What is the difference between the cap and the luxury tax line? I thought that the cap was the luxury tax line....

Needed to move more salary for a sign-and-trade or if Tim were inflexible with $6 Million. But the assumption hasn't been that Patty has needed to go for a while now. Probably since the Spurs moved Splitter separately

The above tweet actually assumed he'd be last among folks using cap space. So after the Splitter trade and LMA.

Once it got to that, I couldn't see Duncan's forcing a Mills dump.

he'll use up what space there is, but he has to do it before aldridge signs because of his $15mil cap hold.

I didn't either, but that was also around the time Mills was meeting with LMA, so it as pretty obvious by then anyway.

Or they could renounce him and sign him afterwards. Tweet gave Duncan the $100k overage that comes with the final signing.

Didn't see that

Speaking of Tony Parker... His pops and brother... plus other random, bruthas were at the Sushi Zushi I work at earlier this evening. I was looking for Tp to see his condition, but alas he is in France.

Oh well... I got to yell Japanese at his pops and bro as they strolle out the door. Man his dad is dapper.
