OKC will certainly do some tax management before the summer is over, but it seems like their tax bill will be at least $40 million this year.
Can they realistically even get it that low? No team has the cap space to absorb Melo's contract. Abrines and Singler seem like the only ones they'll move.
Stretching Melo helps a lot... At that's what I ve read.
save them like 91 million this year, though some of that is made up in future years obviously.
The problem is both George and Westbrook like Melo and they have no way to replace him. Now maybe it is worth it, but maybe not.
