    It's not that I care what they pay him. I do care who they have to lose for nothing to pay him that.

    Havent read the whole thread so I'm not sure if its been mentioned.

    If the Warriors lose Festus they are going to have a massive hole at the 5 spot. Might not hurt them that much since they will play small ball more often than not, but after losing Bogut, losing Festus could be a big deal.

    we can go over the cap to sign them back luxury tax is at 108? I think so I think we can do it especially with the extra 9 mill from G leaving I dont see why we gotta renounce them

    Meyers would be betting on himself again. Take less now to make more next summer as a free agent (and we would hold his rights). But yes we would have 11 to 12 MIL in cap room if he goes the QO way.

    We have about 9 MIL right now to spend (up to 10 if we cut some low guys according to reports). We can't go over the cap to sign Ezeli. So if he only takes 9 or 10 MIL then we are fine. If he requires 16 MIL or so then we have to renounce one of either Mo or Leonard to make room and bring him on.

    Anybody else think it's odd that the Blazers didn't send anyone to the airport to meet him?

    I thought you could only go over the cap for the last contract....sign two and still be under, then sign the third and go over

    They already cut him loose. He was RFA and they waived their rights so he is UFA now. They have 0 cap space with Durant signing. They are trying to get Dewayne Dedmon to take the vet min of just over 1 MIL to sign for them for their rim protector.

    Maybe the $$ opens up if Crabbe signs with Brooklyn?

    Not much. His cap hold is the lowest out of our 3 RFA's. Only 2.7 MIL. Which is why I think he is a lock to come back to POR on a matched contract provided someone doesn't throw him 18 MIL plus a year.

    Leonard and Mo have cap holds in the 7.5 to 7.7 MIL area I believe.

    The fact that they are bringing him in signals the exit of Crabbe or Harkless. Just my thought, time will either prove it right or wrong.

    Also means Turner will get heavy minutes next year. He's more productive when getting minutes, definitely hasn't seemed suited to play a 6th man type role. He could have a career year next season.
