Yeah, me too. That was like 7.6 million per year for 5 to 7 years, I think. But, that was a much higher percentage of what the cap was back then, so it really hurt.

 

I'm against any waive and stretch. Unless it's for a reaaaally good deal for a 3rd starter after you get the other 2, which I don't think we'll be able to do in a single offseason.
You do the waive and stretch when you're one move away from your peak contending squad and have the core guys locked multiple year so you can do that math.

We're not there yet, this will be year 1 of building around Luka and it's unprecedented you do all of it in one year. So I rather keep Vando, he still brings skills we can use and is an expiring the year after. Hopefully we are able to trade him without spending additional assets
