Trade Explanation

If the Clippers ultimately need to give Paul George his full four-year max to keep the Philadelphia 76ers from poaching him, the savings here could go a long way. Remember, it's not just the $6.4 million difference between Powell's and Olynyk's salaries they're trimming; it's also the tax penalties that, depending on how far over the tax L.A. winds up being, can add an extra $4-5 per dollar spent.
