2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SamStetz]

Willie for DJ works straight up, but, you could also structure the deal to bring DJ in as part of the TPE.  Normally you can't aggregate UNLESS the player was acquired using cap space.  What I'm wondering is whether the TPE counts as "cap space".  It was created because of cap space, but isn't technically cap space.  The benefit, if this works, is you could combine DJ with other players before the TDL and he brings back up to $12mm.  So, instead of Willie as a trade chip, you could have DJ as a trade chip.

Doesn't help with Chriss, but MIGHT be a way to make the Willie "chip" more valuable.  I'm just to busy/lazy to research it.

Not sure about whether a player acquired via TPE can be added to other pieces in an outgoing trade, but WCS + Burke (7.2mil) could bring a player making 12.2mil back…is there anyone that fits this salary where the team acquiring WCS/Burke would look to save $5mil this season? (And potentially up to 8.1mil next season?) This would be a quick 2-for-1 deal that would free up a roster spot for TDL/Chriss
