Why can't Siakam/DJ be added to the existing trade?  Since it's not final?

Hmmm....I suppose that's possible (unless paperwork submitted to league).  Let me have a think on this.

You might be able to.

Work on it and post it!

Is it because the Raptors have to take back matching salary?  Jazz had cap space to create the TPE to send to us but the Raps are over the salary cap, so I assume they need to take back close to the $38M?

Over the tax - 125% of the outgoing salary + $100,000

Under the tax:

 

Outgoing Salary	Incoming Salary Allowed
$0 - $6,533,333	175% of the outgoing salary, plus $100,000
$6,533,334 - $19.6 million	Outgoing salary + $5,000,000
>$19.6 million	125% of the outgoing salary + $100,000

 

@bleachkit @JeffS17 @thecampster

Also if this general rule is still in CBA....then we can take back $23 mil for DJM, $11 mil for Gay (when eligible to be added) and Mathews $3.5 mil.....that totals $37.5 million. 

Or it's $18+$6.4+$2 = $26.4 × 125% = $33 mill....so still close.

But why would the Raps? We can meet the matching salary threshold but they'll need additional assets.

Why is Kyrie still here?  Somebody make it make sense.

Who? 

[RedDawg#8]

Im not opposed to moving Bufkin since DJM is our backup PG, but losing both DJM and Bufkin really sets us back in the need for players who can create shots for themselves and others strategy.

Oh well, I will just sit back and reserve my opinion until something official happens.

I should make an account on Knicksquawk and just constantly complain about everything the team does.  And, if anyone pushes back, I'll go "Bwah, thas why dey ain't had a championship since duh 70's".

But, know why I won't do that?  Because that doesn't sound enjoyable at all.  It kinda sounds like a waste of my time, right?

Didn't they just sign former Hawk PG?  Dennis S. ?  If so, they don't really need DJM & Bufkin both.

I still say the Hawks have no intention to move DJM, and I'll be very surprised if they did.  He's everything they want as a culture setter as they try to bring back the Spurs culture they left behind in 2018.

The only issue is do they feel comfortable giving him a max?

I think there are a variety of reasons they won't move him but i'm also guessing we may lose him for nothing.  I hope i'm wrong.  

The sooner we get back to Trae being the primary facilitator the better we will be.  DJM may still work with the right offense but the offense has to start with Trae not that taking turns stuff we saw last year. 

[ShooterSays]

If the Mavs still covet Capela, a 3 team trade would work there.

We have a much better and smarter head coach now, and we have a much better coaching staff as a whole.

No, thank you.  Mavericks are making out too well.  THJ doesn’t have Capela value.  The distant protected 1st doesn’t bridge the gap.
