So this likely means Oladipo and Tucker are gone.
I dont know about you guys but if we can add Barnes for essentially the same outgoing price via trade of Robinson, Jovic and a FRP but still be able to retain PJ, Dipo and possibly Martin I feel that needs to be explored first.
The plan has always been to operate as over the cap team signing Tucker with Early bird. Not sure what Collins trade would have to do with this if we are sending out Duncan and possibly another few small contracts.We would have access to the tax payer midlevel of 7 million which some part of that goes to Martin. Oladipo is under bird rights.
Basically if we traded for Collins I'd imagine we'd be taking roughly 4.3mil back so we dont have to also include Yurt, Strus or Vincent. Which would mean we can't pay Tucker more than 8.4mil starting and would only have roughly what I originally thought was 6-7mil under the luxury tax to resign Dipo, but they are talking about the luxury tax line being 150.2mil and not projected 149mil i was working with so could be something more like 7-8mil for Dipo which still would likely be under his asking price.
So unless we are going over the tax line to retain Dipo then not sure how the money would work.
I imagine we are trying to work an Oladipo S&T as some reported and letting Tucker walk if we are adding Collins.
