If rookie money makes a difference, it seems like trading for any decent vet contributor or starter would push the cap into that luxury tax penalty, right?
Yes, people trying to switch Graham for a vet shooter like Huerter are thinking about this season only. That's not workable the following year unless Huerter is a missing piece that makes you a contender and gets you comfortable going into the tax.
I personally think they need to develop rookies and try avoiding the tax until they have to pay Herb. It shouldn't slow the timeline down much assuming Herb/Jose/Trey continue to develop, and makes keeping the core together much more sustainable once Zion/BI are in their primes. If you start the tax clock next year, you'll be in the very punitive repeater tax when they are just hitting their championship stride.

Exactly. Unless CJ is taking a big discount on his next deal, this team will be continuing to dance around the tax line for as long as this core is together. Cost controlled talent is going to be key.

I don't see how we can keep the core together, give Zion his extension, and stay out of the tax.
I think that this is our last season under the tax.
