re: NBA Offseason Trade & FA thread: KD To Ws, Wade to Bulls

I found this insightful post on BE:

"My cheat sheet…

Damian Lillard $24,328,425
Allen Crabbe $17,530,774
Evan Turner $17,530,774
Al-Farouq Aminu $7,680,965
Festus Ezeli $7,432,763
Ed Davis $6,666,667
C.J. McCollum $3,219,579
Noah Vonleh $2,751,360
Mason Plumlee $2,328,530
Anderson Varejao $1,984,005
Shabazz Napier $1,350,000
Jake Layman $900,000
Pat Connaughton $874,636
Luis Montero $874,636

For a total of $95,453,114 and $17.8M before luxury tax kicks in."

Depending on the market for Leonard (might be smaller than expected considering there hasnt been anything that I've seen on him?) and Harkless, might be able to squeeze under the luxury tax. Then again, if we match here, the Nets or a team like the Nets with lots of money to blow and not much to look forward to for the future can come in and offer a crazy contract to Leonard because why not it's all they got! I'd rather keep Harkless especially if he's cheapish. Crabbe is a nice guy but he can't create his shot at all. He needs somebody to get him the ball.

Also Alexander was cut
