maybe they got a 2nd round pick out of the deal (to add to their massive collection) as well as some financial savings. And they aren't too worried about making the playoffs
I always liked him..... for our bench. I think we could use him against someone like AD. But I would not want to give up too much. I would send Hood's ending contract for him as we could use his size.
I hope that Neil does something. Hood and a 2nd for Ariza would've been helpful for us. I think our defense would be competent with Nurk back and being able to help Enes or Carmelo (hopefully only one at a time) by playing them with Ariza and Covington.
That deal wouldn’t have worked financially. We also have to think about not dipping into the tax. It’s clear they won’t be in there this season. So the money has to almost be equal, or more going out than coming in.
Meyers is done... How can you screw things up, staying at home and doing nothing collecting 10M a year? Maybe now he can be a professional video game player.
Can someone clear this one up; could Portland theoretically/realistically afford to give John Collins the max in the summer if they were to acquire him at the deadline? im asking because a rondo/Collins for hood/Trent/pick trade looks pretty enticing, and I don’t even wanna trade Trent!
im not worried about being over the cap, pretty sure we will be in the tax again next season either way. I’m more thinking about the hard cap or whatever.
...he's not staying! They are either going to cut or repackage him in another trade. He going going gone!
"Once the trade is completed, there’s no expectation that Leonard would be a part of the Thunder moving forward." We should take him back here and use his size. I loved this guy and he was good with Dame. Plumlee, I mean.
Hard caps exist in-season when you acquired a player through a sign-and-trade the previous off-season. The hard cap expires the following off-season, so it shouldn't impact RFAs, so far as I'm aware.
