2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[DanSchwartzgan]

I am afraid the question regarding Harris comes down to whether he is viewed as worth the increase in LuxTax it would require to add him to the payroll.

I like Harris but I am not sure I like him enough at 140% of the salary difference.
 

The way I proposed this, the salary increase is $3.95mm.  Anything we do to add salary (TPE, TP-MLE) is going to be tax expensive.  That is especially true if we are trying to improve two slots (center and a two-way wing).  I think the question comes down to whether Harris is $3.95mm (plus tax) better than Hardaway. 

The perfect player isn't walking through the door given what we have to offer.  So, what imperfection are we willing to tolerate?  A financial imperfection (on a shorter deal) is OK by me as long as we also have a path that gets us a center upgrade (and I think we do).
