Is it for sure that we arent going to pick up another player with the empty spot? I assume Niang will be a 2 way contract and not filling Jerebko's spot.

Also I dont think being limited athletically means you have no upside, but it does limit it.

Not for sure — but it would seem the lamest, most conservative move, and therefore, the move I most expect the front office would make (mostly joking, but I think the team will look back and see this offseason as a missed opportunity to lockup a good player on a bargain long-term deal by waiving Sef, Jonas, and Udoh)

I love Niang on a two-way, but not taking up a roster spot.

I think keeping Jerebko is a pretty conservative move. But I guess we will see what they do with it. In reality its probably a player that never sees the court except garbage time or injuries.

I think a sign and trade gets really tricky because of both teams being over the cap. I dont know how to make the salaries work because of this rule:

"The BYC rule applies to a specific circumstance. If a player is being signed-and-traded via Early Bird or Bird rights by a team above the salary cap, gets a raise of at least 20%, and his salary is worth more than the minimum, his cap figure for salary-matching purposes will be affected. For the team acquiring him, his full salary would apply in a trade. For the team trading him, he would count for his previous salary or 50% of his new salary, whichever is greater."

Thats weird. I wonder what that rule is about.

So if I understand it right, it means if say he signs for 18 mil per. We have to move 18 worth of salary because we are over the cap, but they can only take on 9 mil, and they are over the cap too. So in other words we would have to get a 3rd team involved that is under the cap for it to work?

If so, that is dumber that ****. Why do that? The NBA needs to loosen some of these dumb rules when it comes to trading so more trades can happen. This is a game. Fans want to see trades. Its entertaining. The entertainment part is the biggest part of the business they need to worry about. Complicating things make it less entertaining.
 
After the spurs trade kawahoo for a stack of players and are forced to renounce their claim on Davis Bertrans the jazz will sign him on a multi year deal.
 
If we sign Bertans and give SA Bradley as compensation to not match him, then I’ll forgive DL.

That is how I understand it as well. I dont understand the purpose of it either but that is the reason we almost never see sign and trades anymore. They used to be somewhat common. My guess is that it gives more power to the team to keep their players, instead of allowing them to force their way to whatever team they want regardless of the teams salary.
