They can only take back ~$18 million for Ayton (BYC rules) and Crowder $10 mill for $28 million. JC and CC combined makes $41.7 Sign and trade with Ayton getting $34 plus $10 equals $44 and it works I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he's making $30 million - that full $30 million counts for Hawks and only $18 million for the Suns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example: If you are under the Luxury we would have the MLE of $10.2 million to use on one or split between two players. If we are over the tax we have the TMLE of $6.3 million to use. The biggest difference is the repeater tax issue. If you are in the Tax for consecutive seasons, it makes a big difference in the teams tax bill in future years. There's also the money you get as a franchise as a non tax payer. You GET money from the NBA in the CBA for a non tax payer. You DO NOT get money from the NBA if you are a tax player. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, all the money from the tax paying teams goes to the NBA then 50% of it is distributed to all of the non taxpaying teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In now way am I saying what he did was acceptable, but everyone is entitled to a second chance. It would take a huge set of balls to pull it off knowing he is going to miss at least half the season. He would have to be willing to grow as an individual and work on his tainted image No way in hell. He's not that good of a player and the Hawks aren't that desperate. And in ATLANTA, a city with tons of women in power, that would be a horrible look for the Hawks franchise. Let Miles be someone else's redemption story. Because if any of what he did is remotely true, the league is going to end up suspending him anyway. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suns just like Jock. A. Luxury tax reasons. We are over 280k over the LT with even a minimum rookie signing. With this trade, what Jock would get is 1.5 while two rookie minimums get 1.9 combined. With Jock and a rookie minimum, 1.5 + 953k is 2.5 million. Meaning with two players puts you over by 280k. Now with two rookie minimums, we are under the LT by 320k. Atlanta could after March can sign Coop and still stay under the LT. B. They only have one center on contract till this move. Likely Landale stays C. Trying D. Probably that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defense has been solid in this end of the bench guy stage of his career. Also he seems to be a cool guy in the locker room, has had so much experience, might be worth it as our honorary Solomon Hill type signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you're close, you probably can finagle things at the trade deadline to dip under whatever number it is that you want to dip under. I'll be surprised, honestly, if we're not a tax team at least at the lowest threshold since Ressler essentially walked back what he said last off-season. I believe there's going to be one more significant if not major addition to this team yet. There's a significant absence of viable low post options--two openings conventionally speaking with Landale going out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 My biggest concern right now is that Trae may get what he wants again and the hawks trade for Simmons. If Simmons is healthy then this may not be as big of concern but still a concern for me. I’m not worried about his mental state as much as I’m worried about the fit and spacing. Can’t play Simmons with Collins or Capela for various reasons I shouldn’t have to mention why. At this point Collins shouldn’t be on the trade block in my opinion. I understood it in the beginning because the team was trying to improve but With Murray’s arrival and the fact that we kept JC which I didn’t think was possible before I knew the spurs were tanking on purpose….I say we just keep what we have. ON THE FLIP SIDE…. we are living in an era where it’s a copy cat league and the NBA Champions Golden State Warriors just won a title with 2 non big man shooters getting majority minutes in Draymond and Looney. while I’m not comparing or suggesting anything I do believe schlenk tries to follow the warriors blueprint to a championship as much as possible regardless of what anyone says or think. Defensively Simmons and Capela would be absolutely great! Offensively it would be terrible spacing. Collins gives you good offense and defense he’s honestly the perfect fit at the 4 with the addition of Murray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
