As per nerds on LG

"It also explains the reason AC signed for roughly 1m short of the fMLE.

If that's the case, Theis's 4y/36m deal fits into the Dipo 8.3m TPE with Theis starting at 8.4m (TPE value + 100k = legal trade).

At that point, Chicago used the rights of Theis to conduct a S&t to Houston and creates a 8.4m TPE themselves.

That's where AC at 8.5m starting slides into and that would give us a 8.5m TPE that would bring in a 8.6m player on an established deal any time during the season.

TPEs don't prorate over the season and it also doesn't ensue a tax. Fans win...Jeanie's purse wins."
