Trade & FA 2023-24: Sexton On the Market? | ORL Likes Hartenstein?

[F Gump]

We should probably bring TPE's into this discussion.  Some of the list below can be used either in a June trade or a July trade and some are obviously not realistic possibilities or have trouble being legal besides the two I'll note below.

Atlanta and Brooklyn currently have TPE's large enough to take on THJ

Additionally, Memphis can take on Green on his 24/25 salary next season

Additionally, Chicago, Detroit, NY, Philly, Portland, Toronto, Utah and Washington have TPE's large enough to take on Green's number in the current season.  I haven't checked hard-caps or other reasons some of these might not work.  For instance, Miami and Phoenix also have a TPE of this size, but would not be able to use it because of their salary status.

Any team that can use their NT MLE next season can use it like a TPE and take on Green since his salary is less than the projected NT MLE.

Dallas has two TPE's ($4.95 and $4.0) it can use to facilitate a trade that isn't a salary match.
 
There are more paths available to us to reduce salary for DJJ (and possibly add an asset) than we've really explored fully in these discussions.  I'm not a fan of trading Green, but his contract amount appears to have been set in a way it could easily be traded under the new MLE rules that start this coming season.  If you do that and create the room needed for DJJ (it would need to be a bit under the NT MLE, but well more than the TP MLE according to FG's numbers), then you still have THJ's contract (and 2025) to use to add an upgrade.  We can afford two outgoing players for one returning player if that one returning player upgrades the THJ/Green minutes while also getting us the money needed to keep DJJ.

This is helpful. But there are some real issues that significantly reduce the availability of these sort of possibilities.

They all revolve around cap room, or rather the lack of it. Most teams (more than half, I believe) are going to be dealing with Apron 1 issues, which means there won't be NT MLE that can be used at all. In addition, using a TPE will exacerbate whatever payroll issues they are otherwise dealing with. And what happens in June impacts what you can do in July - if you do something in June that would have created a hard cap, that hard cap is set at that point for the whole 2024-25 season.

I posted lists a bit earlier in this thread. There should be 6 teams operating as "under the cap" teams (PHI, DET, UTA, ORL, SA, OKC). [Side note - I am very disinterested in any trade that involves OKC and helps them get better (which is the only reason they would do a trade). Just saying.]

But there will be MANY teams at the other end of the payroll scale, who will be close enough to Apron 1 (or beyond) where absorbing extra salary in a matching trade or using the NT MLE to absorb a salary like Green is ruled out.
 
The ones that are left? At a glance, I only see HOU, BKN, WAS, CHI, TOR, CHA, IND?. I didn't do a deep dive, so I might be missing a team or 2 - and some of those I listed may have internal priorities for their money that eats up their ability to do anything.

Also, a note about Green - he's poison pill until June 30, so there's not cap room for a team to take him in June. Only the 2 teams you've noted with larger TPE's (ATL, BKN) could take him in June, and ATL has issues already of too much payroll to deal with.

Also a note about DAL TPE's - "Dallas has two TPE's ($4.95 and $4.0) it can use to facilitate a trade that isn't a salary match." ... I would think these are really not in play (except in technical TPE accounting in trades), unless DJJ will do a TxMLE 1+1, because they add salary when the Mavs are in dire need of reducing it. DJJ doing a 1+1 would be huge for the Mavs roster building possibilities.
