Nobody in the NBA with tons of cap is going to give them a first for either of those guys
You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?
- Thread starter Shad
- Start date
Definitely not for Tucker, I could maybe see someone giving up a late first for Gordon.

Miami is all about Butler. Miami even has a meeting set with him: https://heatnation.com/rumors/miami-heat-rumors-meeting-jimmy-butler/ What about...
Miami gets Butler
Philly get Exum (and some minor draft considerations from Miami and us)
Utah gets Winslow and Olynyk
Philly would still re-sign Tobias Harris and Redick. Getting Exum (who I'm making the assumption they would want), is better than just losing Butler for nothing.

Can a team use its room MLE to match an offer sheet? Cuz if they can, I bet the Lakers match anything below the room exception on Caruso.
If not, then be the first one at his door and try and get him on a deal. If so, tender an offer barely above the room MLE.

Would that trade even work? Winslow's at $13 million for next season and Olynyk $11.6 million. Wouldn't that put us way over the cap?

If we're sending out Exum and waiving Favors, we actually have money left.
Winslow and Olynyk combine to make around $25. Without Favors, we have around $17 million. So $17 million plus Exum's $9.6 is a couple million more than the $25 to take on Winslow and Olynyk.
If Butler wants Miami badly enough and doesn't want Philly at all, this trade makes more sense than anything Houston is trying to conjure up.
Ah, that's right...I forgot about the $17 million we'd have after waiving Favors.

There is a lot of chatter to Miami doing a sign and trade for Butler. https://allucanheat.com/2019/06/23/miami-heat-draft-trade-jimmy-butler/
If Butler 100% says no to Philly but Philly is still keeping Tobias and Redick, it makes sense for Philly to get anything they can for Butler via sign and trade. Philly can't sign and trade Butler AND keep Tobias and Redick. Their cap holds/salaries will be too big. That also means they can't accept all that much back in a trade in terms of contracts. So a 3rd team with space would be necessary and that's where we could come in.

Offer and make them match anyway. They are sooo tight on their structure that you will probably get lucky. If not, you could screw up their plans. I'd offer 51% of the room exception on Sunday. Right before he signs, offer the Lakers a sign and trade with Burks exception instead. That gives the Lakers a 2.3 million dollar exception, which would be an asset to them AND clears Caruso's caphold.
If I could get the sign and trade I might do 3 years at 9 million.
When the Jazz drop below the tax level on Jul 1 (or possibly Jun 30, I forget the date this year), which they must do in order to do the Conley trade as it has been announced, they immediately lose the Burks exception. It is not a thing the Jazz can use.
