Looks like Wall is giving up $6.5 million of salary, which is the equivalent of the taxpayer TPE, so we can presume the Clippers will sign him to such a deal.
This takes the Clippers to $26 million over the tax line at 12 players, with a reported intent to bring back Batum, who will likely get at least what Wall is, if not more. Tack on a couple of guys at the minimum, and they’re approaching $35 million over the tax line.
I posted about Amir Coffey yesterday, but I can’t imagine they’d match an offer sheet for him in the $5-6.5 million a year range, given that payroll. I’ve also been beating the Luke Kennard drum for awhile as a target for the TPE. The Clippers have a lot of quality depth, and I hope we’re able to siphon a little of that for ourselves.
