OK, New Orleans and Atlanta Hawks have a blockbuster trade lined up. It's a little complicated, so here goes;
1. Mo Evans - $2,500,000 to NOH for Hilton Armstrong TPE ($2.8m) (or MoPete TPE, doesn't matter)
2. Josh Powell to NOH for nothing (min salary)
3. Sylven Landesberg to NOH Bobby Brown TPE ($736k)
Takes NOH up to 15 players, Atlanta down to 12. Now for the follow up...
New Orleans Trades:
Eric Gordon $3,016,680
Brandan Wright $3,398,072
Andre Miller $7,269,264
Zydraunus Ilgauskus $1,352,181
Philadelphia 2011 1st
New Jersey 2013 1st
Total Outgoing = $15,036,197 - x1.25 + $100,000 = $18,895,246 - greater than incoming salary
Atlanta Trades:
Tim Duncan - $18,835,381
incoming is less than outgoing - the deal works.
Why for New Orleans?
Simply put, we couldn't resist the opportunity to bring Tim Duncan in. We feel he and Pau Gasol will become the most dominant front court in the NBA.
There is no consolation prize. Winning is everything.
