Bumping this this thread again, even though it go no traction last year. Might not get a lot of traction this year, either, due to the Cavs limited resources. If you have any questions about what moves the Cavs can or cannot do, this might be a good place to put them.
A quick primer of the assets/restraints the Cavs have:
- 5.2 million to sign any FA from the taxpayer MLE. They can split the 5.2 between different players if they so choose. The most they can sign a player for with this exception is 3 years.
- Full Larry Bird Rights on Kyler Korver, meaning the Cavs can sign him for any amount of money up to his max. This could be for 4 years.
- Early Bird rights on both DWills. Basically, they can sign either for a little above the vet min. This can be for up to 4 years. If they want to go significantly above the vet min, they'll need to use the taxpayer MLE.
- Right now, the Cavs are slated to be a tax paying team AND above the apron. Unless they severely cut salary, they will stay that way. Besides costing Gilbert a lot of tax dollars, it prohibits the Cavs from using the Bi-annual Exception (a little over 3 mil), the full 8mil MLE, or accepting anybody in a Sign and Trade. Also, in any trade, they can only accept 125% plus 100k of outgoing salary.
