BOS trades:
Jerryd Bayless $2,292,600
CHA’s 2011 1st round pick (if in top 10)
BOS receives:
Jason Richardson $14,444,443
- Works for Celtics because $14,444,443 - $2,292,600 = $12,151,843, and the Celtics have $12,188,961 in cap space (pending approval of the BOS-SAS trade), which is just slightly more than the difference in salaries.
HOU trades:
Jason Richardson $14,444,443
HOU receives:
Goran Dragic $1,972,000
LAL’s 2011 1st round pick
- Works for Rockets because they’re sending out more salary than they’re receiving.
NOH trades:
Goran Dragic $1,972,000
LAL’s 2011 1st round pick
NOH receives:
Jerryd Bayless $2,292,600
CHA’s 2011 1st round pick (if in top 10)
- Works for Hornets because $1,972,000 X 1.25 + 100,000 = $2,565,000, which is more than Bayless’ salary. (The Hornets also have enough cap room anyway.)
The Celtics accept. We’re excited to bring in a stud SG in Richardson whose contract expires next offseason. We like Bayless’ potential, but we’re trying to win now, so he doesn’t help with that too much.
Trade approved
