Every team has 5.2M maximum annual cash limit to buy picks
We spent 1.5 on bonga. So we got 3.7 left. It resets at the end of the month for the next year. Spend it or lose it type thing

Yeah we could attach money from this exception to make those contracts/players more attractive. We can use 3.7M that we have left or wait til July 6 and attach up to 5.6M when the pool resets

SHADES OF: Eric Gordon, Deonte Burton
PLUSES
- Shot-creation skills are uncommon for a player with his body: He unleashes NBA Street–style moves to generate space to get buckets.
- Solid spot-up shooter from a stationary position, though his low, robotic release may not be as effective against NBA length.
- Makes difficult cross-court passes off the dribble, and has keen passing vision that could be cultivated in the NBA.
- Good rebounder who high-points the ball and sparks transition offense by taking the ball up the floor.
- Long arms and strong frame theoretically give him the ability to switch screens, using his length to swallow guards and bulk to battle bigs.
- Youth. He turned 18 in November, so there are untapped skills for a team to mature.
- Poor free throw shooter who doesn’t display touch on floaters or layups, which doesn’t inspire much confidence in the upside of his jumper.
- Shot selection is problematic. He takes far too many contested pull-ups with lots of time left on the shot clock.
- Erratic decision-maker driving the ball. He forces wild shots underneath the rim instead of locating shooters.
- Loose handle that sometimes comes up above his shoulders. He needs tighten it up or won’t be nearly as effective in an NBA setting.
- Slow moving laterally on defense. He’s often out of position and plays float-footed, but with his thick frame and wide hips, he just might not be quick enough on the perimeter.
- Low-effort defender who doesn’t play with passion, toughness, or focus. Defensive consistency is a teamwide issue though, so he could be a product of the environment.
