2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Mapka]

Actually, you HAVE TO make a trade with anyone who wants him that doesn't have cap room.  So, NY (as I've illustrated numerous times) has to come up with the right amount of salary to make BYC work.  It isn't difficult to do with other teams either.  It is just math.

At this point we don't have certainty around when the TPE is gone.  The most likely expiration date is 7/31 as it is listed at Spotrac which is one calendar year from the Richardson trade.  That is a month after free agency starts, meaning the TPE can easily be used to facilitate something around the draft or in the first few weeks after the moratorium.  

I don't think anyone wants this outcome, but it would be foolish to not have contingencies around the possibility.

Internet says FA starts 08/02.

TPE is there at the Draft but not in FA. This makes sense, because this is when we got it.

We don't have to make a trade. If it doesn't do us any good, don't do it.

There is nothing on NYK I want. If they want to offer JB let them figure it out.

We don't know if and where and why JB would want to leave. So there is no planing about it.
