2019 NBA Offseason Days 8-9 Recap

OKC trades Jerami Grant to Denver
Nuggets receive:
Jerami Grant$9,346,153$9,346,153

Thunder receive:

2020 1st round pick, protected 1-10 through '22 then becomes two 2nd round picks

Delon Wright agrees to a sign-and-trade with the Mavericks: 3 years, $29 million

Mavericks receive:
Delon Wright$9,206,349$9,666,667$10,126,984

Grizzlies receive:

Two future 2nd round picks
Draft rights to Satnam Singh (52nd pick in 2015)

Tyus Jones signs offer sheet with the Grizzlies: 3 years, $28 million

$8,888,889$9,333,333$9,777,778

Shams had it as $24 million compared to Malika Andrews' report, so some of it may be based on incentives.

-->

July 10th update: Minnesota decline to match.

Jabari Parker signs with the Hawks: 2 years, $13 million
$6,341,463$6,658,537

JaMychal Green re-signs with the Clippers: 2 years, "$10 million"

$4,767,000$5,005,350

Has to be the Room MLE

Avery Bradley signs with the Lakers: 2 years, $9.8 million

$4,767,000$5,005,350

Another Room MLE deal.


Patrick McCaw re-signs with the Raptors

$3,902,439$4,097,561

Likely the minimum, as well, which will net him $1,678,854.

July 9th update: To my surprise, this is actually a 2 year, $8 million deal, per Blake Murphy. We'll see how much of it is guaranteed.

Golden State and Atlanta swap former 1st round bigs

Hawks receive:
Damian Jones$2,305,057
2026 2nd round pick

Warriors receive:
-->
Omari Spellman $1,897,800$1,988,280$3,588,845

Perhaps most importantly, Golden State saves $407,257 against the hard cap.

Theo Pinson re-signs with the Nets: 2 years
-->
$1,445,697$1,701,593

Safe to assume it's the minimum after he was converted from his two-way contract right at the end of the season.

Alec Burks signs with the Warriors: 1 year, minimum contract

After being released from his obligation to Oklahoma City now that they're looking at a rebuilding project, he'll instead be making his $2,320,044 minimum with Golden State.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson signs with the Raptors

Most likely the minimum, which is $1,737,145 for 4 year veteran.

2019 NBA Offseason Days 5-7 Recap aka When Kawhi Shook Up the League

Since nothing (thankfully) happened on the 4th of July I'm combining the last couple of days into one post, headlined by last night's STUNNING blockbuster.

Kawhi Leonard signs with the Clippers: 4 years, $140.8 million
$32,742,000$34,379,100$36,016,200$37,653,300

No Finals MVP had ever left immediately after the championship until this.

Clippers trade for Paul George
Clippers receive:
Paul George$33,005,556$35,450,412$37,895,268

Thunder receive:

Danilo Gallinari$22,615,559
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander$3,952,920$4,141,320$5,495,532
Heat 2021 1st round pick
Clippers 2022, 2024, and 2026 1st round picks
Heat 2023 1st round pick (protected 1-14 through '25, then unprotected)
Right to swap 1st round picks in 2023 and 2025

Using the 1st they got in the trade for Moe Harkless, who could also possibly be the starting four next to that insane wing combination.


Danny Green signs with the Lakers: 2 years, $30 million

$14,634,146$15,365,854

Marcus Morris signs with the Spurs: 2 years, "$20 million"

$9,258,000$9,720,900

I'm estimating the full MLE here, which would explain why DeMarre Carroll's deal had to become 3 years: it's now a sign-and-trade instead of using the MLE that's now going to Morris.


Washington and Memphis swap expiring contracts
Wizards receive:
C.J. Miles$8,730,158


Grizzlies receive:
Dwight Howard$5,603,850

Memphis is already waiving Howard since this was a move just to save the $3.1 million difference in salary.


Kentavious Caldwell-Pope re-signs with the Lakers: 2 years, $16 million
$7,692,308$8,307,692


Brooklyn, San Antonio, and Washington complete three team sign-and-trade
Wizards receive:
Davis Bertans $7,000,000

Spurs receive:
DeMarre Carroll$6,666,667$7,000,000$7,333,333

Nets receive:
Draft rights to Aaron White (49th pick in 2015)
Draft rights to Nemanja Dangubic (54th pick in 2014)

Brooklyn is really doing San Antonio a favor here to facilitate the Morris signing, and ironically, I think Washington are using the trade exception from trading Markieff Morris to take in Bertans.

