Predict the Rudy Gobert trade

The trade that seems to make the most sense is...

Jazz get Collins, Huerter, Griffin, picks?
Spurs get Capela, picks
Hawks get Gobert, Murray
I think they would be separate transactions.

Spurs don't want Capela I don't think.

Capela to Minnesota seems perfect but Atlanta can facilitate that taking back Beasley.

85. For sign-and-trade transactions (see question number 92), the outgoing salary for players who are subject to what was previously referred to as Base Year Compensation is either the previous salary or 50% of the new salary, whichever is greater (see question number 93).

92. For example, a player made $5 million last season, is a Larry Bird free agent, and re-signs with his previous team for $10 million. The team is a taxpayer, and therefore is over the cap following the signing. The signing is part of a sign-and-trade transaction for another team's $10 million player. Since the BYC conditions were satisfied the player's outgoing salary for the trade portion of this sign-and-trade transaction is $5 million. This trade therefore would not be allowed, even though the players' new salaries match, since a taxpaying team cannot trade a $5 million player for a $10 million player. The highest salary this team could acquire in a sign-and-trade arrangement is $6.35 million2.

Once a sign-and-trade is complete, the player's actual salary is included in his new team's team salary.

This is on CBA FAQ by Larry Coon.

A few contracts ago, sign-and-trade players were excluded from following BYC rules; BYC rules only applied if you sign them and later traded them.

I think that is what is happening here. The sign-and-trade in #92 is the OTHER team doing a sign and trade. The team subject to BYC here first signed a guy for $10M, and then later tried to trade them. That's when BYC happens.

It was a foregone conclusion the moment we traded for him. Now, perhaps he comes back. But it isn’t without being waived first.
I think him being waived is a given. What if the front office goes totally skinflint and lets Juancho, Paschal, Hassan, House and Forrest walk and replaces them with the lowest salary rooks and keeps the roster to the minimum? Would that get the Jazz below the tax?

No.

No, if we did all that even without signing any minimums we’re at 148.2M with only 10 players. The luxury tax is 149M and we’d still need to fill out the roster with minimums.
 
This can't be true. But yeah, the part about the hard capping is a thing I thought might be an issue. Arent there ways around that though? Like doing the trade after each team has made their off-season moves?
It does if they are Base Year compensation…. I think if they are getting like more than a 50% raise or something they are byc and Ayton qualifies.
