Sacramento, Minnesota, Houston have a three way to announce
*Was originally two seperate deals, but combined into a 3 way for simplicity, and 1 deal being contingent on the other*

Minnesota give: #40, Atl 2011 Unprotected 1st
Minnesota gets: #31, #36

Houston give: Mickael Pietrus, Nick Collison, Aaron Brooks
Houston gets: Troy Murphy, Mike Conley, Sac 2011 Unprotected 1st, Atlanta 2011 Unprotected 1st

Sacramento give: Troy Murphy, Mike Conley, 2011 Unprotected 1st, #31, #36
Sacramento gets: Mickael Pietrus, Nick Collison, Aaron Brooks, #40

Salaries
5.3 6.835 2.016 = 14.151
4.913 11.968 = 16.881/1.25 = 13.505

*Sacramento does this trade because we needed a true backup C which we found in Collison. We wanted a more veteran experience at the SF position which we found in Pietrus, and Brooks for Conley was a swap of two near equal talents that do different roles.

Minnesota accepts, even though we have alot of 2nds, we have a guy we really like and can not wait to draft him

the lakers agree to the g wallace trade for jamison.
we looked at the free agents and they were many more sg to choose from compared to pf, and belive jamison would be a great secondary scorer on this team beside lebron. We also didnt like the fact that wallace's career could be over with 1 more concussion.

Denver and Milwaukee have agreed to a trade--

Nuggets trade/Bucks receive:
Dan Gadzuric - $7,248,325
Francisco Garcia - $5,500,000
Antoine Wright - $854,389
$13,602,714 x 1.25 = $17,003,392

Bucks trade/ Nuggets receive:
Corey Maggette - $9,600,000
Brandon Bass - $5,670,000
$15,270,000

Why the Nuggets do it: I feel like this trade is essentially Garcia and spare parts for Bass and Maggette. I am in need of a skilled power forward, and I think that Bass, while slightly over payed, can fill that role. Maggette is that 16-20ppg bench player I have been looking for all game long, and I am happy to get him on my team--although I might be forced to trade him for salary purposes.

$15,270,000

The Bucks accept this deal. We hated to lose Bass because now we have a gaping hole in our front court but this deal soldifies are wings, saves money in the long term and dumps Maggette. It also frees up some money up front and allows us to use Chase Bullinger as a trade chip all in the hopes of getting a new power forward. Depending upon who I am able to pick up as a replacement this deal could look even better.

The Indiana Pacers and New Orleans Hornets have agreed upon a trade.

Indiana sends 2.0 million of their TPE acquired in the Rafer Alston deal and our own 2011 1st Round Draft Pick in exchange for Jarret Jack.

We accept, we feel he's a good compliment to Rondo as a backup, and a player versatile enough to play both guard positions. He put up terrific stats late in the season, over 15 points and 5 assists per game as a starter while being efficient from the floor and behind the arc.

While we liked Jarrett Jack, we don't have any minutes for him at PG and won't have many behind Roy at SG. I felt like a 2011 1st round pick was pretty fair value for Jack and this move frees up an extra 2 million in space for us.

New Orleans Accepts.

FROM CLIPPERS GM:

"Clippers are dropping the unguaranteed deals of Dimitris Nichols, Rodney Carney and Ronnie Price to clear a further 3 million in cap space"

The Lakers and Cavs have agreed to a trade
Lakers send
Wally Z-2M
Raymond Felton-8M
total: 10M*1.25=12.5M deal works

for
Hedo: 10M
Desmond Mason: 854,389
Dahntay Jones: 1,200,000
total: 12,054,389

Lakers agree as we get a sg in hedo as well as great backups in mason and jones. One more thing the lakers really really like dahntay jones game and believe him cook in addition to mason provide us great depth off the bench for the SG/SF position.

We accomplish two things with this trade:

1. Get younger in our starting lineup - Raymond Felton will immediately become our starting point guard (moving Mike Bibby to the bench and onto the trading block). Moving Hedo also means Jeff Green can move into the starting lineup. Our core group we are building around is Felton (25), Green (23), and Nene (26).

