We didn't sign any of them when they were available so no, there's not really any left.
They can stay under the tax if they only sign minimums from here on out.
I'm not optimistic either, I'm just trying to force myself to be dispassionate.
Higher acquisition cost.
It’s pretty clear yes
It's not over yet. Shumpert is the piece to watch still.
1) New jerseys=more sales=profit 2) Luxury tax avoidance=money saved=profit Two stars.
Still watching...
That's not fair though because Adams plays in a system where might have gotten benched if he got too many of Westbrook's rebounds.
We were stupid to even consider the possibility that Tilman would take on those salaries. "Deep into the tax" "Bust the budget" Yeah right.
Same thing kept being said last offseason.
They should be doing both. If they couldn't expand this to get a better player because of availability or cost (which is totally believable)...
There is no good reason not to have taken back more salary other than being cheap. At a bare minimum they should have eaten the contract of 2Pat...
I'd rather let Harden finish it out here personally. Call me sentimental but I enjoy legends aging and retiring with your team.
Yeah my initial read was they would be better because I still like Bazemore, but honestly they lost a fair amount of talent.
And we'll have even fewer picks when we trade more future picks to move Westbrook to avoid the repeater tax in a few years.
Would be thrilled if he gave us IT production.
Man you know Butler is crazy to step to Nene like that. He's lucky he doesn't have a phallus shaped scar on his face.

For historical context, they have been pretty negative on the Blazers consistently. They projected them under .500 last year.
