If we use the TPE to acquire Klay... then there are a couple things to think through

• Is GS trying to be a below-the-apron team? Cutting CP3 completely. Then I'm not sure why we are using a TPE. They can take some salary back or use the generous below the apron trade math
  

• If they are above the apron... then the TPE makes sense... BUT it would imply they are getting a non-salaries asset back for facilitating the deal. Which would mean we are probably sending our 2025 1st.
  

• IF we are acquiring Klay via a TPE... we need to reduce salary another way. Both Maxi and Green fit cleanly into a team's Full MLE. This is the first season you can use the Full MLE as a TPE. We could try and recoop draft assets from a hypothetical Green into a TPE trade.
