I'd rather have Oladipo and Sabonis than Crowder and some picks in the 20s.
it would have also been bradley
That's not in the reports.
A Bradley level contract would be needed to make the numbers work though.
That contract wouldn't have had to go to Indiana, though.
How so? In order for the Celtics to take in 18 million after signing Hayward, they would need to ship out about 14 million, right?
Yes, there can be up to a $5 million difference in incomes no versus outgoing salary.
We'd have to send out Bradley, most likely. There's no requirement that he be sent to Indy.
For instance, this basic trade structure works:
BOS trades: AB, Crowder, crappy 1sts
BOS receives: George, asset from Philly
PHI trades: asset
PHI receives: AB
IND trades: George
IND receives: Crowder, crappy 1sts
