    Interesting..

    28 mins ago – via DailyThunder.com
    Q: Can the Thunder extend George’s contract? A: Technically, yes. In reality, no. The Thunder doesn’t have the cap space necessary to renegotiate and extend George’s deal. That would require nearly $10 million in cap space to bring his salary to his max. Don’t expect Oklahoma City to gut pieces of the team just to do this. It wants to build a team with depth. Without that option, George would have to opt into his 2018-19 year in order to extend his contract. That calls for him to earn $20.7 million, which is way below his market value. A hypothetical extension would be based off that amount, not automatically ratcheted up to his max salary.

    Well lets see how good Magic and Luke and Rob really are at the recruiting game and closing the deal. This would be a big one. I hope they meet with him over at the new facility and show him how he can be chillin' in the cryo chambers and it's all bright and shiny and new over there. :Magic Brows:

    They should and the only team in the East that likely advances is the Cavaliers.

    East is the JV team going forward. Sucks how hard that makes it to win in the west.

    Trying not to get too excited about the Hill rumors. It would be a difficult pill to swallow to have to settle for Rondo after being linked to George Hill

    Long shot but if bos needs to free up $ to sign a max guy, would anyone be oppose to offering those 2nd picks for Bradley? Similair stature to Hill, expires, younger and cheaper for this upcoming yr. Then shoot rest of cap to another 3/d seing man, or worse case give it to young lol

    Massive cut for Durant. Good for him putting his money where his mouth is.

    That's quite the paycut, you don't see many players doing that nowadays.

    If only Kobe took paycuts when he was playing for us in his later years....we could have fielded a competitive team around him
