I actually think things would have been substantially different. Reportedly we offered Pat Bev the taxpayer MLE of $5 million (maybe a couple hundred thousand under it if we were short on space). If he had accepted that, we would have been hard-capped at the second apron. Currently we’re about $5.5 million over, and swapping out Beverley for Svi, for example, would mean that we would have had to send out roughly $8.5 million more in the trade to get Jrue (or in a separate deal to allow that to go through). That means we’d probably have sent out both Pritchard and Horford to make all the dollars work, or sent out White and Brogdan. So either the Jrue deal wouldn’t have happened or we’d have had a very different team with Jrue.
So thanks, Beverley, for turning us down!
