thanks for sharing...didn't the Cs use most of the Brandon Wright TPE to acquire Jerekbo though?

Good catch! Typo on the Wright one. I had it correct in my math.
Thanks!

Good catch! Forgot to update the Rivers and Wright TPEs. They were both partially used to get Datome and Jerebko.
Thanks!
cheers, appreciate all the work you do putting these together.

Mind working me through how you see that playing out?
I'm lazy eyeballing it right now, but it looks like Boston can use the TPE's and bring on 21m in contracts with the highest salary only 13m and relying on trade or sign and trades that hard cap the team (Using the ~13 and ~8TPE's as the rest don't matter).
In contrast the team could have roughly 20m in open cap space without the TPE restrictions just cutting the cap holds, while keeping the holds of 16, 28 and Crowder.
I get that the bigger MLE is more attractive than getting stuck with the under-over one, but I don't see it playing out that what Boston wants to do fits all into TPE sign and trades and not targeting anyone for more than 13m at all.
My guess is the team tries to use the TPE's until July 1st, and then switches to an under the cap team for the added flexibility.

We are pretty much on the same page. I think it stretches through the moratorium that they will try to use the TPEs. Then once/if they need Cap space, they will dump the TPEs and Cap Holds. My projection is just where I think they start things off. I don't think they will immediately renounce their FAs and dump their exceptions. I think they will look to use what they can and then dump everything else after.
My main reasoning is that Ainge brings up the TPEs quite a bit in different conversations. And he obviously angled to have them. I think that signals that he intends to use them if he can.
The point about flexibility is the key. The Celtics are in position to go either way. I do think, barring some team hitting him with an offer, Crowder will sit for a while. The Celtics definitely want him back, but he has such a low Cap Hold, there is no rush to sign him. Unless their hand is forced of course.

So, expect Philly to offer him decent money early?
In terms of switching course -- starting an over the cap TPE team and going to an under the cap cap space team -- I know that you can rescind rescinding cap holds if, 1) You target a restricted free agent and 2) The team matches. While this makes sense to consider for Boston, as targeting the guys like Middleton/Butler/etc are some of teh bigger fish this year, I hadn't ever considered this before but wanted to check...
Lets say Boston does that. They drop Bass/Jerebko etc's cap holds, offer on Middleton, and get matched. They can then reclaim those cap hits and be an over the cap team again. But, do they get back the TPE's and the MLE that were lost? I haven't seen anything to suggest they would, which in this case would entirely negate Boston's benefits of reclaiming the cap holds (Sorry Bass fans).

Really good question. I'll do some research. My guess is that they would not get the Exceptions back. I think once they are gone, they are gone. Also, if the renouncing of the FAs took them under the Cap, they can't then rescind the renouncements and go back over the Cap. From the FAQ:
Only in one specific circumstance -- when they renounce one or more of their players in order to create enough cap room to sign another team's restricted free agent, but the restricted free agent's original team matches the offer sheet and keeps him. If that happens, the team can rescind the renouncement.
However, a team can't rescind a renouncement if doing so takes them from below the salary cap to above it; or if they are already above the cap and rescinding the renouncement takes them farther above the cap than they were before the renouncement. This closes a loophole -- it prevents a team from rescinding a player in order to make an offer, then if the offer isn't accepted using the resulting cap space to sign another free agent, before rescinding the renouncement to get back the renounced player's Bird rights.
So, I don't think that option would really be there. I do think if they really wanted one of the RFAs, they would just drop below the Cap and go for it.

Well that answers that, and limits that provision in general. Thanks!