Ivica Zubac re-signs with the Clippers: 4 years, $28 million

$6,250,000$6,750,000$7,250,000$7,750,000


JaVale McGree re-signs with the Lakers: 2 years, $8 million
$3,902,439$4,097,561


Could wait to sign as the Room MLE to preserve cap space.

Stanley Johnson signs with the Raptors: 2 years, "$7.5 million"

$3,623,000$3,804,150

All but certain that they are using the BAE, making them another hard-capped team.

DeMarcus Cousins signs with the Lakers: 1 year, $3.5 million

          $3,500,000

Back to back years he stunningly has no market, so he's only getting another one year deal that was initially reported as the $2,331,593 minimum for a 9 year veteran.


Quinn Cook signs with the Lakers: 2 years, $6 million
$2,926,829$3,073,171

Alex Caruso re-signs with the Lakers: 2 years, $5.5 million
$2,644,231$2,855,769

Rajon Rondo re-signs with the Lakers: 2 years, minimum contract


Because they gave him a second year, which is also a player option, he'll count as his full $2,564,753.

2019 NBA Offseason Day 4 Recap

Memphis and Atlanta swap terrible 2016 contracts
Hawks receive:
Chandler Parsons$25,102,511

Grizzlies receive:
Solomon Hill$12,758,781
Miles Plumlee$12,500,000

Memphis picks up two young prospects from Phoenix

Grizzlies receive:
Josh Jackson$7,059,480$8,930,242
De'Anthony Melton$1,416,852
2020 2nd round pick
2021 conditional 2nd round pick

Suns receive:

Kyle Korver$7,500,000
Jevon Carter$1,416,852

When Phoenix agreed to Ricky Rubio's signing, I said they needed another move to have the necessary space, and now they will be buying out the $3,440,00 that's guaranteed on Korver's contract to get there while maintaining Kelly Oubre Jr's cap hold.


Darius Miller re-signs with the Pelicans: 2 years, $14.25 million

$6,850,962$7,399,038

Since they're keeping his cap hold on the books, that means one of their non-guaranteed contracts (Jahlil Okafor, Christian Wood, Frank Jackson, Kenrich Williams, or Dairis Bertans) will likely be cut to facilitate the space for their other signings before completing this one.

Markieff Morris signs with the Pistons
$3,623,000$3,804,150

Guessing it's the full BAE.

Jake Layman agrees to a sign-and-trade with the Timberwolves: 3 years, $11.5 million
$3,581,986$3,761,085$3,940,185
-->
I'm using an estimate assuming it's the Dario Saric trade exception that they're using already, which would total $11.3 million, and this hard caps them.

Boban Marjanovic signs with the Mavericks: 2 years, $7 million
$3,414,634$3,585,366

Could fit into the Room MLE to preserve cap space if needed.

TJ McConnell signs with the Pacers: 2 years, $7 million
$3,414,634$3,585,366

Only $1 million guaranteed in the second year, per Michael Scotto.



Raul Neto signs with the 76ers: 1 year, minimum contract

He'll make $1,737,145 as a 4 year veteran.

Tuesday, July 2, 2019

2019 NBA Offseason Day 3 Recap

Rodney McGruder re-sings with the Clippers: 3 years, $15 million
$4,629,630$5,000,000$5,370,370

Can keep him at his small cap hold before officially completing this signing to preserve space.

Daniel Theis re-signs with the Celtics: 2 years, $10 million

$4,807,692$5,192,308

This might be the equivalent of the Room MLE, but since they have his Early Bird rights to give the full $10 million, I'm estimating that for now.

Dorian Finney-Smith re-signs with the Mavericks: 3 years, $12 million

$3,703,704$4,000,000$4,296,296

Like the Kleber deal, this will likely become official once they use up the rest of their cap space since he has such a small cap hold of $1.9 million right now.


Ryan Arcidiacono re-signs with the Bulls: 3 years, $9 million

$2,777,778$3,000,000$3,222,222

Willie Cauley-Stein signs with the Warriors: "slightly above the minimum"


As a 4 year veteran, his minimum would be $1,737,145.

James Ennis re-signs with the 76ers: 2 years, minimum contract
$1,882,867$2,130,023

Glenn Robinson III signs with the Warriors: 2 year deal

$1,882,867$2,130,023

Almost has to be the minimum, and surprisingly going 2 years costs $262,303 in space compared to the veteran minimum for 1 year contracts.

July 10th update: Apparently it is actually only a one year pact despite Shams' initial report, which makes more sense considering their hard cap constraints.

Luke Kornet Signs with the Bulls: 2 years deal
$1,620,564$1,762,796

Estimating the minimum for now, though they do have the Room MLE available.

