    Do we even have the cap space to do this?

    If Bima is saying it's possible, I am going to say yes.

    I think we would have to go into the luxury which doesn’t make sense for two players that won’t see any playing time.

    Stone got fleeced, raped and hogtied in this deal...and he did it willingly. Now get TyTy back and then we can talk maybe about the off-season being in A territory.

    Did you get a chance to check out some of the current talent Stone drafted in yesterday's summer league game? Who gets credit for drafting Amen, Jabari & Eason?

    There’s more to being a good GM than the draft

    Do we sign them using money from our now vacant MLE?

    Oh, so you only give Stone credit for meaningless trades?

    Why would we do that for two fringe players that we had on rookie deals before giving them away to Atlanta for nothing? Now that we have Brooks and Holiday they would see no playing time?

    Why does it feel like OKC has infinite cap but we (despite having no big contracts going in) have to dump a third of the roster to sign three guys. I’m still just so baffled by this trade.

    NGL I forgot about Holiday.

    I'm just trying to make sense out of our overpay to OKC earlier.

    The only unproven is tyty
    The other guys are proven hot trash that we literally had to pay to unload
    Cfans is hilarious with its idiocy

    He is coming out of the oven either 5 dimensional or 1 dimensional.
