That's what I'm saying. The Pistons can't "give up salary without taking it back" with the Kings. Kings are already over the cap pre-Schreoder. Lavine, Sabonis, Derozan, Monk, and Murray are all already existent contracts and already account for $144M of the $154M in cap space, add in all the other small contracts they're definitely over that $154M cap. So they can't just accept Schroeder's salary in a trade. At least that's my understanding, but I might be wrong. Now if they send Monk to another team (without taking salary back), then yes, they might be able to absorb Scroeder's contract via trade, which would create a trade exception for the Pistons. But no one wants Monk.
My understanding is that they could take salary in a sign and trade because of a previously created TPE from an earlier trade.
They’d prefer to give up Monk’s salary since they have no use for him with so many other shooting guards.
Ah, you're correct! They have a ton of trade exceptions. But yeah it doesn't make sense for them to use one when currently Schroeder fits into their MLE money. Pistons would have to make it worth their while and I guess a deal couldn't be reached.
The ONLY way it makes sense is if there is someone else they want to spend that MLE on and they wish to keep that slot open. They can use their TPE for a sign and trade, but not for an outright signing.
, who out of this group would you sign with our BAE? Since other teams would only be offering vet minimum.
