    True.

    I didn’t research. I just responded as soon as I read the headline thinking that those must have been expiring’s

    this wasnt move to get under the tax, its part of the bigger picture (they needed to lose a couple of millions to get under the tax, if not less)

    powell was a bad fit and thank god hes gone, we all knew roco will be gone too, so no surprise there

    it looks to me like theyre creating cap space to re-sign nurk & ant and they will roll with ant & little as starters going forward and now they will hunt for power forward, so we basically have four starters settled (cj mccollum will be gone too)

    If we want to trade him at the draft, he will only count for the guaranteed amount of next year's salary.

    I will give this trade until Thursday afternoon to see if it can possibly make any sense at that point but there is going to have to be some other big time wheeling and dealing to make this look even a little bit sensible.

    Could also be they are clearing the books to get ready for a sale of the franchise.

    On pretty much every trade I can justify in my mind why a team would consider doing the trade.

    On this one I have no justification whatsoever.

    The fact that you're actually trying to justify the most garbage trade I've ever seen makes you have no credibility with any of your takes going forward... not that you had much to lose.

    Is it possible for them to cancel this trade once they see everyone laughing at us

    It's completely "sensible" if the rumor about Cronin basically viewing Dame-CJ-Ant-Nurkic as the core of the team is true

    How do you not even manage to get a pick, man?! I'm incredulous that this is the best we could do.

    Cap expert my ass, fucking idiot.
