I have us at $110 without Dante. I think people are forgetting Toupane, Cook and Jackson are on the roster. I've never thought Toupane would be on the opening day roster, but if they cut him Darius Miller is probably taking his salary slot.


I haven't been paying THAT close attention to the cap minutae and hadn't realized the situation was as dire as it is.

We can basically only make a trade to make any move worth much of anything.

Ouch. So we'd have to dump a decent amount to use the MLE

They're $8.9 million away from the tax right now. Who they trade for Lin will be important. Trade Asik and QPon for Lin and you get $2 million more in breathing room. Trade Ajinca and QPon for Lin and you're about $5.7 away from the tax meaning you probably have to choose between one of Miles or Cunningham if you aren't stretching Asik or willing to pay the tax this year.

ETA: That's probably part of why they wouldn't commit to Justin Holiday. They may be in a position where they have to choose between a wing and a big. If you don't bring back Cunningham and you trade Ajinca, the bigs on your roster are AD/DC/Asik/Diallo.

They can delay it another few days with the manipulation of the player physical. It would basically be them just being assholes.

I doubt we'll go into the tax...Kushner and Madison have both said that the only way the franchise will go into the tax THIS year is if we're a championship team which clearly we are not

i was so hard for swaggy at the trade deadline last year. If we got him here last year, we probably would have kept him here. D Cous would have threatened him and shite.

Hill can also play some 4, if they were to sign a wing.

Both Reed and Withey would be really good fits with the Clips as a fourth big

I'm fully convinced the team will make the playoffs, AD/DC will resign and Demps will keep his job for the next several years. And if you look at the net results that's probably ok, but if you look at the process and all the little mistakes where he boxed himself in, it doesn't give you a lot of confidence going forward that he's the guy to maximize this team.

How likely do you think it is that they actually trade for Lin?
