For players with 10+ years of experience the vet min salary is the same - 2.56M. But you don't really need that. Exum's salary is 9.6M and Marvin Williams' salary is 15M. All you need to do is get to 10M of outgoing value in order to make the trade for Marvin. Gallinari's salary is 22.62M... you need to get to 17.62M of salary in order to trade for Gallinari. So 1 vet min contract won't do it. You will need 2...Hi.
I’ve been thinking about a strategy about the Jazz signing the most-tenured, borderline NBA players so that their vet-minimum is substantial, and then down the road, they could be salary for a mid-season trade. I’ll do a deeper dive on this later, but a player like Jose Calderon might be an example.
As part of that plan, if you can trade Exum and whatever other salary for Marvin Williams, you could later trade Marvin Williams and whatever salary for, say Gallinari.
Anyway, goonight
