in such a case, cap space is a valuable asset, no?
Having Noah's EC after next season could be valuable...

Yea, I was thinking that we can do a sign and trade for Kemba and we can eat Batums contract in the process while handing over 2 unprotected 1sts and offering an unprotected pick swap in the gap year. The catch is that I have to be able to drop the B-word towards the female of my choice.
Mainly, if we do want to add a FA or trade for an actual superstar (like Celts did Kyrie) we can use the versatility of the Noah contract to our advantage. Same with Lee, Thomas etc. If we create the cap space NOW, we also create a chance to USE IT. If we free up say 12M in cap, we have jjjjust enough to overpay a MLE type guy for 3 years and become an unmovable. The only scenario that I would not throw an absolute hissy fit about would be if we stretched Noah to eat a 1 year contract attached to a pick.
