[GMAT 2013] Approved Trades

[HornetJail]

Approved trades will go here. The commissioner (that's me) will be the only one posting in this thread. This is a reference thread in case you need to go back and view an old trade. This also makes it easy to find out whether your trade was approved. Once your trade is approved, I will post it here.

I'll go ahead and do this one for you guys this one time.
#1

Nets Get:
PF Josh Smith ($13,200,000)
C Zaza Pachulia ($5,248,750)
Total Salary: $18,448,750

Hawks Get:
PG C.J. Watson ($992,680)
PF Mirza Teletovic ($3,090,000)
C Brook Lopez ($13,668,750)
Total Salary: $17,751,430

Since Nets are above the luxury tax, they can at most bring back 125% of the salary going out plus 100k.

$17,751,430 x 1.25 + .1 = $22,289,288 > $18,448,750

Thanks lol

Added the trade number to it. Anyways the Hawks accept, big fan of Lopez and think he meshes nicely with Horford. Smith, while a great player, was not in my long term plans. Good dealing Brooklyn!

Thank you Karmaloop. Deal is approved. ZackB and NW7: Please update your rosters reflecting these changes ASAP. Also Zack (BRK GM) needs to include that he has the starting amount of $7M cash in his roster post.

Trade #2

Pacers Get:
Louis Williams ($5,000,000)
Total Salary: $5,000,000

Hawks Get:
D.J. Augustin ($3,500,000)
$3,000,000 cash
2013 1st round pick
Total Salary: $3,500,000

Reason: Pacers needed a SG, and I'm not so high on Augustin. I'm more comfortable having Stephenson come off the bench, so it made sense to acquire Lou.

ATL accepts.

Lou is a solid SG but I valued a late first, cash and future cap space more then him. Good dealing Indy!

Approved. Please update rosters. Jake, please make note that you have $3M less cash and have dealt your 2013 1st round pick on your roster page.

[HornetJail]

#3:

Charlotte in:
Rip Hamilton ($5,000,000)
Marquis Teague ($857,000)
Full rights to our first round pick back (traded in Tyrus Thomas deal)
$1M cash
(Total: $5,857,000)

Chicago in:
Gerald Henderson ($3,101,327)

Charlotte has the cap space and roster space to do this deal. We love Gerald, but he could get a big payday this summer and we wanted to be able to use our 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 1st round picks as trade chips, something we couldn't do with the pick tied up with Chicago. Plus Marquis Teague on a 29th-pick contract is legit. Rip Hamilton can hold down the SG position as a vet in a young starting lineup. Good dealing Chicago.

Bulls accept. We like Hendo as our starting SG. Good defender. Good second ball handler. Good mid-range game. Nice fit. Thx Commish!

Approved. You know what to do DN.

#4

Portland out / Utah in:
Wesley Matthews - $6,505,320
Meyers Leonard - $2,126,520
Victor Claver - $1,300,000
Total - $9,931,840

Utah out / Portland in:

Enes Kanter - $4,319,280
Demarre Carroll - $885,120
Randy Foye - $2,500,000
Total - $7,704,400

Portland accepts. Give up a lot, but I think Kanter will be a beast.

Utah loves the heart that Wes Matthews brings and has regretted losing him to the Blazers since they made their poison offer. In addition, we like the athleticism that Meyers Leonard has demonstrated and flashes of a mid range game to compliment our young guys. Don't see us developing a plodding 1/2 court system that would suit Kanter's skills. We also like having a few players with upside under contract for the future. Great Dealing Sterncohen.

Approved. Please update.

Trade #5

Houston In:
Jeff Teague - $2,433,077
Kyle Korver - $5,000,000
Ivan Johnson - $962,195
2013 Houston 1st rounder (full rights to Houston)

Atlanta In:
Jeremy Lin - $8,374,646
Chandler Parsons -$888,250
Donatas Motiejunas - $1,361,400

Reason:
While giving up Parsons is tough, Houston loves Jeff Teague and thinks he is a great fit next to Harden. Kyle Korver will do a great job at filling in for Parsons and will provide for some superb spacing. Ivan Johnson is a great defensive 4-man and will add in some extra depth at a cheap price. This deal will also give Houston up to $10 million more to play with in free agency, as none of the contracts they are receiving are guaranteed. Overall, a deal Houston is happy with.

ATL happily accepts.

Jeremy is a good point guard but he's a bit ball dominant, in Houston we've seen his production dip with Harden playing next to him. I think he can excel in ATL like his NYK days. Parsons is a player I love and Motiejunas is a project that's well on his way to contributing. Giving up my 3 dudes was a tough decision, but all are free agents to be.

Good dealing Houston!

Edit for totals:
Houston's total incoming is $8,395,272
Atlanta's total incoming is $10,624,296

Approved. Please update your roster to reflect all changes.

[HornetJail]

Trade #6

Indiana In:
Jameer Nelson ($8,600,000)
Al Harrington ($6,687,400)
Total Salary: $15, 287, 400

Magic In:
Tyler Hansbrough ($3,055,299)
George Hill ($8,000,000)
Total Salary: $11,055,299 * 1.5 + 100,000 = 16,682,949

Reason: The Pacers get a definite upgrade to their backup PF, as well as dumping George Hill for Jameer Nelson who distributes the ball more effectively than Hill, and is more of a "true" point guard.

ORL accepts. Harrington is better than Hansbrough, but Tyler is EXP which we like, and also younger. Nelson has simply outstayed himself in Orlando, and isn't producing like he used to. Hill is less of a distributor, but does most other things better, and I like the fact that he can play either guard spot, so that we don't have to worry about who we get in future deals, because Hill can adapt.

