Every day that goes by without the Blazers dumping salary makes me more anxious for them. There's a limited number of teams that would be taking a salary dump right now and lots of bad contracts to move around league wide.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

If you want peak MCW all you have to do is put him on a blatantly tanking squad with no NBA players and let him fill out a stat sheet with empty numbers. I just can't believe someone did some video game bullshit like that in real life and it worked, praise be Hinkie

To me it mattered because the point was the Celtics were waiting to see if Hayward was going to sign before coughing up a bunch of picks + players for George, and they didn't see why Indiana would want to move so quickly on a deal of "Sabonis + Oladipo" when they stood to gain more if they waited a couple days, or at the very least, would still have the same offer of Sabonis + Dipo. They probably thought Pritchard was bullshitting because it was a stupid deal for them to do in such a rush. That was stupid of the Celtics and it cost them dearly but there's a clear difference between that and refusing to give an offer for no reason

That's the difference between believing a trade with OKC was impending or not

Or maybe Pritchard thought Ainge was an entitled prick who got shown favoritism ever since their playing days, and really didn't want to play his game. Just spitballin' here.

18% of Utah's cap is tied up in Joe Ingles... yikes but if the shooting improvement is real I guess it works

what can trigger another cap increase?

Sure, seems like a weird thing to think about and a stupid reason to hamstring your franchise though

Increased ratings in the playoffs I believe. Decreased viewership is why it went down 3 million
