    How so?

    Not saying it’s a bad sign but he’s fairly active on social media. Hoping he says something positive about the Blazers - he’s just starting to respond.

    looks like Enes is going to be working on his 3-point shooting this summer.

    Great post....I just want to thank Enes first of all for giving up his free off season to run free hoops camps for kids around the country...I think that's as unselfish and grateful as a person could be! Please sign a friendly deal for a year until we can sign you to a better deal the following year! Oregon welcomes you and your family! Also will the new mayor of Istanbul have an impact on your dad's freedom and your problem with the Turkish govt?

    Most pics he’s posting up ‘til now has him as a Blazer. I absolutely believe he loves it here.

    That being sent, my head will explode if he signs for the TPE at $5.7mil per season (plus annual increases).

    Maybe he accept the MLE, and Neil tells him he gives him a higher contract in 2020. Olshey gave him that 70/4 contract in 2015.

    is it really illegal?

    I mean, the GM and the agent are talking about the tax-MLE. The GM says he'll give the player a two year deal with a player option for the 2nd year. Then suggests that if the player opts-out, he might be able to get a max early-bird offer for the next season; 150% of the previous salary.

    if you think that kind of stuff doesn't happen all the time, it seems naive. That's like going 3MPH over the speed limit
