TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[F Gump]

.... Indy can't take on any additional salary before the new season.  They are right up against the tax line for 21/22.  It can be done after the draft if Indy takes back less salary.  If Indy is taking back extra salary, it will have to be completed after the moratorium.  

At the right price, I think Turner makes sense. If he's walking in a year, there would be some urgency on Indy, and he could probably navigate his way to a preferred place if he would ONLY extend with X but not with A, B. C D, or E.

The Mavs could easily cobble together a "Pick plus Expiring" package, as needed. 

Are you sure this is a June limitation on Indy?

If you are thinking they are in peril of triggering tax, AFAIK the general rule is that tax is calculated based on season's end in April with some minor alterations later. (You might have some bonuses earned from the post-season results. And trade bonuses on June trades would be added to the calculation, but not seeing any mention that MT has one).

Or are they operating with a hard cap? From what I am reading, the Pacers aren't hard capped, but that could be wrong. However, they are a good ways from that limit.
