    The Wiz are reportedly going to match it.

    The Wiz and Kings play in different conferences. I don't see how they'd benefit from that. I think the legitimately want Otto Porter for some reason.

    The Wiz are close to or at the 94 million mark so that strategy doesn't apply to them. They were always going to go over the cap to sign him whether it was 15 mil or 20 mil.

    Woj said Boston almost took Okafor off our hands but trade didn't materialize. I just want this guy gone already.

    They didn't really have a choice when it came to Otto. They didn't have any significant cap space so it was either resign Otto which doesn't count against the cap or let him walk and only be able to sign a player for the vet min (or the MLE if they still have that available.)

    Their cap situation actually isn't terrible. At least the long term cap future.

    For the next 2 years they're pretty much going to be the same team barring a significant trade. But in 2 years everyone not named Beal, Porter (assuming the wiz match) & Ian becoming free agents (not including rookies). Ian is going to be on the last year of his contract so they should be able to move him.

    That leaves just Beal and Porter. They'll probably have somewhere around 30-40 mil in cap space that they'll be able to spend in free agency and then they could go over the cap to resign John Wall.

    Yea Wall can find a better big 3 to be a part of then Otto Porter and an injury prone Beal. He'll be gone once Summer of 2019 comes around.

    I need someone to swoop up Gallinari so he doesn't become the C's back up plan if they don't get Hayward. Would rather they extend Bradley this offseason then sign him. Not that I want that either but he'd be cheaper and he's a better player.

    Melo now says he'd waive his no trade clause for Cleveland or Houston.
