Just a thought:
If ownership and players are p---ed at Terry:
Should we waive Rozier with the expectation that Dallas will claim him ?
Why for Boston :
TR worn his welcome here
To get under the luxury tax
To clear cap space if we somehow need it in July
Why for Dallas :
To get to the salary floor without paying a dollar to TR
To have Roziers matching rights next year
“To test the nerves of coach Carlisle lol”
Basically the idea is we avoid paying the tax and Dallas avoid paying the $$ needed to hit the salary floor. Also most Celtics fans hate Rozier so it can be sold to them easy
Waiving a player does not remove their salary from your books. His contract also expired once the season ended, so all you would be doing is getting rid of his Bird rights. And even if we could drop his salary, we would still be like $5 million over the tax line
Similarly, Dallas cannot sign him as their season is over. If they want him, they will have to wait until July 1st (just like everyone else)
Even a basic understanding of the CBA should clue you in that this isn't possible. Why would the league make it so you could skirt the tax by waiving FAs after your season is over? Why would players agree to a CBA where you can stay way below the salary floor and sign players after the year is done (so you pay them nothing) to get above it? (Yes, I know that you can pay less than the salary floor by trading for a player at the trade deadline to get below it, but this would be way worse than that)
