I wonder if Brooklyn would do a sign and trade for irving a pick for just the tpe?
I liked this idea better a month or so ago when I thought we would get a TPE big enough for someone like Conley, but I'm not sure who is available that would really be worth paying ~$20M/yr. The problem with TPEs is you can't combine them with other players/salary.
It's a shame the NBA doesn't address the mess left behind when a star leaves a franchise (either an auto-TPE or draft compensation like other sports), but it seems we may just be one of the casualties this year. It happens all the time around the league.
I wouldnt need to be a pg.
It could be used on a center as well.
And it could be used as part ofba sign and trade. So theoretically the tpe plus a future or unsigned pick could be traded for a new signing.
For example if Orlando doesnt wamt to resign vucevic we could, in theory, work out a sign and trade with them for vooch at the cost of a pick.
They renounce the tpe amd they lose no capspace but gain a pick in the process.
Gasol
Bryant
Jonas
Vooch
Brogdon
Rubio
Beverly