Shake Milton re-signs with the 76ers: 4 year deal

No details yet, but this likely uses up all of their remaining cap space.

Jeff Green signs with the Jazz: 1 year, minimum contract


He will make $2,564,753.


Jared Dudley signs with the Lakers: 1 year, minimum contract

Like Green, he will make $2,564,753.


Wilson Chandler signs with the Nets: 1 year, minimum contract

Also $2,564,753 for Chandler.

Noah Vonleh signs with the Timberwolves: 1 year deal

Emmanuel Mudiay signs with the Jazz: 1 year, minimum contract


He will make $1,737,145.

Brad Wanamaker re-signs with the Celtics: 1 year, minimum contract

    $1,445,697


Vincent Poirier signs with the Celtics: 2 year deal

$898,310$1,517,981


Assuming the minimum for now.

2019 NBA Offseason Day 2 Recap

As I still add my thoughts to Day 1, here is at least a resource that you can use as a list of all of the moves made today and what these reported salaries are probably going to look like, sorted by their 2019-20 salaries.

(Estimates/player option/team option/not fully guaranteed)

Clippers and Blazers join the Jimmy Butler sign-and-trade
Heat receive:
Jimmy Butler$32,742,000$34,379,100$36,016,200$37,653,300
Meyers Leonard$11,286,515

76ers receive:
Josh Richardson$10,116,576$10,865,952$11,615,328

Clippers receive:
Maurice Harkless$11,511,234
Miami's 2023 1st round pick, protected 1-14 through 2025, then unprotected (per Barry Jackson)

Trail Blazers receive:
Hassan Whiteside$27,093,018

Miami needs to get under the hard cap before completing this deal, and that could be as simple as stretching Ryan Anderson's contract, though that would leave $5.2 million in dead money over the next 3 years.

July 6th update: LA is also receiving the draft rights to Mathias Lessort, the 50th pick in 2017.

Cory Joseph signs with the Kings: 3 years, $37 million
$11,746,032$12,333,333$12,920,635


Like their other signings, only a partial guarantee on the third year, per Amick.

Tomas Satoransky agrees to a sign-and-trade with the Bulls: 3 years, $30 million
$9,523,810$10,000,000$10,476,190

Wizards receive:
The better of the Bulls' and Grizzlies' 2020 2nd round pick (protected 56-60)
The right to swap the Lakers' 2022 2nd round pick for the better of the Bulls' or Pistons'
The elimination of protections on the Bulls' 2023 2nd pick


Wayne Ellington signs with the Knicks: 2 years, $16 million
$7,804,878$8,195,122

2nd year is a team option, per Marks.

Elfrid Payton signs with the Knicks: 2 years, $16 million
$7,804,878$8,195,122

Guessing that a team option will be involved like the rest of their signings.

Maxi Kleber re-signs with the Mavericks: 4 years, $33 million
$7,674,419$8,058,140$8,441,860$8,825,581

With his tiny cap hold, they can use up all of their cap space first before making this official. It was initially reported as $36 million, but that's including incentives.

Seth Curry signs with the Mavericks: 4 years, $32 million
$7,441,860$7,813,953$8,186,047$8,558,140

Ish Smith signs with the Wizards: 2 years, $12 million
$5,718,000$6,003,900

Estimating the Taxpayer MLE for now.

Enes Kanter signs with the Celtics: 2 years, "$10 million"
$4,767,000$5,005,350

It's possible this is part of the full MLE if Boston manages to stay over the cap, but since it sounds more like the Room MLE that so many of the big men are getting, I'm using that number.

Richaun Holmes signs with the Kings: 2 years, "$10 million"
$4,767,000$5,005,350

Has to be the Room MLE

Frank Kaminsky signs with the Suns: 2 years, "$10 million"
$4,767,000$5,005,350

Could be cap space if they make a move like renouncing Kelly Oubre Jr., but I'm estimating the Room MLE again.

Kevon Looney re-signs with the Warriors: 3 years, $15 million
$4,629,630$5,000,000$5,370,370

I thought he'd go for a 2nd year player option to potentially get a bigger contract next year already, but he went for the security of more guaranteed with the 3rd year as the PO, per Slater.


There ya go, @BobbyMarks42 was spot on in his offseason preview for Looney, and all of the bigs getting the Room MLE set the market for a starting salary. With Napier/Graham sent out, they can sign 3 vets and still have breathing room for 10 dayshttps://t.co/xJzmR3ZP8S pic.twitter.com/S6B7sQOWgV
