NBA: Brogdon to Pacers

[Kawhitstorm]

They would have been $9 million under the luxury tax if they signed Middleton, Lopez, and Brogdon and let Hill walk.

WRONG!

They are currently 2 mill under the tax but if you swap Hill/Robin Lopez's contract (14mill) for Brogdon's (21mill) then they would 5mill into the luxury tax without a replacement for Mirotic/Hill.

Luxury tax is what, $139M?

Greek Freak $25.8M
Middleton ~$32M
Brogdon ~$20M
Lopez ~$12M
Bledsoe $15.6M
Leuer $9.5M
Ilyasova $7M
Wilson $3M
Divencenzo $2.9M
Hawes $2.0M
Connaughton $1.7M

Comes out to $131.5M. Did Hill have a partial guarantee on that $18M before they waived him to get out of that contract? Why would you even need a Hill replacement if you keep Brogdon and are stuck with Bledsoe?

Larry Sanders + Hill have dead salaries (~3mill). As far as Hill, he was playing over Bledsoe in the playoffs so they DO need him especially with Brogdon's injury history.
