Fleshing out my idea for getting a TRUE third star on this roster this off-season;
Udoka was an assistant coach during DeRozen's first year at SA after being traded for Leonard.
Have to bring him here with a sign and trade, which hard caps the team at the $143M Apron .
the S&T:
D. DeRozon 4 yr deal / $28m first year salary
for
M. smart- 14.3M Expiring
T. Thompson- 9.7M expiring
trade works for the salary cap rules and SA gets two players on expiring deals back.
Celtics then use the $5.9m taxpaying MLE to bring in TJ McConnell from Indiana as a free agent.
final two roster spots need to filled with low cost options at wing and PG.
projected roster with salarys:
Horford- 27.0M
Rob- 3.7M
Moses- 1.7M
Tatum- 28.1M
Grant- 2.6M
Parker- 2.3M
Brown- 26.7M
Nesmith- 3.6M
#45 pick/ other low cost wing- 1.0M
DeRozen- 28.0M
Langford- 3.8M
Edwards- 1.8M
McConnell- 5.9M
Pritchard- 2.1M
Mader/ Water- 1.5M
that would put the teams total salary at $141M with the dead money on the cap next season.
about $2M below the hard capped apron, so not a lot of room for maneuvering for any mid-season trades. But you potentially have your team to compete for the next 3 years or longer.
