1#
PHI and CLE have a trade to announce.

PHI outgoing:
Thaddeus Young $7,478,261
Nikola Vucevic $1,645,440
MEM 2012 2nd (if 55-60, the pick is void)
PHI 2012 2nd
3 mill cash
total: $9,123,701

CLE outgoing:
Anderson Varejao $7,700,000

AV is averaging 11/12 on elite defense. He can defend the pick and roll, he's a solid man defender and does all the little things on the other end.

Philly and Memphis trade:
Memphis outgoing: Rudy Gay
Philly Outgoing: Evan Turner/ Lou Williams/ Craig Brackins

PHI and MEM have a trade to announce.

PHI outgoing:
Louis Williams $5,176,000
Evan Turner $4,947,840
Craig Brackins $1,404,960
PHI 2012 1st (unprotected)
total: $11,528,800

MEM outgoing:
Rudy Gay $15,032,144

Gay is a star, a young small forward that can do it all. He is having a good season so far, and his range and offensive game fits nicely beside Iggy.

Cleveland Cavaliers agree. This was a hard trade to make as Andy is a one-of-a-kind player, but we are rebuilding and he deserves to go to a contender. We feel we get great value in return in Young and Vucevic. Good trading Philly.

PHI and MEM have a trade to announce.

PHI outgoing:
Louis Williams $5,176,000
Evan Turner $4,947,840
Craig Brackins $1,404,960
2012 PHI first (unprotected)
total: $11,528,800

MEM outgoing:
Rudy Gay $15,032,144

Memphis accepts, Evan Turner is a great player who has a high ceiling and is on a rookie deal, Lou is playing great this year and has been the 6th man of the year, also the Grizzlies shed 4 million dollars of cap space, also the first round pick is a really nice touch to top this trade off

#3 Minnesota and Denver have a trade:

Minnesota sends: Derrick Williams($4,602,720) + Nikola Pekovic($4,503,600) + Brad Miller($4,752,000) = $13,858,320 x 1.5 = $20,787,480 or + $5m = $18,858,320

Denver sends: Nene($13,000,000) + Rudy Fernandez($2,180,443) = $15,180,443

Trading D-will and Pek is really hard, but we really like Nene and think this really upgrades our center spot. Rudy will be a nice true SG to compliment our team with his shooting, plus him and Rubio play great together.

Trading D-will and Pek is really hard, but we really like Nene and think this really upgrades our center spot. Rudy will be a nice true SG to compliment our team with his shooting, plus him and Rubio play great together.

Denver accepts. We like Nene, but feel he isn't living up to his spendy contract. So we dealt him for the #2 pick last year who has a lot of potential and a replacement center who is almost putting up the same numbers as Nene, but in 10 fewer minutes per game and for 1/3rd of the yearly salary.

EDIT: Prior to making this deal, Denver waives DeMarre Carrol

Trade #4: MEM and ATL have a trade to announce:

Part 1:

To Atlanta:
Darrell Arthur ($2,027,119)
Evan Turner ($4,947,840)
Marc Gasol ($12,922,194)

Total: 19,897,153 * 1.5 + 100,000 = 29,945,730. Also within 5M

To Memphis:
Al Horford ($12,000,000)
Josh Smith ($12,400,000)
2012 PHX 2nd
1M cash

Total: 24,400,000

Deal works.


Part 2:

Jason Collins ($854,389) to Memphis. He's a min so it works.

ATL accepts. I save a bunch of money, and Gasol/Turner is too good to pass up. Wasn't getting great offers for any of my players, so to get a couple legit core pieces for them is a plus in my book. Arthur ain't bad either, 9/5 in limited minutes last year.

Memphis accepts; Horford for Gasol is basically a lateral move right now for both teams stats wise, but Horford is a younger player who's signed into his deal until he's 29 (which is basically for his prime), also the Grizz get a win now piece in Josh Smith who will bill a big void at the SF position.

Trade #5

Portland Send - $17,790,525
Gerald Wallace $9,500,000 ||$9,500,000
Wesley Matthews $6,135,160 || $6,505,320 || $6,875,480 || $7,245,640
Nicolas Batum $2,155,365 || $3,166,231

Golden State Send - $17,251,618

Ekpe Udoh $3,294,960 $3,524,880 $4,469,548 $5,962,377
Brandon Rush $2,956,658 $4,089,058


Thanks for the deal. Sorry to anyone who wanted to acquire Monta Ellis.

[JoebobLollipop]

Confirmed. Ellis and Curry made up one the smallest back courts, and now I have the luxury of bring players like Batum and D-Wright off my bench

#6

Toronto out / Denver in:
Demar Derozan - $2,625,000
Leandro Barbosa - $7,600,000
Total - $10,225,000

Denver out / Toronto in:
Danilo Gallinari - $4,190,182
Corey Brewer - $3,059,000
Total - not more than $7,249,182

Denver is under the luxury tax and can can take back 7249182 * 1.5 = 10,873,773, so the deal works

Toronto accepts. I like Gallo a lot.

Denver accepts. We really like the star potential and marketability DeRozan will bring to Denver. Gallinari was going to make too much money next year for our liking. We also swap a meh player for a nice large expiring in Barbosa.

TRADE #7

NY trades
C.Anthony $18,518,574
J.Lin $ 762,195
I.Shumpert $1,563,120
2013 NY 1st
totals: $20,843,889

BOSTON trades
Pierce $15,333,334
Rondo $10,045,455
totals: $25,378,789

NY's #1 goal was to get a top notch PG and we do that here, We give up the ultra hot Lin and a fan favorite in Shumpert plus our pick (and that melo guy) but really the PG, Pierce is older then i would like but still an All Star and can bring some needed toughness to this soft weak NY squad

Boston accepts (and cries a little bit). We get Melo and Lin. Lin can pass and shumpert can provide some energy off the bench. That melo guy was just asked to be thrown in to match the salaries otherwise Bill Walker is what we wanted and Knicks insisted that we take melo off his hands.

#8 Minnesota and San Antonio have a trade:

Minnesota sends: Michael Beasley($6,262,347) + Wayne Ellington($1,154,040) = $7,416,387

San Antonio sends: Kawhi Leonard($1,731,960) + Matt Bonner($3,315,000) + Gary Neal($762,195) = $5,809,155 x 1.5 = $8,713,732 (San Antonio team salary was at $73,158,034, + $1,607,232 = $74,765,266, so barely under the lux )

Minnesota accepts. We really like Kawhi as a future SF for us. Great on defense and very athletic. Neal should be a nice rotational SG that can drain the 3 off the bench as well.

San Antonio accepts. We feel Beasley brings a ton of the offensive side and will be given an opportunity to start unlike in Minnesota. As far as Ellington, we gain a young guard who can shoot the 3 while Manu is resting.

Elton Brand $17,059,728
Spencer Hawes $4,051,024
2013 PHI 1st
