THJ is waiting to do a declining deal (as Omahen said).
Bullock announcing for the full MLE means we are over the cap and the $10.8mm TPE is in play (so Aminu is a go).
Maxi plus Green for White doesn’t create a TPE. Maxi by himself isn’t a trade match for White. So, it has to be Maxi plus a very small contract or Powell if you are trading for White in such a way as to create a TPE of $2.957mm by also sending Green. Does SA have space? Well, we don’t know for sure as the Forbes amount isn’t announced…(another Excel client). But, as an under the cap team, SA can’t go over with FA’s signing into space. Once they get to $112.4mm, they can create space again by sending Aminu here into our TPE…so this works. BTW, Moses can’t be aggregated yet, but he can be traded into space.
Houston sends S. Brown here for the TPE plus $100k which fits by $33k (and helps explain the odd dollar amount of his deal). So, without getting into anything involving Chicago…we have the following as the base of a deal that could certainly take on other pieces:
Dallas takes Aminu into the JRich TPE
Powell for White + Green into SA space (creates a TPE of $2.957mm)
Sign Sterling into the newly created Green TPE (plus $100k) thus preserving the BAE for next year (or someone else this summer…maybe this is why Boban isn’t signed yet)
Do the Omahen financial shuffle with THJ.
Luka/Brunson
White/Sterling
THJ/Bullock (or vis versa)
DFS/Maxi (or vis versa)
KP/WCS.
That folks is improvement and pretty good cap management going all the way back to the JRich TPE.
Why do we take back Aminu here? We should get a first for that.
