I think it will be fairly easy to send Reggie to a cap room team at his guaranteed amount of $5.4mm. They have to hit the minimum salary and Dallas can even pay the salary for them.
That expands our outgoing in the deal that closes 7/6 to $22.4mm (combo of Bertans and Reggie at $5.4mm). Add in $7.5mm and you are at $29.9mm. Take away Holmes and you are at $17.9mm (if he waives his TK). Now you are able to take in a player under contract or a S&T and the team they are leaving doesn't have to take back anything.
Obviously we can use different players or Reggie at his full salary to make this work to a different number. But I like Reggie for two reasons...1. We can make it basically free for a cap room team to take him by sending cash. 2. It creates room for a serious role for the incoming free agent.
Only problem with the Bullock angle is that I think his contract becomes fully guaranteed on the 28th of this month. At least according to Spotrac. Hopefully that's wrong and we have more flexibility
