Dame took a bit of a pay cut on his last deal didn't he? In order to help the team pay for talent.
I'm wondering if he was thinking to himself....hmm...I took a pay cut so that Olshey could massively over-pay for crabbe, turner and Leonard....never again.

I only wonder if he's going to cost the team 50% of the cap during a last year on this deal
like Portland wouldn't blow that cap space on Evan Turner, Allen Crabbe, Meyers Leonard, etc.

Blazers didn't use cap room to sign Crabbe or Leonard. The cap room they used to sign Turner was like writing a check with disappearing ink. The cap room was there in 2016 but would be gone in 2017 when CJ's extension kicked in.
