    I assume the Euro players are both shooters since that is what we are loading up on right now?

    Don't have access to my computer at the moment but from what I remember, when I went through the numbers a few weeks ago, this is not enough to offer Dwight the max.

    I believe we are short about $1.5m. We have to move White. But don't worry if we can't move him, because we can waive and stretch to get within a few hundred thousand of the max.

    Look for announcements from Dallas of trades to clear cap room for Dwight (Marion). If not, you can probably rule Dallas out of the running.

    Will post the exact cap room needed when I can access my office computer later today.

    Todorovic is a nice prospect too.
    He had one very impressive game during Euroleague's Final Four where he outplayed much more experienced bigs.
    A bit small for a center (~6'10) but quick, long, smart, rebounds, defends, sets picks, draws fouls.

    He won't be a star but he could be a nice bench player in a few years.

    Todorovic has a bit of range but no. He's inconsistent, he needs to work on it.

    Possibly bad move if we don't get Howard.

    How is that holding a grudge? He might just be close to Thomas Robinson
