The Thunder re-signed Raymond Felton to a one-year, $2.4 million deal Tuesday night. In doing so, the Thunder have become the first team to cross the $300 million mark in salary and projected luxury tax commitments. They now have a luxury tax bill of $150 million, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
I really have no idea what they are doing. Hefty price tag for meaningless playoff appearances.I guess they have to fill out their roster so what’s the difference between $290M and $300M, even when it’s for someone as washed as Felton?
I still the Thunder could pose problems for the Warriors especially if Roberson is healthy
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.
I’m starting to think owners are less worried about going deep into the tax with now legalized gambling, which probably has vastly increased the value of teams.

No team has the cap space to absorb Melo's contract. Abrines and Singler seem like the only ones they'll move.
