Brunos contract amended from guaranteed to non-guaranteed

Looks like we are trying to keep options open if something better comes along.

I’m glad we are doing this because as we all can see Bruno is trash lol

Looks like he may be cut when Kelly gets back. Probably didn’t have any other offers.

I threw a stone outside my house and found a better option...

I'm pretty sure that by you being able to throw a stone, you're a better offensive option

This is good news. He's a free rental for now. Even though his minimum salary wouldn't have been a big cap hit, it's good to have a little more wiggle room and flexibility for free roster spots if we cut him later.

I wish he wasnt on any deal but this is an improvement.

Probably is it.

This kind of feels like penny-pinching. We have lots of space under the tax now, and the guy is only on a minimum. We can cut him and pay him is guaranteed amount and still have left over for deals. Feel bad for Bruno; crappy deal.

If he had a better offer then he would have taken it

This is what we need to do, we need to start finding wins in the margins. His deal is a little over 2mil, removing him from the equation puts us at about 13mil below the first apron, every little bit counts if a deal comes along.

Sadly, the better option isn't gold.

I am hoping it comes from a trade for a backup C, so that we can actually execute some of the strategies, such as to understand a defensive lineup with slow pace with Dick being hide on defense.

Team realized let's just run Chomche for the rest of the season.

He is bad why would we pay him guaranteed money? You should feel bad for me because the Raptors arent paying me.

[Zeno]

Nice to know there is still some degree of competence in these dark times

[Raptorfan2012]

So much teasing for a move - cap space and potential roster space. Still need to wait a few months.

Noooo my tank commander

Congrats, you're now the backup center for the Raptors.

Exactly. And we shouldn't be looking at the 1st apron really, but the tax line. That's set at ~$171m this season. We are currently at ~$162 if I'm not mistaken. That gives us ~$9m in room. $2m can help us a lot: It can allow us to pretty much use the entire MLE as an exception, and we are only 1 of a handful of teams that can do that which could be the difference between a deal and no deal. And if we do need to include his salary to make a trade work, we just guarantee him.

Waiving Carlsen makes a lot more sense now that we know Bruno is not guaranteed.
