New GM a Team Transactions Thread

[SamBone]

Minnesota claims Joe Crawford off of waiver. I believe he is a rookie min player with a salary nonguaranteed $429,111 in 2009.

New Jersey and the Clippers have a trade.

NJ in / LAC out:
Eric Gordon $2,623,200
Mike Taylor $500,000
#27 pick (from Orlando via Memphis)
Total $3,123,200

LAC in / NJ out:
Sean Williams $1,522,920
Jarvis Hayes $1,910,000
#2 pick
Total $3,432,920

(3.12 x 1.25) + .1 = 4.00 > 3.43; trade works

New Jersey accepts. The deal is essentially Gordon and a late first-rounder for #2 (presumably Rubio); all else is salary filler. Having decided to stick with Harris as my PG, I chose to move Rubio for the best value I could find, looking for another young player and preserving my cap space. I'm very impressed by Gordon's rookie season, and he fills my need for a young SG beautifully.

Clippers accept. Although we're sad to see a dynamic scorer like Gordon go, we believe we have acquired a pick that will bring a franchise point guard into the Clippers Organization, something we haven't had for years. With 3 picks in the lotto this year, we're confident that we can build a young, dynamic and exciting core.

With that being said, ZACH RANDOLPH IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR FREE.

[SabasRevenge!]

Edit: Trade rescinded.

Sacramento and LA Lakers have come to an agreement

Contingent on the Sac/Hous trade

Brent Barry for TPE (Chris Mihm), 2010 Memphis 2nd

Lakers agree
barry is an experienced vet which i didnt have to give up much for, and will be a great 8th or 9th man off the bench.

I don't know if I've approved this trade yet, but if I hadn't trade approved.

[SamBone]

Minnesota and Philly have agreed on a trade

Minn trades
Acie Law IV $2,071,680
Kevin Ollie $797,517 = 2,869,197 x 1.25 + 100,000 = 3,686,496
for
Shelden Williams $3,395,760
2011 2nd

Minnesota frees up even more 2010 money

[MadNESS]

accpeted. i like aci and have no freaking need for williams.

lol

also, Philly waives Robs Kurs once this deal is approved, not for roster space or anything, just because we dont want the guy and ollie takes his "15th man, getting paid minimum salary, just here to fill in on trades" spot!

[SamBone]

*edited*

Minnesota claims Jake Voskuhl off of waivers ( $797,581 ) for the Vet min

[Duncanfan]

The LA Clippers and New Orleans Hornets have agreed to two trades.

1. Ime Udoka for Ian Mahinmi (within 125%)

2. Jarvis Hayes ($1,910,000) for 2015 1st and Trade Exception from Trade 1 with OKC (3.57m-1.91m=1.66 remaining)*

* NOH had 13 players, Hayes brings the roster up to 14

Trade on hold. There is an issue that is being worked out right now. Will keep the league office posted.

SAN and PHI have a deal to announce:

Philly sends/San Antonio receives:
Kenyon Martin: 14,431,818
Jarret Jack: 2,002,623
Boston 2009 1st (#28th overall)
Total: 16,434,441

San Antonio sends/Philly recieves:
Zydrunas Ilgauskas: 10,841,615
Sheldon Williams: 3,395,760
Willie Green: 3,388,000
Total: 17,625,375

Salaries work.

For San Antonio this trade is about potential. The potential we see in Jack, the potential we see in the 2009 1st, the potential in what Kmart might bring either through another trade or through play. In short, this trade is about trading pieces that have no potential for those that do.

Trade approved, please update your rosters.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers have agreed upon a trade

Memphis sends:
2009 Orlando first (#27)

LA sends:
2011 Dallas first

Clippers accept. We needed a pick to fill the needs of our young squad and this helps us.

Still need Memphis to okay this trade.

MEMPHIS ACCEPTS - This year's draft is pretty much dead after Top 10 and it wouldn't make sense to draft a low-ranked player as Memphis can clearly make a run for big FAs this offseason to fill in the missing pieces to strengthen its roster.

Minnesota waives Josh McRoberts then trades

E.Watson (6.2, 6.6)

to Indiana for

R.Butler (3.63, 3.945)
R.Davis (2.3, 2.4)

Indiana needed a backup PG and I could use a SG/SF that can shoot the 3

Philladelphia would like to claim josh mcroberts off waivers if no one else has him....

[MJallday59]

Just a little late sir...I claimed him a day ago

[MadNESS]

-Sidenote: Also the 2009-2010 salary cap will be set to 57.3 million and the luxury tax will be 68.54 million; also they will be the same for the 2010-2011 season for those GM's looking to get cap space then.
-I got the cap numbers from http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=11713 I'm not much of a hoopsworld fan, but this seems pretty reasonable and it's the best numbers that I could find for the salary cap.
-I got the the luxury tax value since the salary cap is 51% of the BRI; 57.3 mill/0.51 = 112.35 mill = BRI and the luxury tax is 61% of the BRI so 112.35 millx 0.61 = 68.54 mill

Would you also let us know what the MLE will be? Thanks.

I'll figure it out before the draft.
