Boston Receives:
Terrence Ross
Magic Receives:
Dennis Schroder
2nd round pick
Thompson TPE
We will receive a much needed scoring off the bench for 2 years while Magic have more chance to roll the dice for 2nd round and get a much needed PG depth
This isn’t how TPE’s work.
Danny still had to send Teague in the Fournier transaction. If the Thompson TPE won't do, we can use the Fournier TPE if the push comes to shove.
No. You can’t add a TPE to other players to match salary.
From the Fournier trade
The Orlando Magic have completed a trade that sends guard Evan Fournier to the Boston Celtics in exchange for two second-round picks and Jeff Teague, whom the Magic said will not report to the team and subsequently creates a $17 million trade exception.
I don't know how Danny pulled it out but Teague was included in that package with the Hayward TPE. Fournier TPE is around 17m. Terrence Ross is around 12.5m. Celtics accept more package separated from the TPE to match Schroder's salary
Jeff Trague was on a minimum salary and as such, his salary doesn't have to count for salary matching purposes.
So Fournier was traded into the TPE the Celtics had from Hayward and Boston sent Trague and the 2nd rounders. Remember, a player needs to have his whole salary fit into a TPE in order to use the TPE in a deal.
So Orlando got A TPE that was the size of Fournier's contract, Teague, who because his salary was a minimum salary didn't need to be matched and 2 2nds. Boston got Fournier, so all salary matching was legal.
