    yeah, guessing thunder figured it was enough to make them squirm, but i actually think they're going to s&t watson to the clips and promote jones anyway.

    Exactly. But he goes to Philly to be a 4th option.

    to get jones, we'd have had to choose him over mamu. if you believe svtzr, that was a no-brainer. the other issue was timing as we could secure mamu's services without waiting out RFA. so i get why we didn't go that way.

    we could have also tried to clear extra space to make a similar offer, but doing so would have required assets, and if denver matched, we'd be out those assets with no target.

    it was a clever bit of business by okc do clear just enough under the 2nd apron to offer tpmle, but i can't imagine denver lets him walk at that price.

    Fine, twist my arm and Denver can send us Cam Johnson for Vando, Dalton, and a 2nd to save some money.

    If they don't match on Jones and they stretch Vando and Nnaji after that trade, it could open up about 25 million for Watson.
