Means Chicago will re-up with Ayo Dosunmu, even with the Coby-Giddey backcourt in line for a huge raise of their own.

Okoro has been pretty bad recently, Cavs regretted giving him that contract.

Interesting to me that we didn't send Okigie for Lonzo in a similar deal

Could mean we're further slashing payroll, and cutting Okogie to offset the sunk cost in Micić.

What do you mean by "further slashing payroll"? What move have we made to reduce payroll?

We have 7 rookie scale roster spots of 15.

You can do math.

I can see the point of view based on that, but to be clear we have yet to do any deals to cut payroll right? I'm just trying to track because your post suggests that has been a motivation in making moves and I'm just trying to understand what you're pointing to.

It's a longterm budget forecast. As it stands, payroll is bottom 5 or close to it.

Best I can tell we're 29th at 183mm total cap and Utah is 30th at 170mm. Agree we've not been making purely financial cost-cutting moves - also agree we have a low overall budget.

(Also know that I know very little when it comes to NBA cap math)

Weren't you one of the ones saying they traded Mark because they didn't want to pay him?

Yes, but because of injury risk, not to actually cut salary. I don't see cutting salary as the motivation for that move.

I hate that we have to play against this m*********** four times a year. He started to play pretty good for Miami I thought towards the end of the year. And he was exceptional in the play in game.
