Does anyone who's paid attention to the updated CBA know the salary implications of an OG-deal involving an (admittedly unlikely) extend-and-trade scenario? Would that have a significant impact on salary-matching?
I don't think there are monkey-wrenches in salary matching for an extend and trade of OG
but there may still be a monkey-wrench or two unless the new CBA changed.
IIRC, under the old CBA, raises in an extend and trade were limited to 5%, instead of 8%. And under the old CBA, the raise from old contract to new was limited to 20% (
which is exactly what Dame got). I think I read somewhere that the new CBA allows a 40% raise. But I'm pretty sure that's just for an extension and not an extend and trade. I'm not sure how the new CBA would handle OG's 20M player option in 2024-25. Maybe he can have an option to opt in and extend for 3 years. Or opt-out and extend for 4. I simply don't know about that even though the total length of his contract(s) would be the same
in any event, I'm thinking his first year of an extend & trade in 2024-25 would be limited to 120% of his current salary. That would put his first season at 22.37M, with 5% raises. If he opted in to 2024-25 and did a 3 year extension starting in 2025-26, his first year salary would be 23.9M, with only 5% step-raises
again, the CBA has tricked me many times so I might have things wrong. But considering that OG is probably thinking about at least 30M/year on his next deal I don't think there would be any way he'd agree to an extend & trade
