GMAT: March Madness Edition: Trades & Transactions

#28 Minnesota and San Antonio have a trade:

Minnesota sends: Gerald Henderson($2,250,600) + Anthony Tolliver($2,050,000) 2013 Portland 1st(top 12 protected) = $4,300,600

San Antonio sends: Manu Ginobili($12,981,038)

Minnesota has just around $10m in caproom to absorb the difference in salaries.

Minnesota accepts. Even though we get a lot older, Manu is still a great SG and he can help our team try to win now as well.

Spurs accept. Dumping salary by acquiring more young players plus a 1st round pick is icing on the cake. Seeing all the veterans leave that brought the dynasty in San Antonio is tough, but have to re-build to hope for long-term success.

PHI and LAL have a trade to announce.

PHI outgoing:
Dwight Howard $18,091,770
Anderson Varejao $7,700,000
Ronnie Brewer $4,710,000
total: $30,501,770

LAL outgoing;
Kobe Bryant $25,244,493
Brook Lopez $3,076,983
Josh McRoberts $3,000,000
Matt Barnes $1,906,200
total: $33,227,676

Dwight probably wants to play in a big market so we grant him that. In return we get an MVP candidate, averaging 29/6/5. Kobe is a closer. Lopez is another piece we really like, and the other two are hard working role players.

Lakers accept.

It was tough parting ways with Kobe Bryant whose helped lead the Lakers to five championships with his Lakers but his combination of age (33), contract (over 83.5 million over the next three years), and mileage made it too tough to build around him, but we are thrilled he could finish his career in his hometown. We get a new franchise player in Dwight Howard who will lead the Lakers to many more titles. Varejao is a guy we think highly of and will be a great fit next to Dwight Howard. Ronnie Brewer is another wing defender to add to the mix as well.

#30: CHARLOTTE AND CLEVELAND

Charlotte Bobcats send:
$9,000,000 - Boris Diaw
$7,305,785 - Tyrus Thomas
$2,798,040 - Bismack Biyombo

Cleveland Cavaliers send:
$15,076,715 - Antawn Jamison
$00,854,389 - Vladimir Radmanovic
$00,762,195 - Luke Harangody

CHA total outgoing- $19,103,825
CLE total outgoing - $16,693,299

Deal.
Sucks giving up Bismack, but getting Jamison's expiring for Thomas is going to help me A LOT.

#31

Knicks and Rockets have a trade

NY sends
P.Pierce $15,333,334

HOUSTON sends
Kevin Martin $11,519,840
Luis Scola $8,591,793
raised the protection on the 2012 NY 1st from top 5 protected to top 20 protected (if NY is some how is not a top 10 team, Houston would then recieve the 2012, 2013 and 2014 NY 2nd round picks to complete the debt owed on the pick)
totals $20,111,633 (under $5mil so it works)

NY wanted to get deeper and younger so we parted with the AS to get Kevin who I think is a great fit and Scola who the peeps in NY will love. The pick returned is a fun twist.

Cavs agree, we get some value for expirings

Houston accepts. We now have a 2 way difference maker at our (formerly) weakest position, and our ample pf depth covers up the lose of Scola. Gaining almost 5 million in cap space and shortening Scola's contract a year are further benefits.

Kings Trade:

J.J. Hickson (2,354,537)
Isiah Thomas (473,604)
2012 2nd rd pick

Total: $2,828,140 (Kings have a payroll of 46.5 mil)


Cavs Trade:

Tyrus Thomas (7,305,785)

Total: $7,305,785


Kings made this move to bring in a player who compliments DeMarcus' game very well. His shotblocking and athleticism will fit nicely with this team.

Cavs agree...TT makes too much for his level of production. We love Isiah's game off the bench and welcome home JJ Hickson.

#23 CHARLOTTE AND DALLAS

Charlotte Bobcats send:
$3,315,000 - Matt Bonner

Dallas Mavericks send:
$854,389 - Yi Jianlian
$854,389 - Brian Cardinal
$855,120 - Sean Williams

$2,563,898 - Total

My previous deal freed up the roster spot available for this deal.

Matt Bonner is a nice role player to have on a championship team who could use some shooting. Charlotte is far from a championship team. So we get some cheap (expirings) from this deal. Nice dealing.

Mavs accept. We hate all 3 of the players we gave and kinda like Bonner

Deal #33 PHI and LA Clips

LA
Deandre Jordan 10,000,000
Caron Butler 8,000,000
Mo Williams 8,500,000
tot 26,500,000

PHI
Brook Lopez 3,000,000
Joe Johnson 18,000,000
Josh Mc Roberts 3,000,000
tot 24,000,000

26,500,000-24,000,000 is 25000000>5000000

We Lopez is a 20 pt scorer in the post. Josh Mc Rob is also frontcourt depth.

Deal #33 PHI and LA Clips

LA
Deandre Jordan $10,079,404
Caron Butler $8,000,000
Mo Williams $8,500,000
total $26,579,404

PHI
Brook Lopez $3,076,983
Joe Johnson $18,038,573
Josh McRoberts 3,000,000
total $24,115,556

We Lopez is a 20 pt scorer in the post. Josh Mc Rob is also frontcourt depth.

Jordan is 8/8/2.7 blks on great defense and is only 23 yrs old. I prefer him to Lopez, more of a traditional center. Butler is a starting SF that can defend and Mo Williams is averaging 14/2/4 on 47% FG and 40% from 3. He actually fits better beside Kobe, so I may have to move Parker.

JK. As noted, helps clear a spot out. Ford would've been bought out had this not happened.

I just wanted to add to this, that Houston submits its paperwork as (from its side) 2 trades, Martin for PP (works within 50% and 5 million and they were under the cap before and after), and then Scola for a TPE, effectively creating a TPE of 8.59 million instead of one for the 4+ million straight salary difference. Will this matter? Almost definitely not! But unless I bungled something with the rules here, we will list the TPE as such.

Trade #36: Los Angeles Lakers - Dallas Mavericks

Los Angeles Lakers Receive:
SF Shawn Marion (8,022,449)
2012 2nd Round Pick (returned)

Dallas Mavericks Receive:
PG Darius Morris (473,604)
SF Metta World Peace (6,790,640)

Lakers accept.

MWP is absolutely useless in real life with the Lakers as he can't shoot and he can't defend the more athletic small forwards. We get a much better SF in Marion all at the exchange of giving up Morris and getting our second round pick back.

Will this matter? Almost definitely not! But unless I bungled something with the rules here, we will list the TPE as such.

you are correct, technically that is how real TPEs are created, the trade is how its posted, but for the TP you are correct as long as the KMart for PP part is legal (it is) you can list the TPE for Scol's exact salary

note: from the NY side, they do not get a tpe for pp/kmart part because for NY it needed to done together.

[HartfordWhalers]

Nice. A year from now my gm a team fans will wonder why i didn't get a pick fro that TPE, and complain about management.
