I would be shocked if the Clippers use their TPE simply because they are already over the Luxury tax line prior to using the TPE. They are currently on a 3.5x luxury tax multiplier which means adding Rudy Gay would cost the Clippers nearly $25 mil in salary+tax. Especially considering that I am not sure how many minutes Gay plays behind Leonard, George, Covington, and Morris Sr.

Secondly, for the Suns, it makes very little sense to bring in Bogdonavich who costs $9 mil dollars more in salary (+ Luxury tax as Phoenix is already over the tax line) than Crowder AND have to give up a first-round pick? Yea, that's an easy pass.
