    Would you throw either of the Morris twins (Wiz/Suns) onto that list?

    Why would a team pass on creating exceptions even if they are small?

    Not much salary savings for them; I think they need a player also.

    Only justification would be to retain the ability to use the larger one for another deal in the next couple days.

    We would have had to use the larger one in the deal then

    I want Sun's Bridges! I know ppl are now into the "win now" difference maker BUT Bridges is learning fast & he WILL be enough as soon as next yr./the next to be the guy we need AND keep CJ!:breakdance: For the regular season (based on matchups) we start Cj (mostly) & then have Bridges/Hood @ sf/backup sg. Playoffs, we start Bridges/Hood @ sg & sf & then bring Cj off the bench:wink: trade phx.jpg

    To be able to pull in a larger salary player (i.e. - Saric). Two smaller trade exceptions don't work in that situation.

    But if MN wanted some real savings; how about we take the horrible Dieng contract; Turner for Saric and Dieng?

    I understand that. Just thought you could carry more than one TPE at a time. The larger one is expiring while you would have the smaller ones for another year. Is that not right?

    We would be so good... I can't even fathom a starting lineup with Dame, CJ, Nurk, AND Blake Griffin without the expectations exceeding every other team not in Oakland. It's dizzying.

    Maybe but still a lot money on one player and you then in couple year pay Dame whole bunch of money. You looking approx of 70 million on 2 players. Especially when we don't even know if there going to sale or keep this team. I dont even think Olshey even trying to get Davis he might kick the tires but he might have a short leash on how much he can spend over the cap. But Mirotic he that different story. You can resign for a lot cheaper and he fits the team also. But it not my money and if they got Davis yea that would change our win total but I don't think it puts by Golden state. Look what has the pelicans have done since they had Davis not really much thay got in the 2nd round last year and that about it. I think Lakers are crazy about giving up 6 players and draft picks for him. These are good young players too. That trade right there wouldn't put them pass Golden State. Especially Davis gets hurt a lot too and LeBron getting older. Don't believe giving up majority of my key pieces to get one player. Sooner or later LeBron going to retire and a lot super star don't want to play along side of LeBron.

    You can have more than one for sure, but we either match hoods salary with players, or match with our TPE. So hopefully means we have something going with it

    According to Adam Bjaranson, most clips did not include the entire Dame conversation. Apparently he said that Dame all but guaranteed another Blazer trade. I did not hear this but someone else said they saw it.

    Might be reason that Olshey got open roster spot.

    Combining the news about keeping the larger Vonleh Trade Exception, with this:
    Possible targets making between $1.5M and $3.5M include:

    Pistons - Bullock?
    Magic - None
    Clippers - None
    pelicans - Miller?
    Wizards - Satoransky?
    Suns - Oubre?
    Kings - Jackson, Skal?

    Not very inspiring list there....

    A couple other possible targets: Portis (Chicago), Saric (Wolves)

    Taking in a player with nobody else going out would be pretty odd. We already added one player in hood to the rotation, without removing anyone. Adding a 2nd would push 2 current rotation players out. Could create some discomfort I the locker room. Especially if the upgrade isminor
