MLE

This move had to happen. I went over the hardcap with my last move and it gets me under. It also allows me to resign Faried and Hibbert next season and I'll have the cap to resign Conley as well. I shouldn't have to worry about my 2022 1st with that protection, lotto protected firsts are nice.

If I didn't make this move I probably wouldn't have been able to get under the hardcap, and then would have lost more picks and my players to FA in the offseason.

I should've tried to harder to remove that protection, but meh.

I swith players without dropping much in talent, Chris Paul fits perfectly contractually with my plans for a full rebuild in two years with cap space, and I get two picks in return.

Alex Len if you could make the in season MLE be Tyler Zeller that would be great.

So basically, musta is letting Macvan walk if he doesn't sign another insane budget contract.

I like that!

[mustajab]

i'm aware, not my last move.

[mustajab]

that's a concern though lol but i also anticipate he'll sign a 2 mill contract. i should have some flexibility.

Rockets trade: $18,000,000
Cavs trade: $16,465,850

$18,000,000 - $16,465,850 = $1,534,150

I'm over by $1,473,186 and cleared $1,534,150.
