Trey Murphy fits TPE. Finacial implications?

[KG Living Legend]

 So theoretically , we could keep derek white, and offer a combination of Hugo, Hauser, Pritchard which i believe the Pelicans can absorb,  plus two or three firsts if we want to make a serious offer for Murphy.

 My question is how would this effect the Apron this year and next if we keep the core together.

 It shouldn't effect it if Cs are letting Vuc go and the cap goes up.

Edit:Actually just looked he doesn't fit in TPE if his 2026 salary is counted. So not sure if they can trade for him without it being a match anyways.

Your trade would keep the Celtics below the apron and tax this year.  If the Celtics only sent Hauser and picks, they would be above the tax but remain below the apron.  (Not saying Pels would go for that, just saying how not difficult it is to afford him).

I do not think Murphy will actually be moved, but he is absolutely my #1A target.

Would love to have Murphy if they address the issue at big. Queta is just a second center type of guy.

Now a line up of Tatum, White, Brown, Murphy and a center the sign would be a great starting 5.

Bench would take a hit.

You are incorrect.  The TPE is $27.7 million, and Murphy makes $27 million next year.  To make salaries work they would only need to move Hauser or Pritchard because Murphy would take them about $3 million over the apron.
