So what will Danny have to offer now? Al is gone. He did the sign and trade with Rozier - over the Cap still? Under? Do we have the full MLe?
If no MLE we just have the 4.8 room exception?
John Karalis on Masslive writes that they will have the MLE.
We need to see what the other moving pieces are.
Rozier counts as roughly $9 million outgoing.
Kemba counts as $32 million incoming.
Even if we combine the $9 million + Baynes $6 million, we're nowhere close to the roughly $25 - $26 million we'd have to send out.
Now, there is a caveat that BYC only applies if a trade will leave a team over the cap after the trade. So, it's possible that the Celtics could renounce all their free agents and exceptions, and get under the cap. Under those circumstances, the trade is a lot closer to working financially.
Under those circumstances, though, we'd lose the full MLE and any Bird rights we had, which makes it kind of pointless?
I can't figure out a way a large trade exception gets created, either.
