What a freaking team man. Bunch of warriors.
Caleb MARTIN my god.. amazing game he is so good with his shot making, cuts, defense and hustling.

We can’t celebrate yet but im happy. We have that green heart in our hands and now we must squeeze it and finish them off. We gotta win and protect home court. Sweep them and let the media eat their hats

What an amazing 180 this team has done. One for the books.

I expect Strus to get a much better offer than that.

I think reasonable comparisons are Derrick White (4-years, $70M), Seth Curry (coming off a 4-year, $32M deal), Grayson Allen ($2 years, $18M) , Pat Connaughton (3-years, $27M), Reggie Bullock (3-years, $30M), KCP (3 years, $39M), Landry Shamet (4-year, $43M), Kevin Heurter (4-years, $65M).

Miami is definitely not going to give Strus anything close to the higher end of that scale unless they find a taker for Duncan Robinson and/or Herro. However, Miami really got burned with the Duncan deal, so I expect something much lower.

Memphis will be looking for a replacement for Dillon Brooks, and Strus would be a great fit there. I imagine Denver, New Orleans, Philadelphia (especially if Harden leaves), Sacramento, Toronto (assuming they don't bring back Trent Jr and/or VanVleet), and possibly Utah would all be interested.

I expect Strus to get around the MLE.

I’m also expecting Strus to get MLE. Think he gets more then Vincent. I could see Vincent doing the Caleb deal with us. I think his market is a bit overhyped and Strus underhyped. If we lose Strus then Herro is not going anywhere. If we sign Strus i expect Herro gets traded.

After this playoff run, one would think Herro is going to get shopped, even if he gets shopped quietly.

I don't know where re-signing Strus and Vincent would leave financially with the new CBA rules, but I think Miami would have one of the highest team salaries in the entire league and be in line for whatever penalties come with that.

I’m almost certain that we are not going over the second apron which is over 17.5 million. We are currently 11.5 million over with 8 signed and one player Oladipo with 10 mil worth of dead money once opted in. We will get an injury exception for him but once again need to stay under line. It’s probably in our best interest to sign S&T for a free agent using Lowry’s contract much like we did with Dragic with that player making less coming back.

This franchise is in crazytown. We are undertalented ... but we keep winning. And the more we win, the higher the market value of our players goes. And the higher the market value of our players goes, the more we're going to have to pay just to keep together a roster that we'd rather upgrade. It's bonkers, but lets hope we can at least get a championship out of this.

The worst case scenario would be losing the finals and then overpaying a bunch of role players and getting stuck in cap hell.

Scott Foster will be in LA tonight. Looks like we’re in the clear for tomorrow (but in the Eric Lewis crosshairs).

One of the worst regular seasons to watch.

A lot of us were emotionally exhausted from the constant let downs.

This playoff turnaround has been nothing short of a sports spectacle - an 8th seed playing this well thus far is beyond rational analysis.

I’m besides myself

This is like our season. How the girl begins and how after makeup/playoffs she looks. It's an incredible transformation.
