Cavs +Watson -Schrรถder -Strus =better? ๐Ÿง The job of a front office is to acquire a collection of players that is greater than the sum of their individual salaries. The job of a coaching staff is to put that collection of players in a position to produce at a level that is greater than the sum of their individual abilities. #LetEmKnow the coaching staff is now on the clock โฑ๏ธ

๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ” If GSW had thought they were getting LeBron, it would make no sense to have used the BAE on Melton, hardcapping them at 209M. They could've used the TPMLE on him & spent up to 221.7M filling out the roster โ€” & w Bron on a min โ€” then given all of whatever is left to Draymond (which he could split w Bron 5yrs from now invisibly & avoid circumvention penalties) ๐Ÿง

According to @BobbyMarks42, GSW actually did leave their optionality open for the exact strategy laid out in my post by using the TPMLE on Melton (in the BAE amount). I originally went off @spotrac โ€” which appears to be wrong โ€” to formulate my reasoning, which is also wrong. Hopefully we'll get a definitive announcement later today ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ“ข๐Ÿคž
