#19 PHX-MIL

PHX trades:

Michael Beasley 6,000,000
#21 (via GSW)

MIL trades:

Epke Udoh 4,469,548


no need for matching salaries, after waiving the capholds of Samuel Dalembert, JJ Redick, Mike Dunleavy, Joel Pryzbilla, Marquis Daniels and amnestying Gooden, MIL has a ton of capspace.

Why? We got what we wanted. An exp for Beasley+#21...

Agreed. Both teams got what they wanted. PHX receives the expiring and we take a chance on Beasley while also adding the 21st pick in the draft.

Approved, update!

#20 PHX-MIL

PHX trades:

Kendall Marshall 2,005,560
Jeremy Evans 1,660,257

= 3,665,817

MIL trades:

Ish Smith 951,463

no need for matching salaries, after waiving the capholds of Samuel Dalembert, JJ Redick, Mike Dunleavy, Joel Pryzbilla, Marquis Daniels and amnestying Gooden, MIL has a ton of capspace.

Why? We got what we wanted.

We have tons of cap space and yet again, Phoenix gets what they want and that is an expiring deal. We bring in young talent that we feel can contribute in a big way. We're high on Marshall especially since the state of Brandon Jennings is still up in the air.

Approved

Trade #22:

Portland trades:
Minnesota's 2013 2nd [#39]
Portland's 2013 2nd [#40]

Miami trades:
$1, 129, 200 - Norris Cole

Deal. Portland has more than enough cap space to absorb this.
Cole is a fantastic backup PG and energy player. Can play behind and alongside Lillard if needed in a smaller lineup.

Nice dealing.

Deal accepted we have PG depth save a little
money and have some international players we would like to target.

Approved

[MadNESS]

Trade #21:

Portland sends:
$2, 222, 160 - Meyers Leonard
Boston's 2013 2nd [#45]

Charlotte sends:
$2, 000, 000 - Brendan Haywood
Portlands Pick Returned

Deal.
We do this to get more flexibility. Im sure Leonard will be a fine player in the future but him being a project we wanted a bit of cheap experience at backup C. Haywood recorded 3.5 points 4.8 boards and 0.8 blocks in just under 20 minutes which is more than what we would ask for. Nice dealing.

Approved

[MadNESS]

#17 OKC-PHX

1)

OKC trades:

Thabo Sefolosha 3,900,000

PHX trades:

Luis Scola 4,508,504
#30 (via MIA)

3,900,000 * 1,25 = 4,875,000,000

2)

OKC trades:

Maynor TPE 2,338,721

PHX:

Markieff Morris 2,091,840

Why? Thabo is the perfect 3-and-D-guy.

Accepted. Thabo was going to expire and we might not have resigned him. This gives us more depth in the frontcourt and a late pick.

Approved

[MadNESS]

The Sacramento Kings and Toronto Raptors have come to a deal.

DeMarcus Cousins 4,916,973
#7 Overall Pick
#36 Overall Pick

for

Jonas Valanciunas 3,526,440
Terrence Ross 2,678,640

Accepted. Negotiation talks were fun.

Approved, update them

Trade 24: MIN/CHA

MIN Sends
Enes Kanter - $4,505,280
Alexey Shved - $3,066,667
Channing Frye - $6,400,000
Total: $13,971,947

CHA Sends
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - $4,602,720
Ben Gordon - $13,200,000
2014 DET 1st
Total: $17,802,720

MIN has over $5m in cap space to make this deal happen, and it falls within 150% rule as well.

Wolves agree. We felt MKG for Kanter was an even trade. We hope that the 2014 pick can outperform Shved, and we think swapping Frye out for Gordon was a massive coup.

Nice dealing CHA!

Charlotte accepts to get a great duo of Kanter-Len as well as a nice asset in Shved

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#26

Houston in / Cleveland out:
2013 picks #31 and #33
2014 Sacramento 1st (real-world protections - top-12 2014, top-10 2015, etc.)
2014 Cleveland 2nd

Cleveland in / Houston out:
Rights to Cody Zeller (#9 pick)
#14 pick
Terrence Jones - $1,551,840

Cleveland has cap space to absorb the salary of Jones.

