    We got Bosnian and Serbian, I guess it's time for Croatian. So I want Hezonja, but someone will pay him more.

    By Getting under the tax threshold now this enables the Blazers to go over for the next 2 if needed and then the big contracts of Harkless, Turner and Leonard come off which should enable the Blazers to get back under ofr a year or 2 to avoid the repeater issues. The team wasn't going to win a title this season anyway, but positioning for the retooling needed to begin, by trimming immediate salary and immediately getting under the tax. Savvy not sexy, but you can also call it a correction. Realistically Vonleh got set free and he was a DNP CD this season so the team didn't get worse. Next season at the Deadline Harkless and Leonard become short term contracts of manageable size for a team trying to shorten contracts.

    Isn't this how the president gets his wives? He is up to a Slovenian now, right. (Quickly googling Slovenian basketball players_ oh wait, it's Luka Doncic, make the Blazers great again)
