    As long as nobody brings out a box of Honey Nut Cheerios I think we're good. I hear he hates those.

    I'd like to see how. Lin makes 8.3 on the cap. Melo will get 18+, how do you even remotely make that salary match? And then somehow swing someone else to get close to what Lowry wants? Another 10+ mill?

    You dont have to understand it.

    Bima knows his stuff and if he says it is possible, it is.

    If Bima says it can be done, it can be done.

    What's worth noting is that I actually said it could be done on the boards before Bima posted it on Twitter.

    Asik and Lin out creat 16 million in cap space alone. You can sign Melo outright by not re signing a few more players. You would the. Hope you can get Lowry in a S+T and then you can match Parsons offer.

    Your idea can only become plausible after Bima runs the numbers to prove it...

    I'm fully capable of figuring out the salary cap ramifications myself.
