If we do Kyrie at $40mm and run with 14 players and keep Reggie's guarantee and use the Full MLE at $12.4mm, we are at about $169.5. So, $2.5mm under the first apron. So, under those assumptions, I think you use the BAE or you S&T him into the TE, but not both. I believe either option hard-caps you though.
How would it work if we resigned Dwight into this calculation? Depending what player we target via trade or MLE, I would greatly prefer resigning Powell over McGee. Hopefully we can find a spot for McGee somewhere. I just trust Powell much more. Not sure if him coming back is in the cards now.
