Yeah, 7 years is definitely not ideal. I’m not hopeful we could get someone to take Powell and some of what is rumored out there requires us to get under the tax far enough to be able to do some things.
Another version of this might be to trade THJ and Brown ($22.6mm) for S&T Bamba. Orlando has cap room and that swap saves something similar to the Bertans S/W if you pay Bamba $12mm.
Now you still have to deal with signing Brunson and staying under the Apron. So, maybe it is Powell who gets Stretched and saves $7.4mm. Not quite enough if Brunson starts at $20mm, so maybe Chriss gets added to the Orlando deal. You have 3 years or $3.4mm instead of 7 years of $5.4mm. Obviously better to trade Powell for air. I’m just not positive that will be easy to do.
