Cadillac version of the Isiah years. Capped out, no way to improve the team. Sad

We have the MLE which immediately hard caps us so vet minimums is all we have

CJ McCollum needs his ass kicked on sight if he ever shows his face out here

I thought we had enough room under the 2nd apron to use the $5.7M taxpayer MLE and get a vet min player or 2

Cole would be a really decent back up for Brunson and Clarkson would help with bench scoring. I agree though we need another big forward

I would rather have Deuce's defense to go along with Clarkson's playmaking and scoring. Clarkson and Cole would just be fighting each other for shots.

But that would make Clarkson the primary ball handler off the bench, unless Kolek is ready to step in.

He has usually been the primary ball handler off the bench. Kolek has to show up and show out to get his chance.

I’m not worried about kolek Until he can hit a pull up jumper

I'd rather Cole and Deuce.

I prefer Clarkson because he is a little bigger with a ridiculous 6'10 wingspan

He'll get plenty of minutes at SF then

I thought we had enough room under the 2nd apron to use the $5.7M taxpayer MLE and get a vet min player or 2

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that once we use that exception we are hard capped.

Far as I know, we have a little under 12M before hitting the 2nd apron

Taxpayer MLE is a little under 6M

So yeah, we have the MLE and a couple vet mins.

No you have to be able to fill out a roster. There are roster holds in place already that cover the vet min.

Yeah, we would be hard capped at the 2nd apron which we are around $12M under right now I thought for 10 players not including McCullar. We can use the TMLE and still have room to bring in some vet min guys I assume
