WTF Neil, you sly dog!

How did this shit go on during the press conference?

But okc will match. Right?

But okc will match. Right?

Probably, but we have 3 days to wait & see.

[BrianFromWA]

well, we still have 15M to throw at someone else (ahem Tristan Thompson and the 60M or so it might cost CLE)

 

[B-Roy]

OHH FUCK YEA

 

[e_blazer]

But okc will match. Right?

With lux tax, it will cost th about $40 M to match. Should be interesting.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

But okc will match. Right?

Dear God I hope so.

 

[santeesioux]

But what about our lack of a Turkish community?!?

 

[HailBlazers]

Not a fan of Kanter, but he is BPA.

I'd love it if we were the reason Durant left.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Olshey can certainly keep secrets. Well, I guess it's easier now that his other underlings have seen what happens to people with loose lips.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Worst case scenario....... we hurt a rival by making them pay more then they wanted. Which affects them down the road for other player.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Kinda hoping OKC matches but at any rate this guy is a good chip down the line if we do get him.

 

[illmatic99]

Would be hilarious if we forced everyone's hands and got them deep into luxury tax territory.

Any word on the numbers?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I actually wouldn't have a problem with any of those guys. Not sure I would want all 3 but any 2 out of 3 would be fine to pursue if OKC wants to throw us a future 2nd.

 

[BrianFromWA]

hard for me to root for this, because Rice will draw an FCC fine every time he utters "post-up Enes"

 

[santeesioux]

Portland media is on top of things like always.

 

[e_blazer]

So maybe that's the play. Do we like those pieces?

 

[Schilly]

So they need to trade PJIII for nothing in return... who has cap space?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

So maybe that's the play. Do we like those pieces?

I do. I would think we like at least one. Maybe that is the plan, get them to match then say hey, we will take those other guys provided you throw us picks!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

So they need to trade PJIII for nothing in return... who has cap space?

Us, DEN and PHI I believe.

 

[illmatic99]

It's funny, after the PC, my first thought was to exhale because we might be done for now.

 

[Natebishop3]

Neil will be following what happens from a beach in Tahiti

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Would rather pursue KJ McDaniels....
