What would be the salary total of all that (without Powell), assuming Smith gets the full MLE?
Didn’t forget. You have to actually read the post where it says…”You end up with one too many players plus your pick (which can always be a Euro-stash)”.
But, that isn’t why I’m responding. You used the words “full MLE”. Is your thought that we will work to get below the apron to use the full MLE and then resign Brunson and be hard-capped? The trade I outlined saves $7.2mm (THJ/Brown/Chriss for Holmes/Holiday). Add in the pick and Brunson cap hold and you are at $150mm give or take.
Or, are you hoping that by trading Powell it gets us far enough under that we aren’t hard capped? Trading Powell would get us $16mm under, but no one is taking Powell without compensation. Sending out Green also? 26 for 32 swap (trying to think of why would have use for one year of Powell…maybe an old coach wanting a good locker room guy to show his prized rookie the ropes)?
