The Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to a trade.
Before the deal the Oklahoma City Thunder would like to sign Earl Barron to a one year minimum deal. ($854,389)
Chicago Outgoing / OKC Incoming:
Carlos Boozer $14,400,000
Brandon Roy $13,603,750
Jamario Moon $854,389 - (Minimum deal does not count in total)
Luke Harangody $473,604 - (Minimum deal does not count in total)
2011 2nd round pick from ATLANTA
Total: $28,003,750
Thunder Outgoing / Bulls Incoming:
Pau Gasol $17,823,000
Cole Aldrich $2,126,520
Ryan Anderson $1,409,040
Joe Smith $854,389
Josh Powell $854,389
Total: $23,067,338 x 1.25% + $100,000 = $28,934,173
Salaries WORK barely.
Roster Numbers Equal = (OKC 13 with signing, so he can trade 5 for 4) (CHI 14 and then 4 for 5 to 15)
Trade WORKS! All the way around!
Why?
We wanted to upgrade the PF spot badly. We feel Gasol is that upgrade. Boozer is a 20 / 10 guy everynight, but we feel Gasol has better defense as well as passing. We ABSOLUTELY HATE giving up Roy as your project / risk 6th man, because we feel that, not having to rely on him night in and night out, he could thrive, giving us a 6th man of the year candidate. We feel that ROY only works on a few teams, where he can be a 6th man and not have to carry the load, and OKC is deff. one of those teams. The rest are just fillers. We wish the best of luck to Boozer and Roy in OKC playing with KD and the boys. Good dealing Booz.
EDIT: Numbered the trade.
