Raptors Salary Cap Situation (and planning for the future)

[Bonus Jonas]

I'm assuming a non-guaranteed deal so he can go to camp and play some preseason games a la Will Cherry

[DanH]

Partial guarantee is the word.

But that could very well mean 25k guaranteed so when he's waived and signed to the 905, he's making 50k per year

[DanH]

Yep.

Training camp body and possible DLeague player.

Next.

we should do that with deandre Daniels... Give him like 250k guaranteed, waive him and put him on the d league roster... Create some goodwill, and while yes, we lose his rights, I think he'd be more than willing to talk with us and let us match any offer he receives

Or just leave him on the big squad. He won't play regardless and he gets 525k

Upside to this is a) we keep his RFA rights by not waiving him and b) if he gets healthy he can be assigned to the D-League anyway.

Downside is one less useable roster spot. But I agree - drop Roberts to the D-League as an affiliate player and keep Daniels as dead weight to maintain rights over him. Then even if you don't re-sign him next summer you keep his RFA rights if you don't waive him (and he would have a tiny cap hold due to non-Bird Rights).

But he takes up a roster spot, which kills flexibility

That's what the worry was about signing Stiemsma last year. Considering him, Bruno, Bebe and Fields never played, and Hayes played rarely, I think we'll be okay

Fair enough... For a second I forgot Casey was coaching

Plus once he gets healthy I'm sure he'll be able to contribute just as well as Bruno. /s

As for trade flexibility, an extra body can always be waived if necessary.

If I remember correctly, the team provides room & board for D League players. If not, good luck finding a place to live on 25k in the GTA.
