    They would be crazy to give up Bam, so that one I don't see, but yeah, something has to be in the works

    For trading TyTy and Usman??

    How about everyone let's the dust settle a bit. I mean, we are clearly trying to steer this in the right direction. You guys act like we traded Jabari, Sengun, or Green to clear cap space.

    They can use Lowry/Herro plus picks to do that. Portland may not want Herro but pretty sure they can route him elsewhere to get even more picks.

    Nurkic is only $17M, we had the space for that, no need to dump. Maybe it’s for Lowry…

    The rights to a 27 year old 2nd round pick in 2017 who's been playing in Europe? For that? Seriously?
    Where are the Tums.

    I'm sad we gave up on Garuba so fast. He was a pest in that Bari Tari squad.

    It hurts to see our guys go but we have to grow with the main guys. They need to step up their games.

    Not this year. It goes to the league now.

    In the event that a Team’s MTS Payment Team Salary for a
    Salary Cap Year is less than the applicable Minimum Team Salary
    for that Salary Cap Year, then:
    (i) The NBA shall cause such Team to make a payment to the
    NBA equal to the difference between the Team’s MTS
    Payment Team Salary and the Minimum Team Salary; and
    (ii) Subject to Section 2(c)(7) below, and notwithstanding
    anything to the contrary in Section 2(d) below, such Team
    shall be prohibited from receiving a share of any tax amount
    that the NBA elects to distribute to non-taxpaying Teams

    No state tax is nice, but crazy high property taxes and insane laws really sucks.

    What looks like could work is

    nurkic and dame to Miami
    Bam to Houston
    Lowry to Portland and obviously bunch of draft capital


    The space we freed up
    I think this would work

    Stupid trade.

    I actually like garuba and thought he has potential.

    We didn't even get to see enough of tyty.

    1str round picks getting thrown away for nothing.
