We don`t need to max out Lauri for next year. The key is to be able to give him a salary that allows him to get the 30% max on the extension years. The $12-$15 million he will get extra next year is free money that he won`t get if he sees out his current contract.

Yes we can. As it stands now, we are at $96,6 million in salary for next season. The cap is projected to be at $142 million, but could also rise to $150 million if the cap rises 10%. To get Lauri to his 30% max for 2025-2026 and future years, we will have to bump his salary for next season with...

Anunoby signed his current contract on December 21st 2020. This is over three years ago and means that he can be renegotiated and extend. OG makes $18,642 million this year. With the 140% rule, the most Toronto can offer him on an extension is a deal starting at $26,1 million. If this was...

The money had to be enough that his and Markkanen`s contract could get close enough to Mitchell`s contract to make the trade legal. It had to be minimum three years, but not all years had to be guaranteed. We only guaranteed one year when we tried to put one over on the sixers when we made...

The good thing that after the Pelicans game, we will have played 13 home and 19 away games. The Pelicans game is looking really important as we have to ratch up wins before the first round trip in January. We play the Celtics, 76ers and Bucks before having a six game home stretch. This is...

They shot 45,7% from three while we shot 37,2% and they are complaining? Lol.

Which would probably be 20-23 today, although I am too lazy to do the math right now.

I think that break will disappear when they make the schedule for the teams that are knocked out of the tournament.

A few trade ideas to clear out some of our vets, make room for the kids and tank for real: With the Bulls: Sexton for Lonzo Ball. Lonzo will not play this season and might never play again. We can take on his salary for next year when we don`t have to worry about either paying or playing...

I am pretty sure you know this, but extending him for that much is not possible. His max starting salary on an extension is just over $15 million next year. We have to wait until the off season when his contract has expired and use our cap space to give him more.

We also need to keep around $12 million in space to be able to renegotiate and extend Lauri next off season. With the ten players we have under contract, we are at just under $100 million with $142 being the official estimation for cap number next season. If we extend THT for his max, we will...

I would love for Ainge to have a chat with James Harden. Is he willing to play ball until the trade deadline? If he is, he would bring out the best in this team with his passing. We can trade him again to a contender in a few months when Keyonte hopefully is ready to take over. Sexton + THT...

I think it is 140% with the new CBA.

A lot of our players will have somtehing to prove and play for this year. Then we have Clarkson who can just ball our and enjoyr himself and the rookies who needs to prove that they belong. Being deep is an important factor in the regular season. As long as our main guys stay healthy, I think...

Hah, good point! Don`t see us trading for him to just put him in the stands! ;)

Sexton and Olynyk would be the natural filler salary going out in a potential Lilard trade. Hendricks + 3 first roundt picks of Portland`s choosing would in my opinion be the least Portland would expect. We would ahve to send a million or two extra in salaries to get to the $36 million we need...

So, is the Collins-trade official yet? I am hearing some talk about us being involved in a 3 way deal with Atlanta and Toronto. The talk is that Siakam would go to Atlanta and that Collins will be used as salary filler going to us.

What is with this MVP-obsession? Embiid is a great player, but there are quite a few players I'd rather trade for than him.

There only certainties now is that we have both all the assets required and all the time we need to make a major trade. If we do nothing for six months, we are very well set for the trade deadline, next off season or even the deadline after that. We don't have to win now and blowing a lot of...

One think that would be a high risk and potentially high reward move, is to use some of our picks to acquire picks from teams that have no insentive to tank. If we got the Brooklyn picks from Houston, would they be willing to trade Bridges to us? It does not make any sende now, but if we could...
