    5% for someone else's free agent, 8% for your own free agent.

    Damn Spotrac is fast AF.

    It actually makes a pretty big difference because the rookie scale for a 2nd rounder is around $1 million. Since we have about $5 million under the apron right now, that leaves us just enough to use most of the BAE for a backup center and sign Jabari Walker to a standard 3 year deal.

    About 5 mil space for Walker and any other FA we want to bring in using the minimum or the BAE (4.1 mil)

    We'd also still have up to that $5 million amount in the RoCo TPE if we wanted to go that route and save the BAE for another season, correct?

    I still look at that roster and believe that it would be ideal if some greater consolidation could occur.

    Unfortunately the hard cap kills that dream. If we try to make a consolidation move, we won't be able to sign players to fill the spots.

    we have the TPE but can't exceed 157 mil in total salary. So in theory, a Thybulle for 2nd rounder would still work, but we'd then be left with no backups for Nurk.

    Just a question.

    With no signed contract, yet, COULD this become a S&T with Nurkic?

    Sending him out? Technically, yes. But it's not going to happen.

    Definitely an overpay.

    4/60 max

    He can’t stay healthy and has only averaged 30 mpg ONCE in his career.

    Hopefully this is a contract full of incentives.

    I actually like Mitchell Robinson at 4/60 better lol, but it is what it is. This is our reality. I think there's a pretty good chance he's moved in the first few years on this deal.

    Reading this message board, I can safely say no one is happier about this than I am. So I'm gonna resist all my urges to be rude and just say GLAD MY FUCKING CENTER IS BACK

    We basically made lopsided trades not in our favor for Jermi Grant and the ability to resign our own guys.

    I don’t really see how we got any better and I had decent hopes that we would be creative.

    I don’t see this roster as being anything more than a play-in team. Another year of Lillard’s prime wasted.

    Looks about the same as last year's team on paper, but at least there is upside now (mostly Ant and Nas).

    The only way I seeing us better than a play-in team is if Nas out and becomes a legit option and stays healthy.

    If Ant is better than CJ on offense we're already at a better state.

    $30 million less than Simons? Yikes. I think Nurkic has given the Blazers more than Simons has.
