    what money to they have after resigning Butler? Not enough for another max contract, that's for sure.

    Even if they don't resign Butler I don't think they have enough money for a KD type Max deal.

    I think I read they still have room for a max contract next year. That's why he's on the odds sheet if I'm not mistaken.

    maybe that was in place of signing Butler...?

    I'm too lazy to do the math, but I still think given KD's Max and what that would be per year they still don't have enough for KD. But its close if I'm looking at this correctly.

    You have to figure too, that Butler is going to decline his option and resign at a bigger number than $19 million per year.

    read somewhere that Embiid contract has special bonus incentive that would increase his current cap hit if he makes one of the all-nba team and Butler cap hold is actually $30mill not $19 anymore

    1A to my Klay 1B....Talent wise KD by a pretty good margin but to much baggage with him IMO, at his age its still odd that he pays attention and has twitter battles with random trolls

    Some of the quotes in here....my goodness, DAMN! Haha Draymond going for KD's throat (rhetorically speaking) with some of the language used.

    LeBron and KD would be unfair. I'm all for it. I don't care how we win titles. I just want more. 2010 was an eternity ago.

    Unfortuantely, by next season I think Philly will be better. But C Bags vs Lakers for two season in a row where we win both and overtake them in rings would be like watching a sunset on Wakiki Beach with Kate Beckinsale and Gal Gadot in bikinis while drinking a Mai Tai and playing fetch with a bengal tiger who is fiercely loyal to you due to your overpowering musk.

    I feel it necessary to mention that Savs and I just got through a cage match and dude caught a couple upside the head with a chair.

    Btw, I see what you did there with BangGal, tiger. But it's no Wonder why you think you have a chance... like I said, you took one too many to the head buddy.
