It's all hands on deck for 21-22 to win a championship. Give me a vet in every cell of the 3rd column of the depth chart grid if I can get it. If the kid earns his way on to the 15-man at some point, great. But let him earn it. Maybe he will. But it's a viable question. Not everyone comes into the NBA w/o a reliable shot, and develops enough of one to stick. It's a terrible route. His 3rd year max is 4/60. His 4th year max is massive. It's like JC money. The cheaper the max, the better. NO got a 1st round pick for Graham but for Ball, NO got a 2nd rounder. Cheaper max, more easy to retain.

It worked out in MIA. It can work out here.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His value to getting him good enough to make another team want him as a starter, get a 1st for him. That's elite asset management. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JeffS17 Posted August 4, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Need help! I'm trying to understand Trae's extension. Spotrac has it listed as a $172.5M deal. I understand the first year, $29.75M is exactly 25% of the 2022-2023 cap, $119M. But my understanding is on rookie max extenstions Trae would be getting 8% increases every year after that which would look like this: Year 1: $29.8M Year 2: $32.1M Year 3: $34.7M (this is where we start deviating) Year 4: $37.5M Year 5: $40.5M But Spotrac has this estimated (below): where am I off? I have the total at $174.5M but they show $172.5M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Sportrac is just working off a cap estimate so results may vary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of the new league during FAcy, it was reported that the projections jumped by $5 mil to $119 mil. Trae's deal starts at 25% of $119 mil plus 8% raises each year. So the $168 was based on $115, the $172 based on $119. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But their subsequent years aren't increasing by 8%. I know there aren't huge differences here but moreso trying to make sure my math is right...

thecampster Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 A side note here. We are not hamstrung to a vet min or 5.9 MLE if we resign Lou. Lou is ours and we can use whatever we want to retain him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecampster Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 That felt a lot like when you 4 year old asks you, "Dad, how many stars are in the sky" and you could put it out there but decide to say more than a million hoping he'll be quiet and go back to sleep. Giving the correct answer will just lead to 87 more questions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JeffS17 Posted August 4, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Alright, been looking at this for a minute... I don't really see how we retain Heurter for the 2022-2023 season without going into the tax, unless we dump someone like Gallo for a TPE. We still need 5 more roster spots and have around $11M to fill them for that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted August 4, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Here's one scenario that incorporates Huerter @ $15m, and has Collins at $25m. (Mind you, this is from a few weeks ago.) Importantly, Gallo's guarantee is only $5m. And, the thresholds are going to be higher evidently. We'll likely be in the taxpayer bracket. But it's expected that our contender status will justify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the projected cap increase LT will also increase from $140 to maybe 145.ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JeffS17 Posted August 4, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Whoops, I forgot Gallo isn't guaranteed... that's the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 So, with the signing of Lou Williams at $5 million, we are basically at $130 million (below the luxury tax line) with one open roster spot and a pair of two-way contracts (Skylar Mays and Shariffe Cooper).
