    Does this make it more likely Powell comes back?

    I'm trying to be optimistic. We all know what a showman Neil is. Maybe he wants to announce the trading of CJ and signing of Powell at the same time? Or maybe that's the holdup; Powell won't sign until there is a deal for CJ to go?

    I thought this very same thing... not the showman part but Powell telling Neil to pull the trigger on a CJ trade before he'll sign on the line. It would be really cool if there was one tweet from Woj announcing us getting Simmons or Siakam and re-signing Norm.

    Ignorant question incoming:

    There is so much talk about different exceptions, and how they can cause a team to be hard capped. And I don't have a good handle on how much the Blazers can spend, if anything, without using that tool. So what I want to know is could Zeller be signed without hard capping the team?

    Can someone explain how the Heat can overpays Robinson, Lowry, Butler and maybe Bam and we can’t even sign a top FA

    So essentially we traded Zach for Zeller. Did we save any money?

    Yeah, he's either a vet min or more likely we used the taxpayer MLE... neither of those would hard cap us.

    First thing Fischer got incorrect. I'm listening to him right now and even he is surprised.

    Why do we need to save money? Need to spend now as Dame is not getting any younger.
