Hey Kelphus! Good to see you. Pulled over here from the general thread. Just a theory but a reasonable one:
There was surely some nodding and winking going on somewhere--maybe even just from Kawhi:
There was no $64M/4 year deal out there like the Clips threw at Marcus Morris, so Kawhi rings up and says, hey bro, come run one with me and PG. Weather's great, private jet, nice facility. Richest owner in sports, treats us like kings. Beats the hell out of the Raptors decamping to Tampa because of the COVID, living like refugees in hotel rooms and borrowed high-school practice gyms.
If we win, I'll hold a gun to his head and make sure Ballmer gives you the big dough to get me to re-sign. And if it all goes to hell, we're all out of here in June. Sound like a plan?

Hey, lets get another ex-Raptor PG, Lin, he's kinda old and banged up, but for the vet min you cant be too picky
The 32-year-old California native signed with the Ducks in August 2019. He averaged 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.8 steals across 39 regular-season appearances. He shot 49.1 percent from the field, including 33.8 percent from three-point range.

Unfortunately, no way to make that deal due to the hard cap and 14 roster spots needing to be filled. Salary wise, Lou, Bev, Zu and Fi work, but we're hard capped and no way to get to 14 roster spots.

Why the hell are you always thinking of end scenarios where Kawhi et al are outta here?
Kawhi is a Socal native and is playing in front of his own crowd. He loves it here. He's going to build something great here. He has to lay roots somewhere and why not here. He's already won two rings and he's not going to leave LA to chase rings. The same is for PG. They will be a solid foundation for at least the next 4 years.
Stop ending every damn post with Kawhi bolting.

We are using the non-tax payer midlevel exception to sign Ibaka, which puts us over the tax and we lose the right the use bi-annual exception of $3.5M if I'm not mistaken. so all we have left is vet minimums and bird-rights if I'm not mistaken.

We have the BAE, vet min deals and also a few small trade exceptions. The exceptions are really only useful if we make a trade and end up saving some more money against the hard cap. As of right now, the BAE and 1 vet min deal would get us to the required 14 and snug against the hard cap.

Yeah I read if we cut Noah and Patton we should have the BAE.

We have the BAE regardless, the issue is the hard cap. If we are unable to package Noah and Patton for salary matching purposes in a deal, they are waived and we then have room to use the BAE + 1 min guy.
