Trade CJ McCollum to New Orleans

The wording is weird but I think the clarification is here:
https://cbabreakdown.com/salary-cap-exceptions

• Simultaneous trades — For trades of players that occur at the same time, the Traded Player Exception permits a team to take back varying amounts in salary from other teams. Note, the only time a team may aggregate two or more players’ salaries for purposes of calculating the amount of outgoing salary is when they do so in the same transaction. (And this is the only time and the only salary cap exception that can be added together.)
  
  The amount of salary a team can take back depends on how the trade’s outcome would impact its team salary — would the outcome result in the team (a) still having room (with wiggle room of up to $100,000 above the salary cap), (b) going above the cap but below the tax level (i.e., a non-taxpayer), or (c) going above the cap and the tax level (i.e., a taxpayer)? These scenarios are explained in the examples below, pulled from the NBA’s “CBA 101” primer with additional explanatory notes. Each example assumes that the traded player’s salary is protected in full.
  
  • Room Scenario —
    
    • Rule — If a team’s team salary is below the salary cap, then a traded player may be replaced in the same transaction by one or more players whose salaries together do not exceed the team’s room plus $100,000. There are two important points for this rule. First, it means that the complicated salary matching formulas described below do not apply to a team receiving a player into cap space. Second, the CBA allows teams that are below the cap to use the rules for teams over the cap (which they’d do if it works to their advantage).
      
      
    • Example — Assume (i) salary cap = $99.093 million, (ii) team salary = $90 million, and (iii) tax level = $119.266 million. A team seeks to trade a $10 million player. That team could replace that player in a simultaneous trade with one or more players making $19.193 million. ($99.093 million minus $90 million, plus $10 million, plus $100,000.)
      
  • Non-Taxpaying Scenario —
    
    • Rule — If a team’s post-trade team salary is above the salary cap but below the tax level, then a traded player may be replaced in the same transaction by one or more players whose salaries together do not exceed the greater of (i) the lesser of (A) 175% of the pre-trade salary of the traded player plus $100,000, or (B) the pre-trade salary of the traded player plus $5 million, or (ii) 125% of the pre-trade salary of the traded player plus $100,000.
      
      
    • Example (Team A, Non-Taxpayer) — Assume (i) salary cap = $99.093 million, (ii) team salary = $110 million, and (iii) tax level = $119.266 million. Team A seeks to trade a $6 million player. Team A could replace that player in a simultaneous trade with one or more players making $10.6 million. (175% x $6 million, plus $100,000.)
      
      
    • Example (Team B, Options) — Make the same assumptions as above, but this time consider the trade from Team B’s perspective. To receive that $6 million player from Team A, Team B could (i) if it’s available, absorb that salary into room, (ii) if it’s available, absorb that player into a pre-existing trade credit (see non-simultaneous examples below), (iii) send out a single player making $10.6 million or less (so that the trade still works from Team A’s perspective), or (iv) aggregate two or more players’ salaries that do not exceed $10.6 million (again so that the trade still works from Team A’s perspective too).
      
  • Taxpaying Scenario —
    
    • Rule — If a team’s post-trade team salary would exceed the tax level, then a traded player may be replaced in the same transaction by one or more players whose salaries together do not exceed 125% of the pre-trade salary of the traded player plus $100,000.
      
      
    • Example (Team A, Taxpayer) — Assume (i) salary cap = $99.093 million, (ii) team salary = $130 million, and (iii) tax level = $119.266 million. Team A seeks to trade an $8 million player. Team A could replace that player in a simultaneous trade with one or more players making $10.1 million. (125% x $8 million, plus $100,000.)
      
      
    • Example (Team B, Options) — Make the same assumptions as above, but this time consider the trade from Team B’s perspective. To receive that $8 million player from Team A, Team B could (i) if it’s available, absorb that salary into room, (ii) if it’s available, absorb that player into a pre-existing trade credit (see non-simultaneous examples below), (iii) send out a single player making $10.1 million or less (so that the trade still works from Team A’s perspective), or (iv) aggregate two or more players’ salaries that do not exceed $10.1 million (again so that the trade still works from Team A’s perspective too).

are you sure....

I think my whole understanding of TPEs has been wrong til now

 

One thing about Nance hasn't he injury majority of his career. You can talent but if your hurt majority of the time who does that help.

 

Interesting wrinkle. I did not know that.

 

We knew that before trading a 1st for him.

 

We have no one in trade that has value to get high end talent. So….

 

Funny enough this is also Nurk standing with all of his teammates.

 

Dame is demanding a record-breaking contract, 5x as much as Michael Jordan made, or he will walk. And you act like he’s playing for free.

Players who care about winning take pay cuts. Dame won’t let go of 1% of his astronomical salary.

if he cares so much about winning he sure doesn’t act like it. He hasn’t won shit.

 

A trade where both teams get value? Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming.

 

They are trading two Jeremy Lambs?

 

Woj already corrected his tweet. It's Lamb and Holiday.

 

Is one of them Jeremy Lin? I didn't think he was still in the league. Or maybe just a typo?

 

I'm pretty sure Cronin is furiously on the line with Detroit trying to figure out what we need to add to the 20M TPE to fetch Grant.

 

Let's see if I have this.

Sell Low Joe makes a trade that only makes sense if a future trade works out.
Then, he does it again.

Do we have to wait until training camp to find out what we've got?
And people question why I'm getting bored with the team?

 

Good. Let the Kings get better so we can move up a position in the lottery.

 

avatar changed.... do your magic now.

 

With the way we have been trading it wouldn't surprise me if it was the New Orleans pick we just got. Or even our potential lotto pick!
