<< He is a RFA, meaning we can match, but should we? I don't really know all the ends and outs of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Salary Cap, but if we do a S&T with another team and get something back we could use, it should leave our mid-level exemption in tact, right? >>

That's all correct. Because he's our rfa we can sign him for anything up to the mid-level exception and it doesn't affect our own exceptions. We can also match any offer no matter how much its for and it doesn't affect the availability of our exceptions.

The Clippers definitely would not offer Wang enough to make a match with Olowakandi. If they let Olowakandi go, it is completely because Sterling is not willing to pay a player more than he is already paying Olo this year.
