The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

The Celtics are trading PJ Dozier and Bol Bol, a future second and cash to the Magic for a future second-round pick, sources tell ESPN. Dozier and Bol are both out for the season. Cost-savings for Boston.

 

@PtldPlatypus you would prolly know this... or maybe @RR7 if you're around

if we buyout Bledsoe, are there any ways we can get out of the $3.9 mil he's owed next year? Wouldn't the new contract he signs with another team next year be subtracted from the 3.9?

 

It gets reduced, by some weird calculation. I'll try to look it up. It's like half the new contract, minus a percentage or amount or something.
I would imagine we'd end up stretching him once earned, which would make the hit, I think, 1.3

 

I don't think we have any contract or combo of contracts to match Simmons in a trade right now except Dame?

 

Thanks!

hate the idea of stretching, but that's one way to eek out some more capspace if we need it.

 

The stretch provision to get 3 M of room is a good idea. If there is a use for it.

 

Not a contract....but contracts. We have only dropped our current salary obligations by about $13M since this purge started. They aren't attractive contracts, but they are there. The Salary Cap space doesn't come until this summer.

 

I think they figured Pat C, Grayson Allen and DiVincenzo were somewhat redundant.

Oh wait that might be racist.

 

No its not. Thats why we have Andrew Nicholson on the cap in 2024.

The Blazers won't contend next year, take the cap hit now.

 

Neil Olshey and Andrew Nicholson say....

 

Cronin couldn’t get in on those cost savings? FML

 

Ok, the reduction is his new salary, minus league minimum, divided by 2. So if he signed somewhere for 5 million, it'd be 5 - 1.8 or whatever the minimum is, so 3.2, divided by 2. So we'd clear 1.6 of the 3.9

 

they would hurt OUR books while helping Boston only for a second rounder in return.

 

What contracts? Bledsoe Hart Ingles deals can't be aggregated. The TPE cannot be combined. Nurk deal is only $12 million. Other deals we have are only rookie contracts or minimums.

I don't see how we can trade for Simmons now unless its Dame.

 

So many dang Larry Coon’s in here. I give up.

 

Does that actually come off the cap, or is it just cash reimbursed to the team?

If it is actually off the cap, we'd probably need Bledsoe to sign a deal before using that space, which with his standings as a lower tier free agent may be unlikely.

 

not completely unsubstantial...

but i don't think there's a team that will give him 5 mil this summer.

 

Aren't the Raptors currently thought to be a team that desperately needs a C? Not trying to be flippant, but it tells you something...

 

i don't necessarily want him for us. i want him to play for my fantasy team.
