That would be a tricky trade to pull off. Mitchell is in the same situation as JK, subject to the same BYC restrictions in an S&T. While the Warriors would count $10M (using your numbers) going out and 21M coming back (2 players), Miami would count 13M going out and 20M coming in. Both teams would be hard-capped at the 1st apron also. Could be done, of course, but would probably need more players and another team involved.
We have the full MLE. We should just offer that to Mitchell. Doubt anyone else would offer him more except for Miami. Nets are not planning to pursue Kuminga so I think we should just give JK the $8m QO.
Ya, there is a scenario we could use full MLE on Mitchell, which i’d be fine with. I just assume the Heat will match that, so my theory is that getting creative with S&Ts get both teams something out of the deal that they want, while we avoid having the heat just match.
Staying below the 1st apron while using the NTMLE seems very difficult. Next year, we have Steph/Dray/Jimmy at 140M while the first apron is at 196. Even if we bring back JK on the QO, if we keep podz, moody, and buddy we would be at 171M for 7 players.
Obviously if we trade Dray all bets are off. I we let JK walk for nothing (or trade him for future draft assets), we would get pretty close.
