Since we signed the extension with Myles before the season, his outgoing salary would only be $ 3,410,284 BUT his incoming salary for a recipient team jumped to $15,082,057 (average salary calculated over 5 seasons).
We could trade a package of Myles Turner, Darren Collison and Doug McDermott for a total outgoing salary of $ 20,743,618 and be allowed to take as much salary as 26,03 mil in exchange.
At the same time, our trade partner would have an incoming salary of $ 32,415,391 (due to poison pill provision of Myles) and would need to ship out a minimum of 25,85 mil to facilitate a trade.
So trading out a combination of Collison, McDermott and Turner would absolutely require the incoming salaries to match that minuscule range of 25,85-26,03 million dollars. Not more, not less.
IMO, complications are so huge that it is safe to state that no matter with whom we are going to move towards the future - Myles will definitely be here for whole 2018-19. Talking about trading him this season shall remain utterly stupid.

Don't care about trading him right now just bench him.
No, as we gave the extension we must keep playing him. Maybe out of bench role but close to 24 minutes per game in any case... That's the only way we can ever hope to be able to trade him.
I don't think they are trading him unless they take on another bad contract, at this point we can hope he become Ian Mahinmi 2.0 that's it.
Wow. I was not aware that's how it worked. I thought his incoming salary would only be $3,410,284 however the team receiving him would have to find a way to clear salary to cover his $18 million for next season.
This would make it a little trickier to move him.
OH NO! He's 22 and not averaging 30 ppg - TRADE HIM! Look... Myles I think will be fine and in order to accelerate that process, this team needs to get a new point guard. Point guards are the straw that stirs the drink. Without a decent point to get him the ball in the right spots and soon enough to be effective? He will struggle - as will this team. Collison is a good player but at this stage in his career he is not staring PG material unless someone is injured and out for a few games.
You also have to realize that Myles has to develop on his own because he doesn't have the ESPN/NBA hype machine behind him. Which allows him to play a certain way and get away with fouls, travels and all other sorts of nonsense. Thus - he actually has to do the hard work of developing his game, unlike other bigs (Embiid for example) who're just 'gifted' everything by NBA politics.
Yeah, but it makes sense otherwise you could easily circumvent the salary cap rules more easily.
. . . . . Myles . .. . . doesn't have the ESPN/NBA hype machine behind him. Which allows him to play a certain way and get away with fouls, travels and all other sorts of nonsense..
You think it would help if he got an ESPN Insider membership ??
So, on to the more important question. When can we start entertaining a trade. Draft day? Next summer? We have got to lock up Domas. I will cry bitterly if we lose Domas.
We're not losing Domas. Unlike half this board, he actually likes playing alongside Myles. They practiced together over the summer. One day Nate will be forced to start Domas at PF and that's when we're going to take the next step as a team.
