how much does he stand to make, though? If they are balking on a few million for Tristan d/t luxury tax I can't imagine them absorbing Bennett's deal. Or would they just be gaining his rights, not having to absorb the contract since he reached a buyout? Thus league minimum?
Bennett is owed $5.8 million... Cavs could claim him with the TPE if they wanted to. I think they only consider it if they think that Tristan will sign the qualifying offer. Bennett + TT's QO is essentially less than what they would've paid Tristan's current offer per year.
I think if Bennett cleared waivers he would go to Toronto or to a team where he actually has a chance to play.
