The problem is that any other work to duck the tax involves sending out Larry or Jonas, unless you plan on trading Dyson or Trey and not taking anything else back.

So no matter what, its not something that we could do unless you want to lose one of the 4 big pieces of the team


Disagree, we could find a way to shave 200k to avoid the tax, though it means move Liddell for sure.

I do however agree with you that it is highly highly unlikely, which is why I put a cap of any moves being around 7.5.

If we can dump Kira to the Wiz, I wonder if it’s even worth it to us to move Naji to a playoff team or contender.

Does Luke Kornet and flier prospect like Jordan Walsh make us any better? Or Isaiah Jackson and a 2nd? Nazir Little? It’s hard to find anything that is better than just keeping Naji.

Actually let me take back what i said in earlier posts, Kira, Zeller and Naji going out with Reed coming back only saves 1.9 million, we are 2.9 over the tax, so we would still have to shed another million to get under the tax.

Even if we send out EJ and take no salary back, then we are about 900k under the tax with only 11 rostered players, which means we need to sign 3 players to contracts, which would have us right back into the tax.

We cannot take back anything more than around 4 million and still duck the tax if we use those 3 players as salary going out, unless you want to lose one of Larry, Jonas, Trey or Dyson
