Would like to see Schoeder for Rondo, Dean Wade, Dylan Windler trade. With Windler we save about half a mil, without him, about 2.5 mil. Rondo is expiring, and the two W's both have another year left.
The W's are both HBIQ players, good passers, and "great shooters"! I watch alot of Cavs BB here in Ohio (no LP), and think these guys would really bring value and skill to our young team. Believe Cavs do it to get Schroeder as they will be deep in playoff mix this year, and for years to come!
We don't have to take any salary back, because Schroder's salary would fit entirely within their new Disabled Player Exception. I would have some interest in D. Wade, though. Gotta love that name, but he's also made 18 starts this year.
We don’t have to take salary back, but the Cavs only have a couple million in room to stay under the tax, so they may ask us to take salary on as part of the deal.
Tricky. Where are we on the tax, assuming JB doesn't make the All-Star team?
About $900k over. The Cavs will probably want to send out two players, as that would keep them under the tax and leave them with enough space to afford a buyout with an open roster spot. My vote is Rondo and Ed Davis, because those two make the minimum, aren’t owed anything next year, and the C’s could get an exception for all of Schröder’s contract. We’d save enough that we could afford to just cut Fernando.
I don't think that's exactly right. Here is what Hollinger wrote after the Junacho Trade:
"Boston is $2.7 million into the tax following this trade, but that figure includes $1.9 million in incentives for Jaylen Brown that seem unlikely to come to fruition"
I think JB has 2 incentives 1 for All-Star and 1 for games played, both are just under $1m (totaling $1.9m). He could still hit the games played and I think the team will operate as if he will hit that because sitting him to avoid the bonus if he's healthy would poison the relationship. So based on that assumption the Cs are going to operate as if they are $1.7-1.8m over the cap.
This is largely incorrect. JB does have two incentives. One is based on team performance (wins and playoff success) and also has the games played component (He has to play 63ish games and the team has to do well). The other is an All-Star game/All-NBA component. The team performance bonus is considered unlikely because of last year, and given how the season is going, is also unlikely this year. It’s a shade under $1 million. The All-Star bonus is currently considered likely, because he made the team last year, and is $1.9 million. If he misses the game, he could still get it via All-NBA, but that again is pretty unlikely given the trajectory of his and the team’s season.
If the Celtics want to be completely conservative, and make sure that they avoid the tax even if they win the title and JB is all-NBA, they’re about $3.8 million over. However, if they’re being realistic, or willing to pay the tax in such an unlikely scenario, thenJB won’t get any of his ~$2.9 million bonus, especially once all-star rosters are finalized.
EDIT: To provide additional clarity, JBs team performance incentive is tiered. He gets half if the team wins enough games (49), so the C’s would have to finish on a 24-9 stretch from this point forward, and the rest if they advance far in the playoffs (maybe even have to win the title, that target’s a little unclear to me). But he could get half of his team performance incentive and the C’s would be at $1.3 million over or so, which is still Bruno territory in terms of contracts that need to be moved.
