Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[KillerLeft]

If Klay went to Miami for $7mm and took a $7mm discount on his buyout, that would put Dallas $23mm under the tax.  It is one thing to have a $21mm TPE, but you effectively can’t fully use it in a non-tax paying year if you aren’t $21mm under the tax.  If Klay gave Dallas that discount, it would give them room to pay Cisse and have the full TPE amount under the tax in case something came up (or was planned).

Yeah, I can see this - good stuff. 

Earlier in the summer I kind of thought we were headed down the "take Jovic and some serious draft capital off of Miami's hands in exchange for Thompson" road, but after the Aldama trade I just don't think there's enough room in the rotation here to offer Joivc much of a reclamation chance. I'd be super surprised if Dallas had any intention of taking his contract. 

But, I could see a 3 way deal that involved Jovic, maybe? Miami has to be desperate to unload the contract, after all.
