If this wasn't enough of a troll, Basketball-Reference made an account for “cash considerations” with an incredibly-detailed player bio to honor it.

Congratulations Clutch City, you've got yourself a bench player for 25 pounds' worth of cash. Hurray!
If that wasn't enough, “cash considerations” had a statement to follow its arrival (by wire, we assume) to Rip City.

Everyone likes money, and apparently so do the Blazers who had a $119 million player payroll in 2016-17.
