I don't think a lot of Gordon, but he would fit well in Hayward's old spot.
I love Markannen on Boston because he can also sub at 5 which makes Theis expendable. Bulls seem to want to dump Young.
Boston does not have the salary cap to take on the additional salary of Gordon or Markannen/ Young. Boston's new trade exception can not be used in this manner either.
Boston has a 28 mil TPE.
Correct. But Boston cannot add players to the TPE in a trade per the CBA.
Why couldn't it be used in this manner?
Agree with Nightcap. The salary difference can be compensated with the TPE in this manner.
From what I understand, you can add players but you wouldn't be able to add their salary. For instance, a 28 mil TPE plus a 5 mil player still only gets you a 28 mil player back.
