Message: [QUOTE="Matrim55, post: 5279330, member: 3376"] The value they'd be looking for is getting under the apron, and under the tax entirely if possible. So we're not gonna see a ton of picks in return unless they ship out Brown and/or White. So for Jrue it would be something like Powell's expiring and Jordan Miller's non-guaranteed deal to make the numbers work (they'd then work to try to flip Powell to a team that needs a bench sniper and has cap space), and hopefully a couple of second-rounders. For Porzingis they could make the numbers work in exchange for Wendell Carter, provided Orlando don't pick up the options on Harris and Howard (which is extremely likely). I doubt picks would change hands with that one. Add the Hauser move on top of it and they'll have shaved about $42m off their cap hit, which gets them under the first apron. If they find a taker for Powell – at best they'd get a late first for him – then they're all the way under the tax. [/QUOTE]
