The mystery continues, lol.

Masai a smart man, taking risk rather than writing stupid blogs...

[The Claw Reborn]

Why some are stuck typing blogs on salary cap and others are doing the real thing....

that is 27 million expiring contract for Batum, huge chunk to free more space next...

[The Claw Reborn]

Some SFs that maybe a good fit are:

Tony Snell - just got traded (expiring)
Finney-Smith - DAL (4M x 2 more yrs)
Miles Bridges...

San Antonio is interesting what they would do with the expiring of Aldridge...

[The Claw Reborn]

Alex Len welcome, good get to bolster the big rotation

[The Claw Reborn]

thanks, then I guess that could be it in getting another big via free agency. Doubtful that Len or Cousins would accept 2.5 mil with non guarantee for...
