Let's assume we don't make the finals. We waive Al, he gets 14.5 mill his guaranteed money, but then capwise we stretch it over 3 years. 4.8 mil each year for the cap.
Then you sign him for two years at 20 million, Al nets 34.5 mil over two years instead of up to 27.5 for one year, but if he was waived, most likely another team wouldn't pay him 20 million, it only makes sense for the Celtics really.
Net effect:
Al gets 24.5 mil for 2022-2023 (10 new contract +14.5 guaranteed part of old contract). Al gets 10 million in 2023-2024 fully guaranteed another year older.
For Boston despite the above, Al's cap hit would be 14.8, 14.8, 4.8... the last year is dead cap for the stretch will Al no longer here.
... seems better for both sides than a one year deal for 27.5.
Not allowed. If we stretch his dead money hit you aren't allowed to sign him for 12 months.
If we take the full dead money hit in year 1 we can' re0sign him, but that brings me back to the point that we get no meaningful savings out of it.
Bummer. I though as long as he cleared waivers we would retain his bird rights and could sign him right away? Is the waive and stretch what negates that?
Yeah stretching his is what triggers that. We have bird rights if he goes unclaimed as you say, but can’t stretch someone just to re-sign that. That’s a loophole that teams could manipulate rather easily.
