I hope everyone does the right thing tonight and roots as hard as possible for the great Chris Paul and his scrappy Phoenix Suns!! Can't let that pimple on the face of America known as Milwaukee win another NBA championship, so we all need to do our part!!!

I picked the Suns in 6, but rooting for the "pimple on the face of America's" team.

Look, I have no particular dynamic love for Milwaukee, but KL has been ludicrously stubborn about not explaining the basis for his schtick, so... with that and the fact that I hate the Phoenix franchise out of previously-explained bitter jealousy (you know, unlike people who don't explain their hatreds for particular cities), go Bucks and booooo to KL!!!!

Go Bucks! This may be Giannis' only chance with the Nets super team going forward.

Good point! We'll only have to root for PHX just this once, good people! We can do it!

I think some teams might value a 1 year try and see JRich deal at 11 mil.  But if you think his value is way less than that, then why would Utah (who has series cap issues) want to take him on in an S&T?

I think it is very different to ask someone to take JRich into cap space than trading him. I can't remember a deal where someone took a player into cap space without getting a compensation. Even if it was a one year. Sort of similar as Cleveland removing protection from Milwaukee pick. Milwaukee had to pay for it despite the fact removing protection was better for Cle. 

Utah would be taking him because it might be better for them to at least have him than nothing, if Conley decides to go.

My primary argument on the other thread was not that operating under the cap was necessarily better, just that it is much more likely.

Totally agree with that.
