POLL: Trade Hollins for an Expiring?

[skorff26]

With Houston
Hollins + Sessions for Lowry + Cook

We dump Hollins for Cook's expiring, and we get Jawai more minutes and I'd rather see him then Hollins. We also get more capspace with Sessions and get a solid bakcup PG in Lowry.

OK, let's break it down then.
Let's say that a player has an $8.2 million dollar salary. Right?
That player get's 1/82nd of his salary every game, or basically $100,000 a game.
If that player plays 40 games with Houston and then is traded to Minnesota, he gets paid $4 million by Houston and then gets paid $4.2 million dollars by Minnesota. His salary for the year was 8.2 million dollars, but our team is only paying him $4.2 million. So that's all that is being counted against us for the cap.

That's the super simple version anyway.

your basic math principals instill me with confusion and anger!

Yeah, I took a "basic principals of dating" class. Turns out confusing women is the best way to get them in bed, I figured I'd try that technique on the message board and see where it went.
