The low-key headliner to me is the Clippers having interest in a S&T for Ball. They're hard capped by a pretty good margin and can't legally engage in a S&T deal without shedding significant salary. I wonder if that's just bluster or if there's more worry about Kawhi leaving than they're letting on.
I thought that was interesting also. Is there a deal to be had if Kawhi picks Miami and the Heat send some stuff to NO while NO sends Ball to LAC? Take $36mm off of $148mm and add back $20mm? Are you far enough below the line that you don’t mind being hard capped for a year?
It doesn’t all have to trade match if Kawhi goes partially into cap space. Maybe Miami generates enough space that LAC can use a TPE to take in Ball? NO could still take back something from Miami, but doesn’t have to take a ton of salary.
