Actually, the earliest that it can happen is in the 25-26 season. If they are over the tax threshold in 22-23, 23-24 and 24-25, then repeater tax kicks in if they are also over the threshold in 25-26.

Trades Bledsoe, #36, #59 and the MIL 1st Round pick in 2025 to Detroit for Grant Takes Sharpe at #7 Keeps the TPE for use either this summer or later in the season (ie, before the February trade deadline)

If Ainge is really running the show, they just might. He seems to really value draft picks and cap relief, which is what this deal gives them.

Or it's a 4 team deal. Utah sends Gobert to Atlanta Atlanta sends Collins to Utah and Capella to Toronto Toronto sends Anunoby to Portland Portland sends #7 to Utah Other (smaller salary) players and picks would probably be included, but that's the basic framework.

Memphis lost to Houston a few nights ago. That type of embarrassment can do wonders to a team's motivation....

Does he promise to stop intentionally lying to me (and I'm sure to others) in emails? Does he promise to stop making up "facts" in order to construct a better argument? Does he promise to admit when he makes mistakes, like when he wrote that the Blazers could trade Raef LaFrentz anytime they...

I've honestly never seen fanspo before today. Lots of analysis of the Blazers' cap situation, but it's rendered nearly useless because of one small thing - they don't have BMac and his $1.67 million cap hit on the roster. As someone who used to run a player salary site, I can say that's...

I was in favor of giving Billups a chance to be the head coach of the Blazers. I haven't changed my mind about that.

Trader Joe is absolutely the perfect nickname.

Something tells me that Joe would be willing to resurrect the RC2 tradition of "Meet and Greet with the GM" that died when Olshey took office.

I'm willing to give him a bit longer to prove himself, but am really disappointed in his play these first two games.

Sums it up nicely.... I look forward to seeing what Mario can do as he continues to acclimate with the others on the 2nd squad.

I'd still rather see the Blazers with another starting PF option and let Collins be the backup at both the 4 and 5.

Thanks for this, Sly. I'm going to see if I can make it.

Great time! It was good to see a few familiar faces and be introduced to a few new ones. As I was leaving last night, someone asked me to please write out the story behind "Show Me Your Blazers".....here it is..... Back in the early 90's, the voice of the Chargers, Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton...