Approved. Please update.

Trade #8

Utah sends Mo Williams ($8,500,000), Alec Burks (2,111,160), Raja Bell ($3,480,00), $2.5M & UTA '14 1st (14,091,160); to
IND for Danny Granger (13,058,606) and Orlando Johnson ($550,000) ($13,608,606)

Utah gets an All Star performer - at a position of need in his prime and a nice Prospect (from the GMs Alma Mater) who has the versatility to play the 1 and 3 in addition to his natural SG position. Indy was tough, but Utah avoids bidding wars Mo Williams expiring. Nice dealing Jake0890

Accepted. I didn't like having Granger behind George as much as he was being paid. In return, I get a decent pick, money, a good point guard, shooting specialist, and young prospect.

Corrected Indiana's incoming salary. Deal still works, so it's approved. Please double-check your calculations.

Trade #9

Indiana In:
Mikael Pietrus ($1,005,096)
Toronto 2014 2nd Round Pick
Total Salary: $1,005,096

Toronto In:
Gerald Green ($3,500,000)
Total Salary: $3,500,000

Reason: After trading Granger, I had a large excess of pure shooting guards and lacked a real SF behind Paul George besides Sam Young. I think a shooter and veteran like Pietrus really fits well.

Trade # 9 revised

Indiana In:
Mikael Pietrus ($1,005,096)
Aaron Gray ($2,500,000)
Toronto 2014 2nd Round Pick
Total Salary: $3,505,096

Toronto In:
Gerald Green ($3,500,000)
Ben Hansbrough ($473,604)
Total Salary: $3,973,604

Trade #10

Atlanta Receives:
Jared Dudley - $4,250,000

Total = $4,250,000

Phoenix Receives:
D.J. Augustin - $3,500,000
Donatas Motiujunas - $1,361,400
2013 ATL 1st
2013 Indy 1st

Total = $4,861,400

ATL happily accepts. I'm probably over paying a little bit here, but I love Dudley and think his game meshes perfectly in any system ... but especially with what I'm trying to put together for my team. Good and very smooth dealing PHX.

Great offer and solid trade ATL - Phoenix is going to miss Dudley, but we felt we were sending him back to a team well-positioned in the Eastern Conference. We get a pretty nice package too.

Approved.

[HornetJail]

Trade #11

Golden State receive:
Rudy Gay $16,460,532

Toronto receive:
Richard Jefferson $10,164,000.00
Harrison Barnes $2,798,040.00
*conditional 1st round Draft pick: Due to previous real life dealings Toronto will receive 2013 first round pick if it's in top 6/ if not it will receive 1st round top 6 in the 2014 draft/ if not it will receive 2015 draft pick (unconditional)
Total: $12,962,040.00

Reason: Toronto is looking to shed large contracts and acquire youth talent.

Worriors accept.
We are under the luxury tax before and after the deal so we are operating under the 150% rule.
We hate losing Barnes, but love losing Jefferson. Getting Rudy G. Is an amazing for to our core. Good dealing Toronto.

Approved. For the future: Golden State must include a total salary.
Also make sure the protection on that pick is clearly displayed in your roster post.

#12

Washington trades: Emeka Okafor($13,490,000) + Cartier Martin ($854,389) + 2013 Washington 1st(unprotected) = $14,344,389

Phoenix trades: Marcin Gortat($7,258,960) + Markieff Morris($2,005,560) + DJ Augustin($3,500,000) + 2013 LAL 1st + 2013 Minnesota 1st = $12,764,520 X 1.25 = $15,955,650

Washington accepts. Giving up my pick is really tough...however we like upgrading our center spot, getting a decent prospect and couple later picks back...as well as shedding some salary.

Phoenix accepts. We're not worried about Okafor's contract and truly like him as a defensive C that can anchor our post. Good dealing WAS.
WAS & PHX have agreed to include Cartier Martin in the trade, going to PHX. His inclusion will keep WAS under the roster limit. Edits are in red.

washington agrees. Also are aware of the cleveland right to swap those picks.

Approved. Update please.

[HornetJail]

Trade #13
Houston in:
Michael Beasley ($5,750,000)
Indiana Pacers 2013 1st rounder
Total incoming = $5,750,000

Phoenix In:
Terrence Jones ($1,485,000)
Total incoming = $1,485,000

Reason: I have a lot of cap space, and I get a free 1st rounder for taking on Beasley's contract.

#18

Atlanta Receives:
Jose Calderon - $10,561,982
2 million in cash

Detroit Receives:
Devin Harris - $8,500,000

[HornetJail]

TRADE #19

Boston Celtics receive:
PG Stephen Curry ($3,958,742)
PF Andris Beidrins ($9,000,000)
C Festus Ezeli ($1,020,960)
TOTAL: $13,979,702

Rondo ($11,000,000)
Leandro Barbosa ($854,389)
Chris Wilcox ($854,389)
TOTAL: $12,708,778


Boston accepts. Hard to move on from Rondo, but we're moving in a new direction. Biedrins will be bought out next year and we like the potential of Ezeli next to our other young bigs. Salaries work. We're also throwing in some crutches for Rondo

Tough moving Curry,
But an upgrade is an upgrade. Rondo is going to thrive playing with Klay / Lee / Gay and Bogut. Beans is wasted space. Actually, in my two trades I've moved deadweight in Biendrins and Jefferson an got the best player in each deal. So Far so good ; ) good dealing tully

Approved.
