Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

Vet Min is much lower than this for Tarik as he would be Year 0, so about $1.36mm. Something a little over $3.0mm would explain the $2.0mm discrepancy we heard about.

If it comes from the BAE, we not only would still have the full MLE, but we'd be about $16.4mm under the tax and able to use it.

It was reported from the Turkish outlet that he was making $1.4m with Fenerbahce. We know he owes $1.1m of his own money to pay the $2m buyout. So, he nets ~+$500k to come over here in year 1. ~+$1.6m in year two, if the option is exercised. Much lower than we were thinking. Again, the theme of the off-season.

At $3m/yr instead of $7m/yr, it does tell me he's probably closer to an end of bench guy though. With the potential for more, obviously.
