GM a TEAM 11/12 - Trade Approvals

[roc]

Trade 18.

Utah and Atlanta have a trade to announce:

Utah receives:
Kirk Hinrich (8,100,000)
Jeff Teague (1,579,920)
= 9,679,920


Atlanta receives:
Devin Harris (9,319,000)

Utah accepts. We think this is a pretty good return for a player that we just don't see in our future -- Harris. We get a young PG that showed in the playoffs he can be a starter in Jeff Teague. We also got a very solid vet PG in Kirk Hinrich who can help contribute for us off the bench and be a great mentor for this team. Good dealings ATL, very smooth!

TRADE #19

New Orleans Hornets receive:
PG Jerryd Bayless ($3,042,280)

Toronto Raptors receive:
SF Quincy Pondexter ($1,153,800)


TRADE #20
New Orleans Hornets receive:
SF Linas Kleinza ($4,605,000)

Toronto Raptors receive:
Traded Player Exception ($4,605,000) (Peja Stojakovic)

Raptors agree to both these trades. Trade #19 works because NOLA has the avaialble cap room. We clear valuable roster spots and cap and get a young prospect in Pondexter.

Detroit Pistons

total = 15 143 480

for


Anderson Varejao - 7 950 000
Ramon Sessions - 4 257 974

total = 12 207 974
----------------------------------------------------------------------
reasons: Cavaliers do not have any need for role players right now, what they need are potential superstar talents. That said, Valanciunas is potential superstar with his length, motor, mobility, work ethic and his ability to dominate a game offensively and defensively. Although he won't be here this year, we won't be competing for anything this year anyway, so what the hell

PDX and PHX have a trade to announce.

PDX outgoing:
Gerald Wallace $9,500,000
Raymond Felton $7,560,000
total: $17,060,000

PHX outgoing:
Steve Nash $11,689,062
Jared Dudley $4,250,000
Robin Lopez - $2,862,602
total: $18,801,664

Nash is still an elite player (15/11 on 50/40/90), and we feel a Nash/Wade backcourt is the best in the league. Dudley is a nice fit at SF, an elite defender and 3 point shooter he will be our Bowen. Lopez is good Oden insurance.

The Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio Spurs have a blockbuster deal to announce.

The Clippers Receive:
SF Kawhi Leonard ($1,488,400)
PF Tiago Splitter ($3,650,000)
C Antonio McDyess ($5,220,000)
Total Salary: $10,358,400

The Spurs Receive:
C DeAndre Jordan ($12,000,000)

$10,358,400 x 1.25 +.1 = $13,048,000

The Clippers accept.

While it's extremely hard to part ways with DeAndre Jordan, whom we believe will be a 20/10 player very soon. Unfortunately, he won't be there with Kendrick Perkins blocking him. We get a very good package for him. I personally thought Kawhi Leonard was a top 5 prospect in this past draft, so getting him was pure gold. I've liked Splitter since he was a draft prospect, and the Spurs seem to think highly of him. And McDyess is a great veteran to have around.

P.S. DeAndre Jordan isn't BYC because the Clippers are under the cap.

P.S.S. Roc, I'll get my roster updated as soon as this post is finalized.

Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves have a trade to announce:

Houston IN/Minnesota OUT: Darko Millicic ($4,776,500)

Minnesota IN/Houston OUT: Courtney Lee, Terrance Williams ($4,594,133)


Houston accepts. We needed a C and Darko fits the bill. We feel he can continue to improve on his last season and a half, and become a solid starting C for us.

#24 - The Hornets and Mavericks have agreed to a deal

Hornets outgoing:

TPE (947,907) of Darren Collison TPE (see roster)

Hornets incoming:

Ian Mahinmi - 947,907

Mavericks outgoing:

Ian Mahinmi - 947,907

Mavericks incoming:

TPE (947,907) of Darren Collison TPE (see roster)

Hornets accept. We pretty much sealed CP3 re-signing with this move. Ha..ha. But seriously, Ian is a guy I've had my eyes on for a few seasons now and I feel all he's really needed was playing time. Well, he will get it in New Orleans..no not really, but the thought was a kind gesture right?

SG Stephen Graham ($1,106,941)
2012 2nd RND (CHI)
2015 2nd RND

New Jersey receives:
Cap Space

Raptors agree. We get a couple assets in the 2nd RND picks, and a nice scoring option off the bench in Farmar. Deal works because I have nearly $20 million in cap space.

Edited to correct the fact that I have to be over the cap to use TPE

Atlanta and San Antonio have agreed a trade.

Atlanta Trades

Joe Johnson - $18,038,573
Josh Smith - $12,500,000

= $30,548,573 (*1.25 + $100k = $38.2m)

San Antonio Trades

Manu Ginobili - $12,981,037
Tim Duncan - $21,164,619

Atlanta does this to contend. The window gets shorter (maybe one or two years) but after that we still have Horford to build around. High Risk/High reward

#28: LAL, NJN and TOR have a trade to announce:

Part 1:

TO LAL:
Anthony Morrow ($4,000,000)
Johan Petro ($3,250,000)
2014 NJ 1st

Total: 7,250,000

TO NJN:
Ron Artest ($6,790,640)

Total: 6,790,640 * 1.25 + 100,000 = 8,588,300


Part 2:

TO LAL:
Solomon Alabi ($830,000)
Daniel Gibson ($4,403,834)

Total: 5,233,824

TO CLE:
Johan Petro ($3,250,000)
Darius Morris ($473,604)
Derrick Caracter ($788,872)
2014 NJ 1st

Total: 4,512,476 * 1.25 + 100,000 = 5,740,595


Both parts of the deal work.

LAL accept. We turn Artest into some much needed shooting help. Gibson is a great 3 PT threat from the PG, and Morrow is lined up to be one of the best shooters in the league soon. Artest is also arguably a bad contract, so to get some young guys for him is great. Alabi get my front court beefier. Nice dealing guys.

MIN Outgoing: 20,898,821 (*1.25 = 26,123,526)
PHO Outgoing: 22,803,602

Minnesota ACCEPTS! We are ecstatic to bring a top-5 talent to Minnesota who is signed longterm. Wade grew up in Chicago and went to school in Wisconsin, so he is used to cold winters. Dudley and Lopez provide solid young backups for a team that just lost three of its best players.
