    Not spending the ducats on Jalen Smith is baffling, since the team badly needs bigs. There are clearly only two possible reasons: 1) Smith liked Indiana and signed there without regard, or 2) the Spurs are saving money to save on moving trucks to Las Vegas.
    Indeed, especially considering we could have signed him with an exemption and not hurt our cap space. Honestly I’m shocked he ended up back in IND in general, it was widely assumed he’d get a better deal than the max IND could offer

    It was widely assumed here because it was pushed by a couple of posters..it wasn't widely assumed everywhere..

    Or keeping max space open for potential deals...

    He probably has speeding tickets so isn't a cultural fit.

    no limit. if not used and they are below the floor, all the current players on the team will get a raise to the floor. i.e. if the salary cap floor is $100 million and we have $80 million in salary, then the all the players on the roster will get a portion of the $20 million balance.

    I remember Philly, during the dog days of The Process, grabbing a player in the aftermath of the February trade deadline, and subsequent cuts so they could hit minimum payroll. There isn’t really a deadline other than the end of your season.

    1) I don't think a team ever has to reach the minimum salary floor in contracts. At the end of the season, any deficit is paid to players pro rata.
    2) A team could add salary throughout the year even after the trade deadline and late, though those are reduced by payments made before acquisition.

    Ok thanks for those informations, they'll have opportunities during the year so it's safe to don't rush things.

    Because it is inherent in most of us to whine.
    I like the ones that whine like crazy, but try to make it funny.
    Good .

    For most it appears to be moves and less about the players.

    A 2-4 more picks would help the rebuild go faster.

    No, we're not tanking. When will people get this through their thick skulls?

    Let's just see how the rest of the off-season goes, yes?
    They dump Poeltl and Richardson for "assets", then they are tanking, no matter how hard Pop coaches.

    They don't, then they aren't.

    But let's not talk like a know-it-all right now, yes?

    Either you think we aren't moving Poeltl or you have your own personal definition of tanking...

    Tanking means losing games on purpose. Literal definition. This is not what the team is doing, will do, or ever do unless there's a complete change in conception. Words have meaning.

    And, no, I don't think they're moving Poeltl at this point. Like I said, they are not going into the season with only Zach Collins at Center.

    I agree with you that we aren't going to have coaches or players lose games on purpose. I do think we move Jak though and the FO will make sure that we don't have the players necessary to win alot of games. In essence, the FO is going to lose on purpose...call it what you will...

    We’ve seen the FO subtract. People are going to be disappointed if/when they start adding players.

    I don’t think the line starts at trading Poeltl— they could very well trade him for a piece that’s a better fit for the team.

    Time will tell. It’s very early. I do think they’re up to something and we’re going to see a move by June 6th.

    People say we’re tanking, or we’re not tanking. Neither of those is true.

    We’re churning. We draft as many FRPs as we can, develop the out of them to try for the superstar. As they prove not to be, we’ll move them on to soft landings if they’ve been with the program. Pop will never hold players out to intentionally lose game. OTOH, we won’t sign anyone who will raise our floor, either. We will be as god or as bad as the players on the roster.
