I got these questions answered in Hollinger's chat today. Here's the basic take:
1. Hollinger was wrong about combining the TPE. Can't be done.
2. Booze basically becomes Base Year in a new deal (not guaranteed, but likely)
3. Due to the fine print in the CBA BYC rules, he doesn't have a trade value of half (or roughly 8). It would be approximately 12 million, or his current salary.
Thus, a straight, 2 team S&T with Orlando requires the Jazz to take back approximately 11 million in salary. They would then need to get a 3rd team to eat a contract if they only wanted 2 or 1 guy. For example, they could do an S&T with Orlando to get Gortat and Bass, but would then find a team who wanted Bass and was willing to give up the Cap Space. Presumably, the Jazz and/or the Magic could sweeten the offer to the 3rd team with 2nd round picks, cash, etc. There are countless permutations of this. Alternatively, the Jazz could decide there is 11 million dollars in contracts they want and just do the deal.
Interesting. Thanks. I gotta think the Nets, Wizards, and Knicks could all end up possibilities as a third team given the fact that they may have substanial cap room even after the big named guys are signed.
