San Antonio and Houston have a deal to announce.

San Antonio Trades:

Manu Ginobili ($9,905,248)
Drew Gooden ($1,400,000)
2009 2nd Round Pick (HOUSTON)

Houston Trades:

Shane Battier ($6,373,900)
Luis Scola ($3,100,667)

Houston Max Incoming: $11,843,209
Houston Actual Incoming: $11,305,248

San Antonio Max Incoming: $14,131,560
San Antonio Actual Incoming: $9,474,567

SA Reasoning: Manu is a huge impact player, possibly the best player off the bench in the league, but San Antonio is looking to rebuild and Scola a great piece to do that with, while Battier is a very nice trade chip for building in the future.

It sucks losing Manu, but we feel that Scola makes Duncan more moveable, and Battier will fill his role nicely.

Trade approved, please update your rosters.

Pending approval of previos TOR trade w/ DET, Milwaukee and Toronto have reached an agreement:

Milwaukee trades:
Michael Redd $15,780,000
Richard Jefferson $13,200,000

Toronto trades:
Shawn Marion $17,810,000
Damien Wilkins $3,100,000
Joey Graham $2,449,184
Nathan Jawai $442,114
2010 PHI 1st (top 5 protected)

MIL gives: 28,980,000
TOR gives: 23,801,298
23,801,298 * 1.25 + 100,000 = 29,851,622.50 > 28,980,000

Before the trade occurs, Milwaukee waives Eddie Gill and Keith Bogans.

Why for Milwaukee? We are giving up two talented players, but they are both overpaid for what they provide. We drop way below the 2009-2010 salary cap and add a pick to help with rebuilding. We are trying to increase our flexibility and this trade opens up a lot more options going forward.

Trade approved, please update your rosters.

The Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns have agreed to a trade.

Miami sends:

Jamario Moon- $711,517
Luther Head- $1,962,378
2010 TOR 1st (with protections)

Total: $2,673,895

Phoenix sends:

Grant Hill- $1,976,400
Matt Barnes- $797,581

Total: $2,773,981

Math works obviously.

Miami accepts this deal. We give up some future considerations here and it's sad to see Moon leave, but Barnes and Hill can give our bench an extra push in our title bid.

phoenix accepts

reasoning? and where the **** is your roster page info other than player names?

To follow up my Dally dump..DET and PHO have a blockbuster to announce.

DET INCOMING:
Amare Stoudemire-$15,070,550
Leandro Barbosa-$6,100,000

for

Thaddeus Young-$1,968,120
Allen Iverson-$20,840,625

DET is happy to add our PF of the future in Amare. He is fits in our 'young' movement at age 27, and we feel he will like this team and our direction and plan on signing him to a multi-year extension this offseason. Leandro will be our 6th man and is good value at 6 mill. We take a risk giving up a young stud in thad (who is locked in to his rookie contract for a few more years) and the huge expiring of A.I, but we feel that a Stucky/Iggy/Amare core can both compete now and be a force in this league for years to come. We still have two first rounders in the upcoming draft to either draft a center and SF, or trade for one. PHO did well, seeings as Amare wasn't resigning in PHO in a year.

pistons aquire: amare, and barbosa

suns aquire: thad young, allen iverson, 2010 first rounder


i am rebuilding this roster around young players and thad young has a great future. also i got a 20 million dollar expiring

so the trade isn't going through since both teams have accepted a different trade.

Although I am sure we didn't discuss my 2010 first, sure throw it in.

pistons acquire: amare, and barbosa

suns acquire: thad young, allen iverson, 2010 first rounder

Fine by me. Do I have to wait another 24 hours now or can you approve? The 24 hours has passed, this is just a technicality.

