How the hell did we get any value for Hezonja? Holy hell. Great move. Welcome back, Enes.

 

[TheGoldRanger]

Yes!!!! Ive always loved Kanter!

 

[GDiama]

Well I guess we are good at C. This was our Trade Exception?
Now get Millsap with MLE

 

[Tince]

 

[BigGameDamian]

Good deal. We got rid of Mario!

 

[TheGoldRanger]

Love this trade! Now if only we can trade Simons for Seth Curry. Sign ET for the vet min and we have the WCF band back together.

[B-Roy]

Hell yes. Double whammy. We get Kanter back AND we get rid of Mario!

 

[James lamphear]

Good trade Neil now that will help our rebounding in the 2nd unit.

 

[DDolla]

Ok this is good as I don’t like Mario. Question is, who will wear the Jersey 00? Kanter or Melo?

 

[HailBlazers]

Waaaaaaaat. Didnt see that coming!

 

[BlazerBeav]

This is a good day!

 

[B-Roy]

So net salary is only +3 million since we also got off Mario's contract.

How does this work though? We probably need to take Kanter in the TPE but it can't be combined with other players. Mario must be going out in the draft pick deal, and the Kanter deal is a separate one where we are just taking him in the TPE.

 

[DDolla]

C’mon Neil... one more big move and move that Needle. Please!

 

[Natebishop3]

This works. I think Kanter fit well here, and he played really well with Dame on the PnR.

 

[Titan]

WooHoo!!!

My avatar is the biggest harbinger of guys leaving the team. Had Rolo, then Plumlee, then Stauskas, then Seth Curry, now Mario.

They last one year max after showing up on my avi.

Who should I pick next?

 

[TBpup]

Covington....that's one.
Kanter..........that's two.
......waiting for #3.

 

[TBpup]

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kanter is only 28

He played like the best backup big in Stotts’ system

Woj's tweet makes it seem as if Zach will NOT be ready by season start.

Also, I just realized we are actually under the cap. Woj says we are using the TPE, but with Mario's salary going out I think we are under the cap enough for Kanter's 5 million to slide into our cap space. Then we can preserve the TPE and the full MLE. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?

 

[Stevenson]

Enes just signed a contract last year. For 5 years? I love having him back!! And no more Mario? Wow.

CJ

And I bet you'll be right again, but with the wrong CJ.

Marks says we're 25 mil below the tax threshold so that puts us above the cap

No, he's just on a one year deal for 5 mil.

I'm just wondering why we had to use the TPE when Mario's out going salary is enough for us to absorb Kanter's salary using only capspace.

 

[e_blazer]

Great move. Bye-bye, Hassan.

Nevermind, I don't think we can use the full MLE if we operate as an under the cap team. That's why.

 

[illmatic99]

We should have asked a pick back.
