$16,235,142 Luxury Tax Room
Who falls in the $12.2m-$16.2m range, where preserving that AD TPE was crucial in allowing them to go over the MLE number, but stay below the tax line...
One blinking red light is Nikola Jovic at exactly $16.2m.
These are just simple trades where the player is received via AD TPE. Of course, the $$ spread would be different if any player is outgoing.
This would seemingly fit what Masai and Mike seem to like (except for the length of contract part). To me, it makes sense to look at the upper end of your range as Biber could have had more money if we were only trying to save room for a $14mm player. BTW, I have slightly more room under the tax on my spreadsheet (not saying it is correct). I have $16.493mm.
