That isn't much money since the cap is projected at $134M next year. 15% of your cap is about right for a 40% 3PT shooter. They still have $40M in space this summer.

I have test drove a lot of different EV's and the Tesla software is some of the best IMO. So a little Tesla influence on Twitter might not be the worst thing.
Tesla better be getting compensated by Twitter for this or else Musk will be facing a lawsuit from Tesla stock holders. You can't use your engineers from your publicly traded company to work on your private company without compensation.
So in a draft that has the best prospect since LeBron and a #2 who goes #1 nine times out of ten, LA and Brooklyn could finish #1 and #2 in the lottery. And neither team would make those picks due to pick swaps. Man would that be delicious.
