    And his play style doesn't mesh well with Westbrook at all lol.

    Because as you mentioned, he can't shoot.

    So what is he really doing next to Westbrook?

    Presti may be good at drafting but he seems clueless about actually building a team.

    No. You take the zero cap affect of a melo buyout over trading for 28 million. Now you have Anderson's 20 million you can move to bolster the roster without hitting the hard cap. Shroeder trash af too btw.

    Maybe they are banking on him being found guilty and then they can get his contract off their cap completely for conduct detrimental to the league.
    Either Presti is a sneaky genius or he got even his pants stolen in this one.

    Any way we can figure out a rhyno for schroder deal. Rhyno is not much more and a year less and shhroder would be the perfect 3rd gaurd for out team!
