Can we use our TPE to sign Lance Stephenson to a deal of 10.8 million? And if we did, could we then possibly give him a contract of 2-3 years of 12+ million, and then do a sign and trade to Minny?

I think you'd have to structure any subsequent deal with Minnesota in a very careful way, so as not to combine Lance with other salary to acquire a trade target making more than $10.8 mil.

But you can't use the TPE to acquire Lance if he's signed to a contract of more than $10.8 mil.

Edit: Had forgotten that acquisitions via S&T are prevented from being immediately traded, even if no salary aggregation is taking place. TP to LC for the clarification.

The largest contract that fits into the TPE is four years for approximately $43.87m, beginning at around $10.28m.  Sign-and-trade contracts have to be at least three years in length.  You can't sign another team's free agent and immediately trade him.  You can, however, have a deal along the lines of Indiana signing and trading Stephenson to Minnesota, Love going to Boston, and Kevin Martin going to Indiana, with the Celtics presumably sending other stuff to both teams.
