Wolves must be sending out some of their crummy wings.

Nothing that’s worth it. He’s one of the worst corner three point shooters in the league, and he can’t defend.

And if we get him, I’d convince myself that he can actually shoot.

It’s not a well see thing my man lol, it wasn’t used, that’s why Lamar went. It’s done, everybody has already acknowledged it.

Nope.
I believe that he used it.

Bey? = He fits into the Grant TPE. Saves some money.

He didn’t lmao. Krivitsky got shown that he’s wrong, and you’re just showing tweets from randoms on the others.

I don’t know why you’re arguing something that is already done and acknowledged. Why do you think the Celtics sent Stevens?

My position is that Brad could have, and in fact did, use the Jackson TPE.
And I'm sticking to it. :lol:

Since a TPE can't be combined with a player, and we sent out Stevens, was the small TPE really used?

If we did use the small TPE, why is Stevens being sent out? Also, can a TPE be combined with the two 2nd round picks that we sent away?

The tweeting about this trade has been a mess.

You can’t combine a TPE with a player, so sending out Lamar makes this impossible. It was reported as part of a TPE before it was known that Stevens was included in the deal. Basically Memphis did us a solid so we could keep an open roster spot

Bey's numbers..

Catch and shoot 3's
23-24 reg season: 31.5% (it was 37.1% on 1/1/24, so it's been a slump for the past month now..will likely get back on track..or not?)
22-23 playoffs: 42.9%
22-23 reg season: 38.2%
21-22 reg season: 38%
20-21 reg season: 40.2%

Defensively, he's not great but I don't think he's terrible either.

Watch on YouTube

He is pretty good at driving to the basket and finishing at the rim. Has some strength, plays with some physicality/toughness.

Wouldn't hate it if we picked him up for cheap, with the TPE.

I think Bey, Walker, Konchar and Kispert are all decent options..

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.

Read on Twitter

What is the difference?

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

If he was received into the tpe, and then stevens was traded, we would now have a 2 million dollar tpe.

Memphis did a solid yes but they also really need players right now

Tillman into the tpe on our end.

Then stevens and picks into their tpe

We now have a 2 mill tpe and a new player.

Makes sense

It looks like there were several options available, and still may be, if it's not officially done until tomorrow.

1. Lamar goes Out
2. 2 x 2nds go Out.
3. Jackson TPE gets used.

As far as I know, you can do all three.
Since the TPE is in fact available, I don't see why Brad wouldn't use it. It's too much of a coincidence.

Could be 2 trades.

They have 2 tpes.

Bey or Burks?

playa-hater wrote:My gut says Delon Wright..for filler and picks..

What would the trade package look like?

I just tried Brissett/Banton/Svi/Walsh for Wright in the trade machine and it doesn't work..Wright makes too much $.

Only way I can see us getting Wright is if we trade Pritchard.

And I don't really see that happening. but I guess you never know, perhaps Brad/Joe are scared Pritchard will get abused on D and won't provide enough value on offense if his shots aren't falling (he only shot 21% from 3 in the NBA finals).

But at the same time, Pritchard has a 4 year extension that kicks in next season..Wright is on an expiring contract..I don't see it happening..

I think the most likely scenario is we scoop up a wing (like Konchar, Bey, Walker or Kispert) with the TPE and that way we don't have to send out any players (or perhaps we just send out 1 of them, like Svi or Banton).

Bey fits into the Grant TPE.
Burks is like $10.5M this year.

If a TPE was so small that no one could see when it was used, did the TPE even exist?

Funny how Himmelsbach said Cs are looking for injury insurance then Brad went ahead and traded for a currently injured player. Keep playing checkers, rest of the league.

BTW, the Quetarians must be bummed about this news. It's now less likely he gets converted to a regular contract with the added big man depth.