Cleveland accepts. I like the talent coming in and I think the main asset going out, the Sacramento pick, won't move for a few years.

Clearing quite a bit of cap space in this deal. I do lose value, but I'm getting a pretty good future pick.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#27 - Denver & Memphis

Memphis Sends:
Zach Randolph - $17,800,000
Ed Davis - $3,153,860
Tony Wroten - $1,160,040
2014 MEM 1st
2013 MEM 2nd
Total - $22,113,900

Denver Sends:
Danilo Gallinari - $10,146,925
Anthony Randolph - $1,750,000
Andre Miller - $5,000,000
Julian Stone - $762,195
Total - $17,659,120
x1.25 + $100,000 - $22,173,900

Memphis accepts. A little bit of an overpay, but we like the direction this sends our team in. We get a young starting SF and clear some space.

One of the better back-and-forths I've had DEN - great dealing.

You're a great GM man! Great fun dealing with you. I complete my team minus PG and get some good depth. Love it.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#28
Bucks - Raptors

Bucks send:
Mbah a Moute 4,588,384
Henson 1,905,360
Pick #21
Total : 6,493,744

Raptors send:
DeRozan 9,500,000

Total 9,500,000

In Henson/Sanders we have similar players, so we decided to flip one and pick up one of the up and coming young SG's in Demar. And to potentially pair him up with childhood friend Jennings.

Confirmed. Lots of emails sent back and forth, but that's what makes the process enjoyable. Good dealings.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#25


Jazz and Wizards have a deal



UTH Trade:
Thomas Robinson $3,526,440

Total: $3,526,440


WAS Trade:
WAS 2015 1st


Clearing cap like a boss

Washington accepts, have 4.7 mill in cap to absorb Robinson, he's only played 1 year and was the 5th pick, we think he will develop nicely

Approved. Update.

Trade # 29 Indiana and Mia

Indiana trades

PG George Hill 8,000,000
SG Lance Stephensen 981,349
Total 8,981,349

Mia
PG Ty Lawson 10,786,517

8981349X 1.25+11,233,000 > 10,786,516

Hill is a solid playoff tested PG but we really like Stephensen who provides tough D.

Accept. Lawson's a clear upgrade for me at the point. Coming off a 17ppg, 7apg, 2spg season and a 21ppg, 8apg, 2spg post season, we think he's the attacking, offensive minded PG we need. Also only 25 years old, fits in well with George and Hibbert, who are 23 and 26.

Approved. Update.

[MadNESS]

#30: Lakers and Charlotte

Lakers Send:

Goran Dragic: $7,500,000
Jordan Hill: $3,563,600

Total: $11,063,600

Charlotte Sends:

Kemba Walker: $2,709,720
Bismack Biyombo: $3,217,680

Total: $5,927,400

Charlotte's cap space absorbs the difference in contracts, a TPE worth $5,136,200 is created for LAL, and as we are over the hard cap, we take in less salary than we send.

Lakers like this for a couple of reasons. Biyombo is a little more raw than Hill, but we feel that he can learn the trade of being a top big man from Pau and Howard. Kemba is the same kind of player Dragic is, just a little more raw, and younger, but we feel his ceiling is much higher, and he's on a smaller contract.

LA is committed to resigning Dwight, and we're picking up the pieces to show him that.

Charlotte does this simply because we like Dragic more than Kemba

Approved update.

Chuck Hayes - $5, 722, 500

For

Danny Green - $3, 762, 500

Pleasure dealing!

Yep. Getting a potential good pick in a deep talented draft to help out on the rebuild-on-the-fly.

Good working with ya! Good luck.

Make sure these crazy protections are noted on all roster pages involved.

SMH approved, update.

Trade #32

Chicago Sends - $21,825,000
Luol Deng - 14,275,000
Taj Gibson - 7,550,000

LAC Sends - $21,613,023
Deandre Jordan - 10,986,550
Caron Butler - 8,000,000
Eric Bledsoe - 2,626,473
2014 1st Rounder


Thanks for the deal, we do it because we wanted to add another all star, we didn't like Jordan's contract at all. Taj Gibson is a nice role player to have.

