10 assists for Rozier - credit where credit is due. He definitely has better decision making when he is starting.
True.
That's why Ainge has a decision to make next week.
Given the AD news, I don't see Rozier going anywhere, as he's still a sign-and-trade possibility this summer, which could be a major part of getting AD.
Actually due to Base Year Compensation it's extremely unlikely Rozier is included in any AD deal.
What is Base Year Compensation?
If a player is going to sign a contract that is more than 20% of what they made the year before or if half of their first year salary is greater than the salary they made before then if they are signed and traded by a team over the cap then the the incoming salary for checking salary to match is their new salary but the outgoing salary is equal to to half of their new salary.
Example trade AD for Tatum, Rozier s&t at $14 million, Yabu and Williams
Pelicans trade Davis at $27.1 million so that is the Pelicans outgoing salary. That means they have to receive in salary from the Celtics a minimum salary of $21.6 million or a Max of $34 million.
So you want to include Rozier as a sign n trade but he is Base Year Compensation eligible so his salary counts as 50% outgoing but 100% incoming.
So your trade is
Tatum at $7.8 million
Rozier at $14 million incoming $7million outgoing.
Williams at $2 million
Yabusele at $3 million.
So as incoming salary the C's are at $26.8 million. They need incoming salary to be within 25%+/-$100k of that number meaning Davis' $27.1 million fits. Trade okay there.
But Rozier's outgoing only counts as $7 million so Boston's total outgoing is $19.8 million. Needing to take on salary that is at most 25% +/- $100k means Boston can take on a max salary of $24.8 million making Davis' $27.1 million way to much so trade not okay here. Trade fails.
If a third team gets involved it might get easier.
Oh, I thought that was something beyond the 100%/50% outgoing condition. So, yeah, I accounted for that by saying that we could do that if we somehow got a top-4 or top-5 pick in the lottery with the Sacramento pick.
So say we got the 4th pick and picked who NOLA wanted. At 120% of the rookie scale, which we always do, that'd be right around $6M for the rookie in the first year. We then sign him and wait 30 days to be able to include his salary in the trade. That would leave us with:
Tatum at $7.8 million
Rozier at $14 million incoming $7million outgoing.
Draft Pick at $6 million
Yabusele at $3 million
I believe that works out for us, give or take a Williams being added in there. And when you add the other picks to that deal, nobody is coming close to that offer.
Granted, as I said, this would probably require us getting a top-5 pick or so to make this work.
