is gonna be a superstar" basket.

    Interesting this came out with the Eubanks news. I guess Lopez spurned us for CLEVELAND?

    Whats funny is, Rubio left Cleveland on good terms and now he's going back. When our players leave, they never come back

    How close are we to the tax apron? Still think we’re gonna use Bledsoe in a trade or that Roco TPE.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but even if we partially guarantee Bledsoe's deal, in a trade the receiving team will still have to consider his full salary (~19.5 mil?) Do they actually pay him that number or is it just for the books?

    I'm not sure I understand. If we trade him before July 10th, they can cut him and only pay him whatever amount we were matching.

    Correct. The receiving team only pays the portion guaranteed though if they release him.

    So unless we incentivize the receiving teams to take on Bledsoe, he's not gonna get moved.
