Depending on how much faith you have in Williams, we could move him for Tate and a 2nd or 2. Can probably flip Tate for a 2nd. And it would generate a TPE for Williams' full salary of 11.5.
Then, could send brogdon to houston for oladipo, Landale and a 1st, and generate another 14.5 million dollar tpe.
Gets us over 15 million away from the tax which means, if we wanted, we could try to take on someone's bleh salary for picks with one of the exceptions
It would be just our luck if we traded Robert Williams and he somehow remains injury free for the next 3-5 years.
That and, I really like him(if healthy), as a backup C for us. But it's not like you're gambling to get a Zion Williamson type. It's still just an above average hustle big. I'm ok with a big TPE and 2 nds or soYeah, but that's a gamble I'm willing to take. He's not really young at 26. I don't think his body is going to hold up very long.
I think with his injury history the guy has maybe 2-3 more years where he could be really good when healthy. But I can’t imagine he will be anywhere near as good into his 30s so the guy just doesn’t fit our window. If someone is willing to give us decent value, you take it.That and, I really like him(if healthy), as a backup C for us. But it's not like you're gambling to get a Zion Williamson type.

Much more likely is that we DON'T trade him with that worry in mind and he never plays again.It would be just our luck if we traded Robert Williams and he somehow remains injury free for the next 3-5 years.
If we're going to trade for RoCo again, I want the two firsts we gave up for him backPhilly is currently about 4.3 million over. We could easily absorb Covington from them, and save them close to 20 million dollars as well, depending on what they're willing to pay to get that far under the tax.
I would honestly see how badly they want Malcolm and Rob and if they want them bad enough see what kind of future draft capital it would take or draft capital from another trade to get Jabari Smith Jr. If that's at all possible.Joe must prise some of the young talented length from HOU.

Why? After drafting young players, they immediately signed vets to play in front of them. It would not be surprising for them to get more vets, especially considering the number of youngins they have.I'll be shocked if HOU trades any of their promising young players.

They sure got plenty of coverage last summer.It's a shame that the Blazers have zero coverage on The Athletic. What happened to Jason Quick?

Philadelphia 76ers want proven players that can help now, not draft picks. They’re in that championship window. I’m sure they would love Jerami Grant though.Fanspo says it is unsuccessful, but it's not taking in to account that each team could build trades that suit themselves, instead of all of the parameters of the deal having to be the same for all teams.
For the Rockets, they trade Tate for Williams. Trade rules state that any outgoing salary up to 7.5 million can match up to 200%. So Tate could bring in 13 million. Williams makes 11.5 Successful deal. Then they swap Oladipo and Landale(17.4) for Brogdon(22.5). Deals between 7.5 and 29 million outgoing can add 7.5 million to them. In this deal, Houston adds 5.1. Successful deal.
For Philly, you can always take in less salary. So they trade out 11.6 for 6.5.
For Portland, I believe I have it correct, we treat it as 2 separate deals. We trade Williams(11.5) for Tate and Oladipo(15.9). We take Landale in to TPE. We trade Tate(6.5) for Covington(11.6) (Tate's 6.5*200%), and trade Brogdon to Houston for nothing, creating a TPE of 22.5 million good until next season.
We get the right to swap our GS pick with Houston for the Brooklyn pick(top 3 protected) this season. And we get their 2025 pick, which would be theirs, OKC's or Brooklyn's.
We get 2 2nds from Philly this season(I know we already have 2. They're still assets that can be flipped or combined with 2nds to move up, etc.), and the right to swap any of our 3 2029 picks(Ours, Bucks, or Celtics) with one of their 2029 picks(theirs or Clippers).
In the end, we move Brogdon and Williams for all expiring deals, 2 2nds, 2 swaps, and a '25 pick.

I didn't give them draft picks, I was taking a swap from them, and providing them with a decent role player in Tate, while also saving them over 11 million dollars this season.Philadelphia 76ers want proven players that can help now, not draft picks. They’re in that championship window. I’m sure they would love Jerami Grant though.
they have won only 5 more games than us. i'm enjoying their fall to the bottom.I like how the Warriors are in an "early season hole"
