he was on my draft wish list once.

Are you talking about Paul George? What makes you think his ego would allow him to settle for MLE? Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying?
I really don't want him at all.

I think you and I were both banging the drum for him that draft. I def remember your supporting that idea.

In the final Bucks game we played eight heavy minutes: Ty, Nembhard, Nesmith, McConnell, Sheppard, Toppin, Siakam, Turner. iJax got a few minutes, Maturin and Walker make 11 next year. the other four are Doug (gone), JJ (up to him), Brown (I still like his speed), and Stix (a money question).
The two ways are OT, Q, and Wong. Do any get elevated?

Another possibility is that in the front office view his ship has sailed and they’re giving I Jax the backup due to him being back next season. Inquiring minds wanna know

I'll bet against the front office or next year having anything to do with the coach's decision. I think it was just a decision to go small as the Bucks didn't have a big center other than Lopez.

Oh yeah,... Have liked his game since his draft. Plays as a legit big, shoots the 3 well, defends & rebounds really well. Plays really well in transition when given the chance. In terms of skills & style,... he would seem to be a great sorta all around fit behind Myles, Pascal, & Ob1.
What do you think it would take to get him?.... Maybe a sign & trade with Stix?.... o0

Trying to figure out where is 64.9M number comes from?....
Granted,... Philly is not likely to clear their books. According to Spotrac,.. Philly only has 4 players currently under contract, Embiid = 51,415,938; Reed = non-guaranteed 7,723,000; Dowtin = team option 2,196,970; and Council = non-guaranteed 1,891,857. Everyone else is outside contract in some form, on the books as a cap hold.
If they were to release all their cap holds (which they are not going to do. They still want at least Maxey,.. and likely Melton & Lowry); Waive their non-guaranteed contracts (Again, they aren't actually likely to do.); and decline their option on Dowtin; and trade their first round pick; release all their trade exceptions - which would likely happen anyway as they would be under the cap & choosing to operate under the cap, they would end up with Embiid, and 11 x 'incomplete roster charges'? Which to me looks like 11 x 1,160,544 = 12,765,984 + Embiid = 64,181,922 ?.... which would leave them projected theoretical cap space of 76,818,078 ?....
Which checks against Spotrac's max theoretical cap space of 72,785,838. The only difference being the first round pick that Spotrac will continue to show until it is actually traded?......
Am I missing something,... again,... as usual?.... o0

Bobby lists it in the tweet. $55m ish is if they keep Embiid, Maxey’s cap hold, Paul Reed, their 1st, and the minimum roster charges. $64.9m is if they waive Paul and trade the 1st, as they’d then add 2 more minimum roster charges to the cap.
