LAL-PHI-DET: Drummond to LAL

LAL trades: Wood, Reddish, 2nd
LAL gets: Drummond

PHI trades: Drummond, KJ Martin, 2nd
PHI gets: Reddish, 2nd

DET trades: 2nd
DET gets: KJ Martin, Christian Wood, 2 2nds

Why? LAL gets a C for cheap, PHI saves money and a roster spot for Edwards, DET gets a young player and all expirings plus an additional 2nd for the service

Not sure KJ Martin is the best use of our cap. Not really a player who adds much for us.

Turns out he is!

The trade to take KJ for 2 SRPs may end up being part of a bigger deal, or it may be the second deal, using our room exception, after we have used up our cap space. We'll know for sure which in the next 27 hours.

Heh, I stand by my analysis. :-P

Not sure that was the best use of our cap. That said, if there's another move in the works, yeah, sounds like it might use the exception rather than actually using our cap. At least we didn't bring Wood back.