There were veto requests, and I took them under deliberation, but I decided to let this one go through because of
1. Everyone knows that Phoenix hates the luxury tax, and this definitely gets them below their. (Also, I think this is a trade that Phoenix may actually do in real life since they save something like 20 million dollars next year and get a young player with loads of potential in young)
2. Kind of goes with #1 but I firmly believe that Phoenix will do whatever they can to get below the luxury tax line this summer since they will not want to pay the luxury tax for a non-playoff team.
3. Amare has had his share of injury concerns
4. IMO the chances of Amare staying in Phoenix are slim, he will want to go somewhere that he gets lots of money and somewhere that he could win, right now it looks like several teams will have money to offer him a max deal, and some definitely have more quality young players than Phoenix does, so he could definitely bolt in free agency and it's better to get something for him than nothing
5. Other GM's were also upset about Barbosa being in the deal as well, but which has more value cap space or Barbosa on a long-term deal (Camby was traded for cap-space and cap-space probably is more valuable now than it was last year because of the economy); I think Barbosa has a little bit more value than cap-space but there isn't a huge difference.
6. the 1st rounder in 2010 from detroit, detroit is rebuilding thus this pick could end up being fairly high
7. as stated in #2, phoenix missed the playoffs thus it probably is time to rebuild their old team and lots of cap space and 2 good young players (young and 1st rounder) is a start

-with any other team, I'd probably would have leaned towards not letting it through, but with phoenix's history of cutting salary it makes sense for them in a way. I think that Phoenix should trade amare since there's a good chance of him bolting in free agency and they aren't a playoff team now anyway; I do think that Phoenix could have gotten more for him (but I don't know what kind of offers phoenix's GM got, this could have been the best one and he took it)

The New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns have come to an agreement on a trade

New York Trades
Mike Bibby $14,983,603

Phoenix Trades
Steve Nash $12,250,000
$12,250,000 x 1.25 + 100,000 = 15,412,500


New York Welcomes Steve Nash and is glad to reunite him with Mike Dantoni.

I don't think Phoenix has accepted this trade yet unless I missed it somewhere, but instead of waiting for him to accept (don't know if he will or not); but this trade has been vetoed.

-Phoenix can't even argue cap savings in this deal since Nash's contract is unguaranteed next year anyway and they could release him for nothing anyway.
-And I don't really want to veto a 1 for 1 trade since people value different players differently, but
1. nash is a 2x MVP, 6x all star, 3x all nba 1st team, 1x all nba 2nd team (last year), 2x all nba 3rd team
while I don't think bibby has ever even been an all-star
2. IMO and I think in most people's opinions, nash is still a top 5 PG in the league while bibby is outside of the top 10.

-unless Phoenix can give a really good reason why he did this trade, this trade has been vetoed.

The spurs get a pick and a solid prospect in Batum, as well as a great young player on a very good contract in west, while adding a real center in Z and solid scorer in pierce.

To anyone who complains about this trade, should have f*cking offered more for Parker.

The Indiana Pacers and Phoenix Suns have agreed upon a deal.

The Indiana Pacers send Raymond Felton ($4,148,715), 2010 Indiana First Round pick, 2010 Dallas Second Round Pick, Travis Diener ($1,620,000), and Rasho Nesterovic ($8,400,000) for Steve Nash ($12,250,000) and Alando Tucker($1,001,880).

IIND Total Incoming: $13,251,880
PHX Total Incoming: $14,168,715

Indiana accepts, while we hate to give up picks and youth especially when our original plan was to go with a youth movement, we felt we couldn't pass on Nash who will give us a stabilizing veteran presense at the PG position.

Ok thanks. It would help me if people stopped trying to veto my trades, I have to wait the full 24 hours to make sure it goes through. But its a right GM's have I guess.

Prior to the trade New York Waives Joe Crawford
New York Accepts, while Ray Allens stint here was short, the whole purpose obtaining him was to get more picks in this draft class. There are a lot of players who are declaring too early for the draft and are going to go late, in 2 years in the NBA could be great players. Also Odom is another big which i needed badly.