Deal Agreed.

Chicago does this as it is time for Deng to move on, we get Caron in the meantime. Exciting young PG Eric Bledsoe who will be just as exciting as Derrick Rose when on the court. And we get a true centre in the deal in DeAndre who will partner Faried excellently. 2014 pick helps in our aim to obtain franchise player next draft.

Approved update.

#33


Williams - 5,016,960
Lee - 884,293
26
Total: 5,901,253*1.5=8,851,880

Thompson - 5,643,750
Brown - 2,945,901
#35, #42
Total: 8,589,651

MIN accepts. More picks and we like Thompson

Accept

Phew got that one in last minute. I've been out all day so working deals were tough. Got rid of Kwame and got back into the first round to select Bullock. Bullock fills the need as a shooter off the bench, which is much needed.

Derrick Williams is a good young prospect, but one of the runner ups (#2) picks need to go. Still will field offers for Turner/Williams.

Approved. Next time please state the full players name, as there are quite a few Williams' and Thompsons'.
Thanks.

#34

Toronto OUTGOING - 17,888,931
Rudy Gay - 17,888,931

Brooklyn OUTGOING - 19,727,280
Kris Humphries 12,000,000
World Peace 7,727,280

brk accepts......Gay is OVERPAID but hes young and thats the route im going so he works.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#35

Detroit sends

Greg Monroe - $4,086,454

to Golden State for

Draymond Green - $875,000
David Lee - $13,878,000
Harrison Barnes - $2,923,920

Detroit has a ridiculous amount of cap space to make it happen.

Giving up a lot of value here, but really, really, really like Monroe. He's probably the second best PF prospect behind Anthony Davis and can help us win now and in the future.

Good deal, Ness.

Accepted...
Why?
Highway robbery. If anyone watched the playoffs this year, Barnes is the real deal. Barnes for Monroe is an even trade of good prospects, then you and in David Lee, the Allstar and Green who is a great do it all hustling role player who can play the 3,4 and 5 spots effectively and was also closing game for the warriors this year. Green is on such a cheap deal as well. We eat up some cap space, but well worth it. Three great peices for one, you can't pass that up. Good dealing Dan. Thanks.

Edit- thanks Klomp for adding the salaries for Dan before I accepted it ; )

Approved. Please update your rosters.

[Karmaloop]

#36: MIN-WAS

WAS Trades: Kevin Garnett ($12,433,735), 2014 PHI 1st (if 1-14)
MIN Trades: Derrick Favors ($6,008,196), JJ Barea ($4,687,000) = 10,695,196 *1.5 = more than 12.4m

Why for MIN?



Oh yeah, and a 2014 1st that has a good chance of being top 5.

Wizards accept,If the pick ends up being wiggins ill regret it but favors is a beast , fits in with our core and only like 22

Approved. Please update your rosters.

Trade 39
Thunder and Wolves come to terms

OKC sends - Jeremy Lamb $2,111,160 and #32 - Ricky Ledo $575,000 and OKC 2015 1st lotto protected; to
MIN for Gordon Hayward - $3,452,183

OKC $2,686,160 X 1.5 = 4,029,290 > $3,452,183 and OKC remains under the Tax after the deal so it works under CBA

OKC needed to clear roster space and had 2 expiring SG - so when Minnesota targeted Lamb for Hayward this was an easy deal to agree to. We get a proven, high quality SG to pair with our already potent lineup. It is tough to trade in Lamb's potential on a rookie deal - but Hayward has 2 years left on his rookie deal. Both Gordon and our pick at 29 - Glen Rice Jr can both play either the SG or SF as needed and gives the Thunder some of the best wings in the league (along with KD). Great dealing Josh - Glad you liked Lamb and we got your draft target in Ledo...

Wolves accept.

We liked Hayward, but didn't like that we were going to have to pay him next summer. Instead, we got Lamb who's early in his rookie deal with loads of potential and a high 2nd which we used on one of our favorite prospects in the draft. I considered taking Ledo at 26. High ceiling.

Approved. Please update your rosters.
