@BimaThug how much would House count to the luxury tax calculation if we signed him to the rest of our MLE ($3.3 MM) on the last day of the...
In theory, we could call House up on 3/24 and sign him to a two-year deal on the last day of the season. It'd only count $8k to this year's luxury...
Split tax-payer MLE between Faried and Rivers Re-sign Shump for $7-9 MM per year using bird rights Ideally, you come to a 2-year agreement with...
I think this would get us there:
We can recall him on 3/24: When the G League season ends March 24, they can rejoin
Here's a potential route we could go to add a buyout player and still be under the luxury tax:
Ariza at $15 MM. Johnson at $19 MM. Ellington at $6 MM. We'd be $20 MM+ into the luxury tax (would cost us $40 MM+ in salary plus lux tax...
We have to sign two players by 2/21 to meet min roster requirements. Based on this math, we could do the following: -Sign 1 buyout candidate...
His biggest bonus is $1 MM for making the WCF :(
@BimaThug is there a plausible way for us to use the MLE for buyout target AND get under the luxury tax (by offloading Nene and other smaller...

We didn’t trade for Luc, but let’s hope Shumpert can provide a similar impact for the rest of the year
Everything indicates that Shumpert is here to stay. Your plan could still work if we dump Nene using the 2nds you mentioned above, though we’d...
Tbh, he’s looked really sloppy and a bit slower this year. I still wouldn’t trade him, especially for that pu pu platter
He’s lost a bit of athleticism but still has plenty to attack a scrambling defense. Philly is a very talented team, but their spacing is terrible...
This offseason, Miami thought they had a team that could compete and weren't interested in a salary dump. After 50 games where many of their key...
PHX also got Wayne Ellington (buyout candidate?) MIA is very close to ducking under the luxury tax line now. Phoenix gets a passable guard in...
Gordon has been a critical piece of this team's success over the past 3 years. If Gallo can provide a similar scoring punch, I think it's well...
Gordon had a pretty worrisome injury history when we first signed him, but he was pretty healthy the first few years because we did a good job of...
If Gallo were injury free, he wouldn't be available at all. The Clips depend on Gallo to generate a lot of offense, which wears you down over...
