    Yeah Miami only offers were made when Jacques was ineligible to be traded. They just wanted to steal Dame from us, and attempted to leverage Dames legacy so we'd "do right by Dame" and accept their shit platter.

    Funny how some people are trying to spin this to be a mistake now.

    Don't hear them mention how the centerpiece young player that was offered Jovic hasn't even performed at a G league level. 3 games and shot 36% scoring a season total of 14 points.

    Cronin clearly made the right decision.

    I guess I have to be careful saying anything like that? I've been told that is telling people what to do and i'm out of line for doing so?

    I don't think they are criticizing Joe as much as pointing out how wrong some fans were about Jaquez Jr. (and they were wrong)
    I am personally happy with the Dame trade, but those trashing Jamie this summer clearly never watched him play.

    not sure it will matter

    Portland now has:

    TPE - 8.78M (Lillard)
    TPE - 8.3M (Payton)
    TPE - 1.5M (Hart)
    DPE - 5.78M (Williams)

    MLE - 12.4M (max)
    BAE - 4.5M (max)

    But the Blazers only have 3.5M in margin below the luxury tax threshold. And nothing I've seen from the Vulcans over the last 3 years makes me think Portland would end up paying tax for the current team

    seems a waste, but my hunch is that all of those exceptions will end up expiring....unless one can be folded into a much larger trade around the deadline

    Are TPEs and DPE, etc, on finite time? Because honestly it'd be good for 2 years from now... But I'm guessing they don't last that long, especially DPEs

    Your probably right they won't be used.

    However yes we'll have to see at the deadline, would make sense to use the $3.5 mil or whatever of tax space we have to at least get a 2nd or something.

    The Lillard exception is probably the "exception" to your list since it doesn't expire until well after the draft and July 2024 free agency. It's much more possible we could use it if we have additional luxury tax space or such next year. Should also have an MLE that can then be used as a trade exception at that time.

    TPE are 1 year.

    I think DPE is only for the remainder of the season (June) right?

    I was actually in board with trading either Dame or #3 for him...
