??? Turner extension was front loaded with their remaining cap room, he's back to 21M next season and 20M the following one, how can it be a financial problem when Capela will make 21M and 23M the next two seasons?
By the way, ATL are at their place this season, 16th payroll
It was this season, after trading for Murray that they should have started to pay the Luxury Tax, and not trading Huerter just to avoid that. I just hope that Snyder made sure that Ressler is ready to pay it starting next season before signing his contract, which I think he did

I see it coming from two things, and he's not totally responsible for that, it's more the staff:
- finger injury from last season, and not ordering to not play and get surgery as soon as possible
and/or
- taking more 3pts shots from the corner, while I always saw him as better 3pts shooter between the center and 45°
