    Notice how Cronin has mentioned Chaunceys way of playing when announcing both signings. Don’t remember that happening with Olshey and Stotts

    Stop what?

    You'll see after tomorrow's introductory press conference where they will try to convince everyone GP2 is a forward.

    I kind of lost interest in the Blazers around the time I did a 40-year analysis of the Blazers vs the Refs, and found we were consistently 1-2FTs lower than our opponents for every season, and the only time we were 1FT above our opponents, we went on a 13-game winning streak that ended when Detroit's head coach complained about the refs, and then we were right back to 1-2FTs under.

    We are the whipping boys.

    just out of curiosity, did the signing of GP2 actually put them in the hard cap situation?

    I can't find any confirmation of that being the case, and in fact, what I have read showed that the team is still under the hard cap amount.

    The fact that they're hard-capped kind of necessitates this, no?

    I think once we realize that the league will never let us win a title, everything will be okay :sigh:

    The Blazers are hard capped. That they have a couple million under the hard cap as opposed to $0 under the hard cap doesn't change that.

    interesting. Spotrac also has the last year as a player option.

    Also don't know where Spotrac got the number, but it appears Sharpe's deal is also juuuust below the max allowed amount.

    this gives us almost exactly the same amount of room under the apron as the RoCo TPE (highlighted), before signing Walker. This is if we stretch the Bledsoe deal. Does anyone know how much of Bledsoe's deal can get offset if he signs elsewhere? @hoopsjock ?

    I'd like to claim I know, but it's too early in the day for me to figure all this out:

    So the set-off amounts cannot be deducted until the end of the season, so it won't impact our numbers in the immediate. Would impact our tax implications at the end, but nothing to do with our current targets.

    You have to figure that the absolute most that Bledsoe would get would be the Taxpayer MLE. So, $6.5M - $1.8M Vets Min)/2 = $2.35M max savings?
