Also - can we please have Jarret Allen? Thanks.

I am a little concerned with the lack of a viable big on this team.
Great having the full MLE but there isn’t gonna be any bigs left.

Cs don’t have full MLE

I think he meant "it's great waiting to potentially get it"

Edit: Nope, he didn't mean that

Seriously.  You've got Al & Embid in Philly, Giannis and the Lopez brothers in Milwaukee.  You're gonna get destroyed in those match ups with what's currently on the roster.

Iggy to PHI (or LAL) would stink

Edit: Hopefully Iggy's post hints at the Knicks!

Lakers make too much sense for him honestly.

Yeah, he'll be ripe to go there. Won't help with their shooting woes, though.

Thought they get all of it with a sign and trade with Charlotte

Sorry to bust your balls, but we don't have the full MLE yet, not until we get Brooklyn or Philly to do S&Ts with us in conjunction with the Charlotte trade.

As of right now we don’t have the full MLE.

Russell to the warriors

Means looney will not return back there

As it stands now (assuming Morris' cap hold is waived), I'm pretty sure we have the full MLE... (and about 2.5 million in extra cap space.

W/ Iguodala trade, Russell and Klay both maxes and dump Livingston's GT, GSW 5 players.  A mere $18.2m below the hard cap to fill out 9 roster slots. Even if they keep McKinnie, Graham, Napier NG, $13.1m for 6. Goodbye Looney, Cousins, Cook, possibly Bell.

The Russell deal means the Warriors won’t be able to keep Kevon Looney, a prime candidate for the Celtics’ vacant starting big spot.

Well, would still prefer Noel given the option, as he'll be cheaper, but Looney would be a solid (if undersized) consolatoin prize.

Man, I really wanted Robin Lopez...

Nope. The fact that we'd still have open cap space and would use some of it to sign Kemba is a clear sign that we wouldn't have the full MLE but rather the Room Exception.

is Cousins out of the realm of possibilities at this point ?
