The way Hinkie has cleared a massive amount of cap space for opportunities like this can't be overvalued

It's funny because I remember getting in an argument with a Hinkie hater on r/nba, part of my argument for being pro-Hinkie was how Hinkie was able to clear so much cap space and how useful that cap space would be. Basically I was told that our cap space was redundant/useless because of the situation we are currently in. Guess people don't understand the concept of taking on contracts to gain assets.

Anyway, I'm just glad that Hinkie is putting our cap to use, and we are still under the cap floor by quite a lot after that deal. I have to think he still has another move or two in store. This right here is why you can never save too much money when it comes to player salaries. We may be missing out on the big names but there are always ways to progress. In a couple more offseasons, we will be the ones bringing in some big names to what I imagine will be an already stacked roster with all of the assets Hinkie has gathered. Sure we may have to overpay, but we'll be way over the cap anyway once we start to re-sign players on rookie contracts eventually. Can't overstate how happy we should be with the direction this team is going. Trust the fucking process.
