I think this puts POR over cap by $5m next season so it'll be fun to see Vik wiggle out of that hole in the summer, haha.
Nice cap dump for LAL and it only cost a move down the draft board essentially. I can't speak to the depth of draft talent this year, but I'm sure Wiz knows what he's talking about.
Funny that a 10-3 team tied or 3rd Overall in the league doesn't see this year as a "contending" year though. I lost out in the 2nd round of playoffs last year after being the #1 seed, so you never know what can happen!
