    The only reason the Warriors won the series is because Meyers was injured

    yup, and they are going to have to live with that asterisk next to their win column forever.

    Here is what i got on the books at this point. Again you let Kaman go. Extra 5 mil. then Henderson will not command 6 mil because i think he will be gone.. Replace those roster spots with draft picks of which they will have to buy or trade for one? Money goes down as much as 9 mil. Tim Frazier is gone and they do not owe Miller 2 million. Verejao has 10 mil on our books that will fall off also. They will be sitting at close to 50 mil then sign Meyers, Harkless, and Crabbe. What happens is anybodies guess on Meyers. I just don't see either Harkless or Crabbe getting more than a 3 year deal over 18 mil or 6 mil a year. Most are saying 8 million a year for a 7 footer that shoots the 3 ball? Together that is 20 million leaves em somewhere in the 30 range with some MLE's

    These are round numbers off my head. But with trades and other moves the Blazers sit with pretty good money.

    Fraizer got waived half a season ago, we owe him nothing as is...neither do we owe Miller anything....I don't think Meyers is coming back, I smell a sign a trade

    hmm.....you could be right based on previous years, or you could be way off based on projections based on the new salary cap. Who is getting that extra TV money? The stars? or the mid level guys? We will find out in two months. My guess however is that Crabbe gets way more than 6 million per.

    Crabbe gets 9 to 10 MIL imo. Harkless though is a guy who I think only gets 7 Max and a lot of people are saying more than that for him. Time will tell I guess....

    In a way I almost wish Crabbe stayed cold in the playoffs. I think the last couple of games may have gotten him a raise. Just from a standpoint of having to match....

    Agreed. Although it was also nice to see him step up.

    I read that excerpt to mean that if we play a new rim protector type guy, Plums would be on the bench. We wouldn't have him in there to get the benefit of his ball handling and passing skills.

    $2M Verejao stretch provision. I think Hendo's cap hold is $11M+...

    It looks like the NBA average salary is $5.739M for cap calculation purposes. If Hendo truly made $6M, his cap hold is $9M after all. If he made less than $5.739M, his cap hold is close to the $11M+ number.

    I think @Darkwebs should make a game 6 game thread.

    Just finished watching the game, fucking curry man.
    But what a great game, what a way to end the season. To just think that we gave a hard time to the defending champs in the 2nd round is crazy !
    now 2 things:
    1) Draymond seriously can't to anything to get ejected... The guy was screaming, punching the air, waving his arm... He even hit the refs and didn't even fucking apologized after, what the fuck ??
    2) YOU GOTTA MAKE YOUR FREETHROWS

    So... Is it the preseason already ? I'm hyped.

    By the way, in the serie, the Warriors had the lead for 94 minutes and 55 seconds.
    The Blazers ? 138 minutes and 15 seconds.

    That's pretty cool

    That's an awesome factoid, it kinda shows our weakness though, finishing. But we will improve as guys mature on the court more and we add another guy who can get buckets.

    It seemed to me that we did lead more than them. Thanks for dropping the raw facts.
