    We either have about $5 million left and the room exception, or $9 million with no room exception. It depends how you want to look at it. It was by design to have flexibility if we want to throw a $9 mil offer to 1 more player, or split that to 2 offers for $4.5 mil. Why I say this is because they have the choice to either use cap space to sign McGee using cap space or by the room exception (which is about $4 mil anyway).

    Danny green ($15 mil) + KCP ($8 mil) + McGee ($4 mil) = $27 mil.

    Again, that could mean we have our choice of either $5 mil plus room exception left, or $9 mil total for a “big offer” to someone.

    I will be very annoyed if we throw $9 mil at Rondo lol. I don’t hate the idea of him coming back, considering the lack of options left for point guard. Would just like cheaper terms with him.

    Rob has his work cut out for him. Gotta assume we are on the phone with Marcus Morris right now.

    I'd try to get Cousins as well now - we need talent.

    check morris's defensive stats....yikes.

    yes. me too.

    boogie, bradley, quinn cook are all guys i want to fill out the roster. not possible to get both boogie and bradley, though.

    make sure the clips can't get either at the room exception, though.

    We need to get Avery bradley, we have been wasting money on KCP for 3 years but we need Klutch,so that's the tax we gotta pay, Just give Bradley a 3 year 27M contract

    That bad defensively?

    Why can't they get both Boogie and Bradley? Too much money?

    What are you thoughts on what happened tonight with respect to George, Kawhi, Clippers?

    Whoever we sign next, guaranteed we won’t be offering any contracts longer than 2 year.

    It’s not a accident Green/McGee/KcP are 2 year contracts.

    Lebron has an opt out in 2 years.

    We will potentially have a ton of cap space again in summer 2021 to go big fish hunting again. This time the price is Giannis. He will be a unrestricted free agent.

    I thought the market for Boogie had flatlined?

    Maintaining flexibility is smart but I hope we’re not banking on Giannis (although I know we probably are).

    Morris is one of the best guys still available.

    Can’t be picky at this point.

    That’s a good point. I think both LA teams will be out of the running for Westbrook because they have nothing left to offer lol.

    Miami can still offer Dragic/Ryan Anderson. Both are expiring contracts so Westbrook becomes a salary dump. Miami would have to likely surrender multiple 1st rounders too... like 2023, 2025, 2027 1st.

    Too bad the knicks blew their cap space on Julius Randle plus other role players. They could have spent that absorbing Westbrook in exchange for picks too.

    Knicks keep on screwing up, Bill Simmons said their cap space was their main asset but they panicked and over compensated

    Just woke up and holy crap! Kawhi is a piece of s***.

    Maybe he was trying to hurt the Lakers by delaying.

    I hope he and Paul George experience nothing but failure from now on.

    I hope Anthony Davis posterizes Leonard for losing his trade kicker to try to help the Lakers sign that fool.

    What a deceitful snake.

    Cousins is a must sign right now. Let him and Kuz take over the second unit.

    I would’ve signed Bradley over KCP. But since we signed KCP and Green, I do not see him as an option for us. I really hope Cousins doesn’t go to the Clippers.

    I’d take Cousins and bring back Lance. I have 0 confidence in Dudley/Kuz being our backup 3’s.
