Fischer even got the number on this.

New Shams/Woj?

I forget where did Fischer say that Norm was going. if i remember i thought it was other then the blazers

 

[illmatic99]

Is it. The new NBA after Colvid.

it's Covid. Why do you keep saying Colvid?

he said detroit having $ was a concern for Blazers brass, but they just spent all their cash on Olynyk.

sorry man, no L in Covid

 

[B-Roy]

I like TJ, but that is a lot for a backup point.

 

[Chris Craig]

Neil waiting till everyone else blows their loads so he can sign Powell for cheaper?

Not really. It's only $8.yr

pelling not my forte

He is a great backup pg though, if the pacers can stay healthy they'd be very strong

if so, allows more to strengthen bench.

Seems like a risky move.

Or maybe Norm isn't as interested in returning as some people thought?

Could be.

This delay in Powell announcement makes sense if the meeting is still yet to happen and Neil is actually on that flight I posted about earlier. It's scheduled to arrive around 5pm.

And Norm on IG indicated that he has some FA meeting this evening.

does it…? Doesn’t change the tools we have to sign players does it?

 

[Mr. Robot]

might not be Olshey that is dragging feet

he surely isnt, powell is his priority

its powell waiting to land other offers and see whats best for him

At 5? He's on a flight? He better get to work dammit

 

[illmatic99]

it doesn't. the only benefit with getting powell for cheaper is a smaller tax burden, and a potentially easier contract to trade away.

Bobby Marks reporting cap at 112 Mil, Tax 136 Mil. Lakers over by 8 mil. on 3 players.

OMFG 22.5 a year for THAT?

jesus, costanza

If we're not blowing other offers he has away and if we're not going long term, he could do a one and one with a team that will use him more. If he believes he can get bigger money by not having to share the ball with Dame and CJ.

 

[Chris Craig]

What if it crashes?

Then the Sixers are very happy

 

[wizenheimer]

I sure would have thought that Olshey and Powell's agent have talked dollars and years at this point

 

[calvin natt]

Can’t wait till the Blazers get a screaming deal on Powell for like $23m a year.

 

[B-Roy]

My tax-MLE target gone for the tax-MLE. SADGE

 

[tester551]

[Natebishop3]

Neil sure is blowing Dame's socks off right now.

18M/year....?
