Phase 3 is re-realizing no team is giving up a lot of players and picks for a 37 year old on an expiring contract.
Yes, you could structure a trade like that, but under your example, I think you'd need to start Tate at $10.5M to avoid being hard-capped at the first apron. Even then, you could have a little trouble filling out the roster while ducking the second apron hard cap.
KD's aging curve up to last year. Whatever team acquires him gets the next three years of this descent, and will pay a supermax contract for it. For reference, XRAPM is the publicly available advanced all-in-one impact metric that best / most closely resembles what NBA teams use internally. From the guy who pioneered them (Jerry Engelmann).
Have a hunch, Jalen will be traded to the Nets. Has the cap space, Rockets have their pick and can use a young player.
Is there a team who would want Barrett at his salary? Let alone a team that would give up a first rounder to get him? I could see a team flipping a couple of 2nds for him. Good defender who can't reliably shoot or reliably create his own offence. Dillon Brooks without the jumpshot.....
I think it’s an overpay, but I think the Nets and Suns would approve. Rockets would probably have to send one of their own future picks to the Nets, but I forgot to put it in the trade machine.
You don't even have Cam J headed to Htown? PHX gets #10 & #19? BRK would def ask for their pick back over an Htown FRP You are equating Thrilla with pick #19 & Claxton? Plus then you have to now replace Jalen. I dig the effort, but No bueno
We know all these details about this deal but the suns still haven’t agreed on it. Maybe it was never offered to them.
PHX - BRK - TOR PHX: Quickly (TOR) + Poeltl (TOR) + #9 + #27 (via NYK & BRK) TOR: KD (PHX) BRK: RJ Barrett (TOR)
I said i didn’t like it. It was just in response saying Jalen could be re-routed to the Rockets. I don’t want Cam by the way. He is an overpaid chunker that doesn’t like defense.
this guy changes his tune everyday, sometimes twice a day. He’ll probably come close to hitting one if he puts out every scenario and then he can say he is a legit insider. These guys are all just lazy a*holes. I can come up with better scenarios than most of these idiots. Where do I apply?
