POWELL THREAD

[Mapka]

This would not matter, if basketball had no salary cap, but it does. That means we are missing out on $6-10M in available salary. Players end up being overpaid. Happens all the time. Usually doesn´t happen with early extensions. The whole point of early extensions is security for the player and to cover against projected higher future costs for the team, not screw yourself over earlier and know it immediately, too.

We didn't use any cap since we did the extension, tough we could even have cleared a max slot. 

The sweet spot is always between the cap and the tax. And we have been there all the time. Without the injury he would be a better asset on 10 mio than an 2.2 mio because he could bring more money back. 

By the way, Poeltl and Len are absolutly unable to defend the perimeter, Powell has problems defending the post. They are as good as a benchmark as Boban lol.
