ftp://How do you sign Beal as a FA? Team might be over the cap *before* signing his deal, and signing Beal would definitely take us over so it could happen.
The other trades I’m also down on, but I won’t get into that; the Beal trade is the most important piece of this plan.
I am not a cap expert but stop me if I am wrong :
_ with this scenario we go to FA with only Tatum, Simmons, Thybulle, Timelord, Nesmith and maybe one or two of GrantW, PP, the top 15 pick and Langford.If you count just the 5the first contracts we would have 82 Millions, so 37M under the max
_ the timeline would be very hard as we have to find takers for all our vets before this TD and find a team for Horford who take Horford during draft trade period. Then we ould have to sign Beal in the first day of FA and then complete with MLE and TPE. It is a difficult but not impossible scenario, stop me if I am wrong. Maybe even Beal could accept a little discount to try to win champs with his friends, with his down years, the few teams who have enough spac. Maybe he could accept something which begin in the 32M a year area and we still could keep both Nesmith, GWill and PP (or Nesmith + our 1st)
_ the other advantage is that we could test the fit and value of Nesmith,PP,Langford,GWill and Ingles (and Rubio legs) before then end of the year... And half tank until the end of the year. If by luck we get a top 3 pick, then cut all the young guys and just keep the pick and the 4 mens core.
For the Brown trade it was working with PP + Brown. We can also give Langford.
The biggest problem is that we almost have to know that Beal accept and how much he takes, which is not allowed I guess. Not sure also if Cavs give a 1st for Josh and Schroeder but it is a long way they didn't compete like this year and Josh is a correct 2 years contract for a good role player.
