The Phoenix Suns, Chicago Bulls, and Los Angeles Lakers have agreed upon a deal.
First, the Suns would like to waive Darius Songaila prior to the trade. He'll take the cap hit/hold, as he expires tomorrow. Putting him at 13 players.
Suns Outgoing:
Caron Butler ($10,561,960)
Total: ($10,561,960)
Suns Incoming:
Anthony Parker ($2,855,769)
Deshawn Stevenson ($4,151,786)
Courtney Lee ($1,352,640)
Total: ($8,360,195) (Takes on Less then sends out, works)
13 players minus 1 player = 12 players + 3 players = 15 players.
(Stay with me here)
Bulls Outgoing:
Anthony Parker ($2,855,769)
Deshawn Stevenson ($4,151,786)
Courtney Lee ($1,352,640)
Joe Smith ($854,389)
Total: ($9,214,584) x 1.25 % + 100,000 = $11,618,230 (Max incoming)
Bulls Incoming:
Caron Butler ($10,561,960)
Total: ($10,561,960) (Less the Max Incoming)
15 players - 4 players + 1 player = 12 players.
Lakers Outgoing:
Nothing
Lakers Incoming:
Joe Smith ($854,389). Works as it's minimum.
Why for Chicago?
We hate losing Courtney Lee, because we felt with his age, he was the perfect fit with Derrick Rose. But, We like Caron (even though hes technically injured right now) in our starting lineup. We feel that next year we can resign him to a fair deal, and he would love to play for Chicago, which is close to him home town in Racine, Wisconsin. This is exactly the kind of deal we have been looking for. Good dealing boys!
