Time for another venture through the Blazer's Edge Mailbag.
Are we under the minimum salary cap right now? If so, do we go get a guy to avoid paying the penalty? But then,what if that player is good enough to get us out of the Sabonis Jr' lottery contention? To sum up my question, is it better to be really bad and pay the cap penalty, or slightly better and avoid the penalty?
The Portland Trail Blazers are under the minimum salary cap level for 2015-16 as we speak. But there seems to be plenty of misunderstanding about how this works.
