Thanks for all the hard work you put in! I really enjoy looking at the realistic options for the Pistons and how players could fit in and what it would take to get them.

My #1 offseason target for the Pistons. He'd be an excellent backup 3/4 which probably means Tek would be on the move elsewhere.

Don't know the roster will shake out with Dennis/Beasley/THJ, but a second unit with Ivey, Beasley/THJ, Ron, Laravia, and Duren/Stew would be a lot of fun to watch

I agree. I think there is a path to keeping Beasley and Schroder while bringing on LaRavia IF they were willing to trade Fontecchio

Assuming we pay a couple of 2nd for someone to take on Fontecchio's salary

Cade Cunningham $ 46,394,100

Tobias Harris $ 26,634,146

Isaiah Stewart $ 15,000,000

Jaden Ivey $ 10,107,163

Ausar Thompson $ 8,772,000

Ron Holland $ 8,657,280

Jalen Duren $ 6,483,144

Marcus Sasser $ 2,886,720

Bobi Klintman $ 1,955,377

$126,889,930 Total salary

That's 9 guys under contract. I believe you still need to have a minimum of 12 players under contract, and since we would only have 9, you'd need to add 3 cap holds for those missing players.

I don't know exactly how much each would be, I believe it's $1,272,869 (0 years of experience minimum salary), but I could be wrong.

$1,272,869 x 3 = $3,818,607 million. So our total salary counting against the cap would be $130,708,567, which would give us $23,938,433 in cap space.

Assuming we give NTMLE money to Malik Beasley ($60,647,200 total for 4 years, starting at 14,1 million) we would have a little less than 10 million for Schröder.

Do you think Dennis accept that? we could offer him something like 3 years 30ish million total I guess which wouldn't be bad for him.

1st year $9,838,433

2nd year $10,330,354

3rd year $10,846,871

total $31,015,658 is the maximum we could offer Dennis Schröder, unless Beasley sign for less than NTMLE money.

Then we could offer LaRavia the room exception. 3 years $27,660,150 total starting at $8,781,000.

That would be a pretty good offseason imo, even tho I don't like Duren as our starting center.
