Of course he doesn’t. Our big move was Seth Curry, who by the way will bounce next summer. Olsheys next move will be handing Aminu to someone in February to get under the tax.
“But at the same time we’re not going to underreact, and we’ll regroup here and spend the next couple of weeks looking to upgrade the rotation, but as you know Brook, it takes two. We also have the trade deadline in February and Nurkic and you know and you know and you know and you kn
It will take more than that. we are $11,769,290 over the tax threshold and Aminu only makes $6,957,105. The only players on our roster who will make more than $11,769,290 in 2018-19 are Dame, C.J. and Turner. If only it was as easy as "handing" Turner to someone... BNM
Yeah we are not getting below the tax this year. Harkless would be tough to trade without taking close to equivalent of his salary and there’s no combination of Aminu + someone that would get you to $11.8million AND be easy to trade. We are paying the tax this year anyway.
There's also the issue of most teams used up their cap space this summer. Other than trade exceptions I think Sacramento is the only team that can take on a contract of any significance.
No, I've been a Blazer fan for over four decades and can't recall a single time I've ever considered MIN a rival. Even the one time we met them in the playoffs, they were a first round speed bump on our way to taking the Lakers to seven games in the Western Conference Finals. We have an all time record of 81-33, a .711 wining percentage, against MIN. That is our highest winning percentage against any Western Conference team. MIN is POR's bitch. To be a rival, you need to be relevant. BNM
that got me curious...I'm now a big fan of this website. http://www.landofbasketball.com/head_to_head/trail_blazers_rivals.htm and this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_all-time_NBA_win-loss_records Check out where Minnesota falls in both total wins and %.
Yep, SAC is the only team currently under the salary cap. They are $11,024,575 under the cap. While it may be possible to come up with some combination of players/salaries that would work under the CBA and get us under the tax threshold, I'm not seeing any obvious combinations that would work. Maybe something involving a 3rd or 4th team, but even then, we'd need to give up something of significant value to convince someone to take on the last two years of Evan Turner's or Meyer's Leonard's contract BNM
Come one dude, we beat Rondo and Holiday a thousand times before. Make no mistake - Anthony Davis was the difference maker in that series.
Lets run a pick and roll every time down the court against the best pick and roll big in the game today. What could go wrong? Stotts was ass at coaching in that series.
