Cap should have no issue keeping SGA. I have more realistic optimism with the Eastern Conference
For sure. Brunson, in particular, is 100% changing teams. OR one of the other Big 3 is on the make.
Hey Cap...We havent even closed the trading deadline out - why do we care about free agency?
Hate seeing the retired badge next to your name BUT you deserve it

It basically comes down to Hoffa and I've had frank conversations with Hoffa about this. He'll either pony the **** up or he won't. I've got a lot of cash, I'll get more, and I'm gonna use it. It could happen though. He has more.
Hoffa is a serial bluffer. I can’t see him offering what it’ll take to beat a legitimate market value extra bird rights year that you can go to, that he cannot.
I don’t think he has the stomach to build his roster under a model with one player occupying that significant of a portion of his cap.

I mean considering what I got back for him. Its a couple of people. IJS. I was not going anywhere with him this year anyway. Its stings, but you have to do what you have to do when you get a crazy offer like that.

I know he was close to 500ish on Joker so he def will get up there...but its tough when you gotta make up that 5th year....you gotta get to uncomfortable spots...

That uncomfortable spot is that Brandon Ingram contract.

Indeed but that is more the player than the contract...like if you got SGA type or Joker type for mid 500's it sure will be difficult but its not an impossible build either. But paying someone that contract that won't return you top 10-20 player type value you is damning.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
The trade deadline is in a little under four hours. As always, all trades need to be submitted by all teams before 7:00PM. Please double and triple check your math, EL, roster spots, draft picks, etc.
If teams submit a trade that doesn’t work I will write back to the teams involved and give them a 15 minute grace period to correct any errors. So some trades can and will be announced after 7:00PM. But if teams are not online and not able to fix an illegal trade after the 15 minutes, then the trade will not be allowed to go through.
I’ll be home around 5:30 tonight to start opening PMs.

If I were you I would worry about how you gonna sign Wemby and Amen at $199/5 and $133/5 extensions and stay competitive.
When I gave you Wemby I expected more out of you
