By the numbers: What the Bulls can do if they don't land Melo

大意:
因為公牛有(非)鳥權跟一些非保障約,所以就算公牛特赦了Boozer,我們在renounce
這些東西之前,我們技術上是「高於薪資上限的」,也就是說要是我們可以說服我們
中意的自由球員跟他的母隊,和我們sign and trade,例如我們跟P.Gasol談好3年30M
,然後由湖人跟我們sigh and trade,我們送出Dun+三張非保證約就可以達到薪資對
等,再給湖人拿點甜頭例如選秀權,那我們除了可以得到P.Gasol外,因為我們的薪資
還高於上限,所以我們可以使用MLE+BAE這兩個簽約特例。
這就是上季制服組最後跟M.James+Amundson+R.Brewer簽了非保障約的附加價值,當然
Kirk的鳥權也預佔了不少空間,所以透過這個方式,我們在FA市場的操作空間是不能
夠只用我們帳面上的cap space來看待。
Melodrama 2014 might be over in a few days with Carmelo Anthony wrapping up
his scheduled meetings with the Lakers and Knicks on Thursday. It will be
perceived as a big loss here in Chicago if he chooses to stay in New York,
but the Bulls have several options they will quickly move on if that's what
happens.
First, we need to clear up a misconception about Carlos Boozer. There were
conflicting reports on Wednesday night about the Bulls using the amnesty
provision on the power forward. Regardless of what they decide, the Bulls
cannot officially use the amnesty until July 10. They will have seven days to
make a decision, though in reality it likely won’t take seven minutes.
We’ve discussed the Bulls' free-agency plan before, but let's go into more
deal about “Plan B”: how the Bulls can get a mid-tier free agent and keep
both the mid-level and bi-annual exceptions. Using the amnesty provision on
Boozer only creates $11.8 million in cap space (and a max of $10.3 million
for one player). That $11.8 million is only practical cap space if they
renounce all their exceptions and free agents. The Bulls are technically over
the salary cap even after using the amnesty on Boozer, and that is a good
thing because that will give them an avenue to keep their two exceptions.
Let’s assume the Bulls renounce their rights to free agents and their two
trade exceptions. They will still have cap hits for Nikola Mirotic, Mike
James, Ronnie Brewer, Lou Amundson and the mid-level and bi-annual
exceptions. The cap hit for Mirotic still counts unless the Bulls sign him,
trade him, enter an agreement that keeps him in Europe another year or
renounce his rights. So where does that leave the Gar Forman and John Paxson?
My opinion is that the front office will make a hard push for a
sign-and-trade that brings in a mid-tier free agent because they want Mirotic
in a Bulls uniform next season.
Let’s talk about the financial benefit of doing a sign-and-trade for a
mid-tier player and use Pau Gasol as an example (if you'd like, substitute
your favorite mid-tier free agent for Gasol). I’ll let others debate whether
bringing Gasol to the Bulls is a good idea, but let’s just use him instead
of the boring “Player A.” If the Bulls convince Gasol to come to Chicago on
a three-year, $30-million contract (again, let’s just focus on the numbers
and not if he is worth that money), they could sign him as a free agent. But
that would eat up almost all of their cap space. A straight signing means the
Bulls would have no exceptions to use, leaving Mirotic in Europe and only
room for veteran minimum contracts.
The better option is to do a sign-and-trade keeping the exceptions intact. To
do a sign-and-trade for a $10-million player, the Bulls would need to send
out approximately $7 million in outgoing salary (this potential trade uses
the non-taxpayer rule of 150 percent of outgoing salary has to equal the
incoming salary). Hypothetically, the Bulls could trade Mike Dunleavy, the
three non-guaranteed contracts of James, Brewer and Amundson and a draft pick
for Gasol. Dunleavy works for any team because he is an expiring deal, and
the addition of Doug McDermott makes Dunleavy expendable from the Bulls'
perspective. The Lakers can immediately cut the three non-guaranteed deals,
and they will get a draft pick as well. Remember, sign-and-trade deals aren’
t designed to give the sending team equal “value.” It’s a way for the
sending team to get something back versus losing a player for nothing in free
agency. To give you an idea of sign-and-trade value, the Cavaliers received
just two first-round picks, two second-round picks and the rights to swap
picks for sending LeBron James to Miami in 2010.
Completing a sign-and-trade for Gasol or any other mid-tier free agent allows
the Bulls to keep their mid-level exception (max of $5.3 million first-year
salary) and bi-annual exception (max of $2.07 million first-year salary). The
mid-level could be enough to bring over Mirotic (who has an approximate $3.4
million buyout from his contract with Real Madrid which the Bulls can only
pay $600,000 of with Mirotic paying the rest). And the bi-annual could be
used for a backup point guard. This scenario allows the Bulls to spend $17
million versus only about $14 million if they were just free-agency signings.
This isn’t the “home run” plan of Anthony or even Kevin Love, but it does
allow the Bulls to make some significant upgrades to their roster and compete
in a weak Eastern Conference.
