Well you’re missing that they don’t have guys like white or rob or Horford or brogdon under reasonable contracts; it’s all stars or minimum. You’re missing that because of this roster construction they’re extremely shallow. You’re maybe missing that because of this roster construction the 2nd apron doesn’t matter as much to them as they’ve bargained away any flexibility they might have anyway.
Spending into the 2nd apron essentially locks you j to your roster. It gets extremely hard to make trades and just bring in new players. Best you can do is keep your own but the suns have 0 assets to which they can make trades anyway. The Celtics oth have a lot of ability to make roster moves over the next season and to adjust the current roster; spending into 2nd apron hampers that a lot.
And lastly they’re not signing everyone; it’s literally all minimums
Of course their signings have been minimums but isn't that still counting even if it's 2-4m? I know we have all the smaller contracts but it seems like their 4 will equal nearly the same amount of money our entire team makes for this and next season(?). Not including the jays, it feels like KD's money can pay for everyone else on our team alone... I know I'm probably exaggerating by a mile, but I know KD and maybe half of Beal could probably get close. I definitely don't know any numbers just thinking about how large max is already.
Their stars cost a little less than
Tatum/Brown/Zinger/White/Brogs/Al/Rob combined.
Having said that, they are above the 2nd apron so they can only sign vet mins from here on out. There is no hard cap but they are completely hamstrung to make basically any other move.
They have two TPEs in the 5-6.5M range and second rounders they can use in a trade. But yeah, in terms of signings, it's all vet minimum for them.