2. Save money and clear roster spaces - The deal clears one guaranteed contract and $2M+ instantly.

The Atlanta Hawks and the San Antonio Spurs have agreed to a deal

Atlanta sends

6,315,840 - AI
4,385,000 - Ryan Gomes
1,105,000 - Joel Anthony
1,972,000 - Goran Dragic
854,389 - Jason Williams
Total: 14,632,229 * 1,25 = 18,290,286 + 100,000 = 18,390,286 > 17,619,954

San Antonio Sends

16,545,454 - Kenyon Martin
1,074,500 - Marcus Thornton
Rights to Tiago Splitter
San Antonio 2011 2nd round pick
Detroit Pistons 2011 2nd round pick
Total: 17,619,954

We replace Jamison's loss with Kenyon Martin and we add 4 young players. Tiago Splitter is my favorite basketball player and i have absolutely no doubt he will be a starter in the league. He is a 7'0" 250lbs center with a very good post up game and great post defense.

The result of this 2 deals is Atlanta gets younger and a lot more athletic and that's the main reason for us to do those deals.

PS if one of the 2 deals gets vetoed for any reason i would like to cancel both deals.

The Atlanta Hawks and The Los Angeles Lakers have finally agreed to a deal

Atlanta sends

Antawn Jamison 13,358,905 and Atlanta 2010 2nd round pick

13,358,905 * 1,25 16,698,631 + 100,000 = 16,698,631 > 14,235,600

Los Angeles Lakers sends

Gerald Wallace 9,500,000
Joe Alexander 2,763,600
Goran Dragic 1,972,000

Total 14,235,600

It hurts to see Jamison go, he was a great fit in our team but he is getting old and we would like to get younger. Gerald Wallace is a fantastic player and we believe he would be a fantastic fit next to Kobe and Nelson. Marion would move to the bench and get the SG/SF/PF backup minutes. This trade makes our bench a lot stronger once we complete our 2nd deal filling the starting PF hole left by Jamison's departure.

The Kings (I believe) and the Bucks have agreed to a deal.

The Bucks send Daniel Gibson to the Kings in exchange for Darius Songila and the 40. The Bucks have enough cap room to absorb the pitifully small difference in salaries.

[deNIEd]

The trade also works under the 125% rule.

Sacramento accepts.


Sacramento has plenty of players at the PF position, but lack some guards. We also have not scouted enough to truly find a worthwhile player wih the 40th pick so we feel this is a good deal.

*Was away for a while so wasn't able to accept the deal as early as I would have liked*

[deNIEd]

Sacramento and Indiana has come to an agreement

Corey Brewer for TPE

*Indiana will disclose TPE details*


Sacramento wasn't too fond of Brewer and would have declined his team option if LBJ4MVP23 wasn't being a beez

Hey, I just want to get the rules straight.

[TMACFORMVP]

The original TE's value was 5.67 million dollars, after the Jack trade (approx: $2,000,000), the TE's worth became 3.67 million dollars. With the rule you can 100,000 dollars to a TE, that brings the value of the TE to 3.77 million dollars, thus greater than Brewer's salary $3,703,472. I'm not too sure if it'd work, but hopefully it does.

Indiana accepts, we pick up a young SF with some talent defensively that could fill the role for Miller who's a FA, and makes him more expendable in a sign and trade deal if that were to occur.

[Miller4ever]

Charlotte and Houston agree to yet another MONSTER TRADE involving OVERPAID PLAYERS.

Troy Murphy
Von Wafer
Darius Songaila
2012 2nd round pick protected in all prime numbered picks and all odd multiples of 5(31,35,37,41,43,45,47,53,55,59)

FOR

Jason Richardson
Leon Powe

I don't know exactly what Powe's salary is, but the trade should work as long as he's under around 6 mil. Which he shouldn't be.

Houston gets Chuckwagon back except his name is Leon Powe, and dump the backup Murphy, who will not get appropriate minutes for his talent in Houston's stocked rotation of Millsap-Miller-Gooden-Dalembert. Jason Richardson's contract SUCKS, but it's expiring, and Houston rids itself of the useless Songaila and the minute-less Wafer.
