Yes, it would generate a ~$41 million TPE in your scenario.
In order to avoid violating the Stepien Rule, the trade will not be officially completed until AFTER the Blazers make the 16th pick tomorrow...
The apron is $138.928 million. Same as last season.
I don't expect the Rockets to use either the Non-Taxpayer MLE or the Biannual Exception, since the use of either would impose a hard cap. And...
He pulled out of the draft. Maybe next year.
No, they'll just have to pay more luxury tax than they had otherwise planned/hoped to pay. Or they can dump more salary to avoid/mitigate the tax.
Ha! Actually, the way I met Rafael Stone was that he interviewed me for a job to be his #2 (Associate General Counsel) for the Rockets and Toyota...
I'm pretty sure the Rockets are doing (nearly) the same sort of due diligence they did last year, to the extent permitted by COVID protocols. We...
They can use the Taxpayer MLE on him, but that’s gonna push them (further) into the tax. Not that I care. Using the Non-Taxpayer MLE causes...
I’m actually hoping all the chaos around this draft causes more potentially good players to slip or even fall out of the draft altogether. Hoping...
Not really. Until he is re-signed, Davis's CAP HOLD will still apply towards the Lakers' books for next season for purposes of determining if...
Not really. There would be BYC issues with Austin’s new salary. Plus, a S&T also imposes a hard cap. If you’re adding much more salary, it’ll be...

I mean, the Rockets are an NBA franchise, and Pop is a non-fictional human person. So...
They ducked under when they traded Capela, Nene and Gerald Green for Covington and Bruno. We all know Fertitta doesn't want to pay the tax (but...
This is false. The Rockets actually spent every last penny of their Taxpayer MLE this season (minus a small amount that burnt off via proration),...
Huh??? This was @heypartner, not me.
Aside from Gordon’s trade value, the Rockets would likely be near or over the apron level and would not be able to field a team if they were...
That’s a decent (realistic) list, although I’d be shocked if James Johnson didn’t exercise his very lucrative player option for next season....
Possibly. But Michael Frazier is clearly ahead of William Howard in line for an NBA roster spot if it came to that. If we needed our 17th man to...
