In the Bertans/THJ trade the increase in salary next year is minimal and the long term salary is a big savings. In the THJ/Powell trade I think Dan said the 1 year difference is something like $7M and the long term is like $9M? Also, if we’re set on using the TPE and TP-MLE, we’re looking to butt up against the max cap spot anyway, so the difference is in the quality of the players you’re getting.
I like Harris but I am not sure I like him enough at 140% of the salary difference.
IF HE IS
Could Philly be convinced to take a package based around Hayward?
I would propose adding Hayward (pre-draft) then repackaging him in a trade for Harris after July. It would be a massive increase in salary but it would also represent a tremendous a near max increase in assets.
