    Would likely be a bigger potential add than any offseason signing tbh.

    Wizards/Pacers options make sense.

    Lmaooo we can give him back to the spurs if we attach our picks

  3. Maybe I’m misunderstanding the rules, but this doesn’t seem to be how the CBA rules work regarding trading partially guaranteed contracts.

    >Complicating matters further is that a team can’t simply circumvent the new rules by trading a player before a league year ends on June 30, then having his new team waive him when his non-guaranteed salary goes into effect on July 1. After the end of the regular season, a player’s outgoing salary for trade purposes is the lesser of his current-year salary and the guaranteed portion of his salary for the following season.

    >Here’s a practical example: Darren Collison‘s deal with the Pacers featured a fully guaranteed $10MM this season, with only $2MM of $10MM guaranteed for 2018/19. Once the regular season ends this year, Collison would only count for $2MM in outgoing salary for trade purposes.

    So in this case, if I’m interpreting the rules correctly, Thad’s contract should only count for $1m in outgoing salary, meaning none of these trades are possible as we’d be taking back far more money than we’re allowed

    Edit: here’s Spotrac saying the same thing: https://www.spotrac.com/news/projecting-2022-nba-non-guaranteed-contracts-1508/

  4. Well, a team who would want him would want to trade us a bad salary, so we’d need a pick or two at least. But then it can get more interesting. Thad + OPJ+Malachi is $18.2M sent out, but the team can immediately cut Thad and they only pay out $11.2M.

    There are a lot of teams that are in cap hell. Do the Warriors want to save whatever the luxury tax on $7M is? Maybe Kuminga is the price of that. There are a lot of teams in cap hell who 7M saves them a lot more than just $7M. I think the Warriors pay $4.25 for every dollar over the cap, so this saves them $29.75M. Clippers are now repeaters, so same for them.

    If he wasn’t worth 8m, I would say keep him as a vet presence, and he plays smart basketball.
