I worry that a large TPE doesn't do much good unless we can convince a player to come to NOLA. That is not easy. What player would we be able to take on in that TPE that makes us better?
My favorite trade to save money would be BI to Detroit for Duren and their 1st.
That move would have us around 60 million under the tax, with the ability to use the full 12 million NTMLE AND we would also get a 36 million dollar TPE.
With a TPE that large we could take in just about anyone we would want, plus we still have plenty of space to give Naji a raise and Jose a raise.

People over-valuing TPEs in 2024 is pretty comical.

Detroits pick will almost assuredly be top 3.
Also with a 36 million TPE there’s a multitude of players you can take back, especially from teams over the tax that want to shed salary (one name that comes to mind is Miami)
Say Miami says screw it and decides to blow it up, a 36 million TPE is enough to take in Bam. That would be VERY tempting to them to get a shitload of picks and the tax relief.
You could also combine it to take back multiple players. For instance if Atlanta wants picks (wouldn’t happen but just using for an example) Okongwu and Deandre Hunter would both fit into the TPE.
If it were a small one then yes it wouldn’t be that valuable, but 36 million can do alot in this league.
Hell another example would be if Cleveland loses Mitchell and decides to do a soft reset, we can take back Allen and Strus into the TPE just to give them the salary relief. Probably wouldn’t cost more than a single 1st in that scenario.

Detroit is not guaranteed to draft top 3. They should, but could fall to 5.

The draft lottery is next week, we would know the pick before the trade happens.
Trade couldn’t be finalized before the start of the league year anyway as that’s when Detroit would have the cap space.
