After the trade for Valanciunas I think this is the play. They cleared 20 mil in salary making that trade and have enough cap space to offer contracts to both players along with acquiring their former teammate JV. And for the record I want Toronto to resign Lowry.

  Well the caps at $125 mil and Pelicans are at about $70 mil after the qualifying offers to Ball and Hart. If they wanna go over the tax they can have Lowry and Derozan split the $55 mil and match any offers to Ball and Hart. I’m pretty sure that works you would have to ask a current cap guru I don’t keep up to date with these things.

2021-2022: soft cap limit $112 million
pelcians are at$94,454,132
so they have less than 18 million in cap space (not including lonzo ball or josh hart’s) .
9 million each I doubt is enough.

  Adams and Bledsoe $35 mil for Valanciunas $14 mil they are at $73 mil so it can still work if the caps $112 mil. I guess they changed it from $125 mil after covid hit it was supposed to increase this year.

  Its kinda low to be honest. I don’t see these guys taking deals, especially Lowry. We’ll see. Theres also rumors of a sign and trade with Duncan Robinson centered around Brandon Ingram. Not sure what else Miami would have to give but that would free up some more money.

I could see Lowry at NOP not sure about DeRozan. Kyle has a title so doesn’t have to “chase” one now so can be more choosey about where he goes. He is 35 now so a lot would depend on what sort of commitment a team might give him. If he got 3 guaranteed or nearly guaranteed full years he might take less. but if it was for one or two years only., he’d want near market value.
DeRozan actually played PF last season which I had forgotten about. He turns 32 soon and is srill a 20ppg player but how much of an effective rather than a volume scorer he can be I don’t know. But 3 years under Popps will have surely helped his all round game and you don’t have over 17.750 career points and be a 4 time All Star with 2nd and 3rd team all NBA nods for nothing.
But he is 3 years removed from these accolades whilst Lowry is only one year so despite DeRozan not turning 32 for another week the older Lowry could be seen as a more attractive signing.

Lakers have to be out as a destination for either one, if they acquire Russ. So this scenario just became a little more likely …
