This feels weird unless it’s a cost cutting move for Brooklyn…maybe throwing Joe Harris in?

Otherwise this makes a KD for Ayton deal more difficult

They don't have the cap space to absorb 9M?!

ESPN's Brian Windhorst reports Kevin Durant "requests trade from Nets."

WOW !

Ya so something else is up

[Indy]

[Uncle_Gene]

Ayton, Cam Payne, Shamet, 2 1st rounders.

Let's get it, James Jones.

After they trade us KD, they will have some more room.

Ayton/Cam J/3 1sts n an option for pick swaps?

Anybody but CP/Booker/Bridges and I'm in

They can’t go over the tax apron if they make a sign and trade…Ayton only counting 15 going out and 30 coming in presents a big problem as Brooklyn will almost surely be bringing in more salary. We’d really need a 3rd team to take on salary here.

Is that the same rules if they are not the ones signing? And what is the tax apron amount?

[Split T]

Ya, if you receive a player in a sign and trade it hard caps you at the tax apron. I believe it’s about 156 million

If they do it as a multiple team trade with Kyrie going to LA, they might be able to make that 25% difference fit into the equation.

[Split T]

Ya it’s doable…if they send Kyrie and Harris to LA for Westbrook/2 1sts, then you’ve got more space. Or you get a team like Orlando involved who doesn’t really want to use their space.
