Blazers interested in Spencer Hawes

[GriLtCheeZ]

Don't forget that Hawes is currently a $9.9M cap hold for Cleveland. If the Cavs want to use their cap space on some FA, they'll have to renounce Hawes, meaning they won't be able to S&T him to anybody for more than the MLE, because they'll no longer have the exception necessary to do so.

Excellent info, thank you

They could s&t, but it would probably have to be a three way deal where they take on little salary and before their big free agent signing goes into effect. If they use cap space, they would also have the cap MLE instead of the bigger MLE.

Good clarification. The point is, any S&T deal would have to be consummated before they use their cap space, and would not benefit them if it prevented them from doing so.

Ugh . . . sounding more and more like getting Hawes is a real long shot. The hope is all teams burn salary cap and Hawes options is limited to teams with MLEs, which is pretty unlikely.

Neil will look like a dumbass if hawes signs elsewhere and Frye is no longer an option.

Frye is in the price range of our mle and would love to be back. He should have at least called him
