Buyout/Free Agent Thread, 2023-24

[Dogen]

I'm in the mood for some Moody.

Let's stick with the biblical theme, bringing Moses along with Xavier.

[Celts17Pride]

My gut says we’re done.

Celtics still have the full $6.2 million TPE. I doubt it.

[Celts17Pride]

Are you sure?

$1,930,681 = Tillman.
$1,836,090 = Jackson TPE.


Edit:

Yes. 2nd apron teams don't qualify according to reports.

We're not a 2nd Apron, until the New Season kicks in though, right?

I think that Brad took Tillman, cause he just fits into the Jackson TPE.
Not sure if the 2 x 2nds are/were necessary?

There are multiple reports that say Tillman cannot fit into the Jackson TPE which is why the Celtics included Stevens. Just review the last 10 pages.

Simone would be replacement minutes over Svi/Oshae/Stevens/Banton, not Hauser.

Hauser DRB% 13.0
Fontecchio DRB% 11.5

Fontecchio is a better playmaker, but not by much. Both aren't very good in this area (H 6.5 Asst%, F 8.5 Assit%)

Hauser is better at threes based on attempts per 100 possessions.

That Hauser is 2y younger means he's got a higher ceiling.

Walsh is an extremely raw player with long arms who has elite defensive skills and has shown flashes of 3pt shooting and elite playmaking skills. His development is purely mental. He'll pass up open shots to a point that it will earn him a trip to the bench. He'll have slips in his shooting mechanics that result in bricks. That his ceiling is sky high isn't a matter of opinion. He could be a stud or a bust. That said, there's no doubt that Dunn and Olynyk are as good as they're going to be.

I'm not really sure why you bothered typing all of that since this is a moot point now.

[Bill Lumbergh]

I like that Brad doesn't wait until the last minute to get his business done. Less chance of anything rash happening.

[Dogen]

My gut says we’re done.

Celtics still have the full $6.2 million TPE. I doubt it.

My gut feels nausea about leaving 6.2M on the table.

I'm jones'n for one more player, wing help, and will be content.

[Curmudgeon]

LOL, so much for the rumor mill. I didn't see a Xavier in any of the lists on this thread, not even Xavier Cugat.

[Shak_Celts]

Ok. My source says we are done as far as trades.

There are multiple reports that say Tillman cannot fit into the Jackson TPE which is why the Celtics included Stevens. Just review the last 10 pages.

I'm not buying it. -- When all is said and done, we'll see that Brad Stevens used the Jackson TPE.

The newest Celtic is on an expiring $1.9 million contract, meaning he fits into their $1.8 million Justin Jackson traded player exception (TPE). Teams can use a TPE to absorb a salary up to $100 thousand more than its value.

What is the difference?

It doesn't matter, Stevens was sent out in the trade. Celtics wanted an open roster spot

Looks like Maxey will probably be heading to Boston in a 3 team deal. Maxey fits the $6.2 milllion TPE

Yeah. It just matters, in the respect that Brad Stevens found a use for the Jackson TPE. Very Crafty.
