2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[DanSchwartzgan]

Just trying to pass on Fisher's sentiments that they're basically just seeing what they can get for THJ, rather than hotly pursuing any of these big names.  

Thanks for passing this on.  Makes sense.  If THJ is the only trade chip on the table, then I don't expect anything of significance today.

THJ alone returns someone between $16.2mm and $26.7mm.  Obviously we could add salary to get to a bigger number or the other team could send two players who add up to the right number.  Here is a list focusing strictly on players who can be traded one for one for THJ and have been rumored to be available:

Dinwiddie
Fournier (back to NY...probably not)
Gordon*
Dragic
Grant*
Barnes*
Gallinari
Hield
Collins*
G. Harris

* would certainly require more assets than just THJ

Current LT Teams:

Golden State
LAC
Nets
Bucks
LAL
Utah
76ers
BOS
IND (barely)

Indy is the only team among the LT payers who is also outside the play-in.  Of course, we still have the TPE and could take a player into that without sending out THJ (so could several other teams as well though).  I wonder what it would cost to take T. J. McConnell into the TPE since Indy now has Brogdon and Haliburton.  He'd also provide some Brunson insurance.  

Boston is about $2.77mm over.  Besides the often discussed Schroder, Langford and Nesmith also make the right amount of money to get them under the tax.  Nesmith hasn't been good as a pro and is less strategically important to Boston than Schroder.  I'd pay a second to have him on our roster instead of Moses.
