Playing around with another "help" concept. This one is helping Lowry get to Philly.
I get that Tobias Harris makes an enormous amount of money, but he does most of what attracts us to Collins at $28mm AND can creates his own shot. Philly can't get S&T Lowry without dumping some salary to avoid the hard cap. Most presume it would be Simmons. But what if they see Simmons in the front court being a good use if they have another shot creator in Lowry.
So, we send Powell and S&T Hardaway ($17.2mm) to Toronto. We get Tobias and Philly probably gets a hometown discount from Lowry. If that number is $25mm this saves them $11mm toward staying under the apron. We can take back a little more salary as this is all over the cap (Thybulle, Green, Korkmaz?), though only the first one helps with their salary situation. Or, you do the Satoransky deal we discussed earlier. There is still the MLE to fill in other holes.
