    That's great, now CJ just needs to figure out some way to get him under our salary cap!

    Millsap would be good next year but after that his contract is just going to look worse and worse until we are paying him 30+ million at the age of 36.

    Too bad CJ went to school for journalism instead of finance.

    How does that constitute recruiting?
    He could have easily thought that opting out was a dumb move & 'shocking' at his age.

    He definitely didn't think it's shocking. Should be easy for him to find more than 21M and for more than one year. He is an All Star player. Opting out now was the best choice he could make. CJ should be smart enough to know this.

    I interpreted McCollum's emoticon as "Well, this is getting interesting..."

    CJ is bright....he's networking and not missing an opportunity to make connections throughout the league...he's interviewed some big time NBA names already. It's one of the things I love about the kid...he sees the big picture. Between him and Dame, they have put the current Blazers on the map again.

    Pip was 12 years into his career when he joined. Paul is at 11.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Was your "eight years ago" a direct reference to Pritchard's "toxic offer" to Millsap? I assume so. It really is a shame that Utah matched, though a lot of this community was very negative on the offer, as I recall.

    What stuns me is that Festus Ezeli made about $7 million this year and didn't play a single minute.
