Boston gets out of the tax on draft night with DET/CHI/ORL/Utah

[165bows]

Ok here it is:

Boston trades KP and Tillman
gets Goga and Caleb Houston and out of the tax for 2025

Det trades Beef Stew and Fontecchio
Gets KP and Dalen Terry and gets front court scoring and shooting from KP on an expiring deal

Chicago trades Dalen Terry
Gets Fontecchio mainly to help out my trade but I assume they get greased with some draft modest picks that I won't spell out in detail

Orlando trades Goga and Houston
Gets Beef Stew and a better front court defender for the playoffs and might need some extra picks if Howard has value I heard was trending poorly but idk really at all and might be off on that

Utah gets Jett Howard and Xavier Tillman into TPEs to take a flier on a young player that hasn't shown much yet.


Just curious on the feasibility here mainly on the cap/CBA aspects if these are terrible. The values aren't perfect but there are some decent fits there for a bunch of teams. Plus I pioneered adding the rationale into the trade which is as they say

I could see Utah taking those contracts in the context of a larger deal where they're getting some value, but on their own I doubt it. With four Jazz draft picks this year there aren't available roster spots and I still have far more confidence that Cody Williams will turn into a useful player than Howard or Tillman. (I'm not holding my breath.)

Horrible for Detroit. KP is a neutral contract at best. I wouldn’t trade Stewart for him straight up. How about Fontecchio and Sassar?

Man, I don't see how you acquire KP at present. This post-viral medical condition he is dealing with has persisted for several months. I mean Brad Stevens can get up and say, "we think KP will be all better in a couple of weeks," but until KP is feeling good and looking good on the court for at least a few weeks, how do you trade for him??

Same way Boston did, he’s a high risk high reward guy they were able to get for not a ton of cost since he was capable of being a FA. Exactly the same now due to $.

He’s been an All-Star in the past and has shown he’s capable of that level of play though not sustaining it. Stewart’s a spot starter/bench player currently.

Not saying Detroit fans have to want to make the switch they don’t but it’s not some crazy thing. He’s a much better player who in a bad year put up 19/7/2 on 61.8TS%
