    I wonder how much the TE is for?
    $27.9M which is the largest in league history

    They will cut him rather than pay the tax. Only a matter of time.

    They can sign multiple players with it right? They just can’t aggregate with other TEs they may have to get a bigger figure (I believe I read they had a 5M one also). Not that they need to aggregate, that’s huge!

    So Boston’s options are:

    1. Absorb player(s) now-ish to make a playoff push, moving a small asset out

    2. Absorb dead salary in exchange for assets from other teams

    3. Wait for next years draft to use it opportunistically around then

    I dont think their goal would be to use it to get multiple players. Their roster is really full.

    If they want to avoid paying the tax ( barring other trades ), they can't use the whole TE, but about $15-16 mil from it. I think they'll look for a wing that might fit, otherwise keep the TE for the time being, maybe looking for someone around the trade deadline.

    Not sure about waiting for next season, as they already have a lot of salaries committed with Tatum's extension kicking in.

    LMA for something like Theis (last year contract) , R. Williams (barely playing for them) plus in case contracts like Grant Williams or Ojeleje for avoiding for them lux tax purposes and one or 2 of their 21 first draft picks? Seems win win...

    Obviously Kawhi is a supreme talent....borderline MVP when he is actually healthy and chooses to be on the court.

    But I am not at all surprised that Pop and the rest of the team got tired of this .

    There is also further vindication in the fact that he is still struggling with the tendinopathy (which the Spurs properly diagnosed) nearly three years later. Spurs didn't want to give the super max to a guy who is only going to play 50 games and may not survive a long playoff run when you don't have the option to manage your load.

    Kawhi even had the benefit of sitting out 5 months before the playoffs, and was still hobbled by Game 7 of the WCSF.

    And the Kawhi krew got angry when Pop said Nephew was not a leader.

    We are for sure not trading this guy, lmao. Makes sense tbh... He'll probably take a nice paycut, having gotten the bag in advance, and retire in a few years to stay with the FO. Can't say I'm too mad about it, as long as we keep on the Bubble scheme of not giving him playing time whatsoever.

    Agree. They may not use it but it was worth it. And they can send out money (or look for a player in range you mentioned)

    Houston has agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to Washington for John Wall and a first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

    Seems like a fair swap, though if I’m WAS that pick better have protections.

    It does.



    Pretty much a meaningless pick

    Yeah, that's one way to get rid of a terrible contract: take on a different one.

    The Wiz still have a reason to tank for 6 years. Here's to them putting up 140-135 losses that are a fun to watch.

    And the Beal trade demand clock just started ticking...

    Wall gets traded but Spurs can’t get a trade for LMA or DDR? Wall was untradable.

    You're assuming the Spurs are legitimately trying to trade them tbh

    Serioiusly doubt they are, or were. I can't imagine them seeing how to improve the team by taking on longer term contracts for younger, worse players. The plan is more likely to see how the early season goes and get them to contending teams if the Spurs aren't going anywhere.
