Trade 101

Jazz & Blazers reach agreement

UTA sends Mike Conley (7,305,786) and Meyers Leonard (2,126,520) total (9,332,306) to
POR for Greivis Vasquez (1,191,240) and Robin Lopez (4,899,293) Total (6,091,532)

Portland is at $49.8M and can absorb the 3.240,774 trade difference - deal works under CBA.

The Jazz hate to move Mike Conley, though his PER and overall game was the worse of the PG available in this deal (Vasquez & Geo Hill), but he has alway been a favorite. And Meyers is an intriguing big who has much more athleticism than Lopez. However, we do get more cap space to use in retaining our FA targets and we get the 2 best performers in this deal. Robin Lopez has strung together several productive seasons together - with a PER over 20 at this point and Greivis has hit his stride and has shown he can really run an offense in the Association. (Calderon who can use his size on D) Great dealing Sterncohen. We both get our targets in this win win deal. Thanks

Portland confirms. Like Conley - George - Ibaka as the nucleus of a really tough defense.

102 Milwaukee & Boston

Milwaukee sends:
Trevor Booker - $1,385,280
Julyan Stone - $762,195
Total = $2,147,475

Boston sends:

Earl Watson - $2,300,000
Kris Middleton - min

Why for Milwaukee? Booker is 3rd string, and whilst he has some decent upside, we prefer the cash savings into next year.

Approved
Celtics agree. Hate to lose an expiring, but Booker will be a decent big off the bench.

Trade #103: New York Knicks - Los Angeles Lakers

NY Knicks Receive:
PG Russell Westbrook ($13,668,750)
SF Stephen Jackson ($10,059,750)
C Kendrick Perkins ($8,300,531)
Total Sarlay: $32,029,031

Los Angeles Lakers Receive:
SG Iman Shumpert ($1,633,440)
SF Luol Deng ($13,305,000)
C Tyson Chandler ($13,604,188)
Total Salary: $28,542,628

$28,542,628 x 1.25 + .1 = $35,778,285

Knicks accept.

It's hard parting ways with this many assets, but Westbrook is the second best point guard in the league behind Chris Paul, and we think Stephen Jackson and Kendrick Perkins are great veterans to put around him.

We accept. Russel has a top 10 PER in the NBA so its hard to part with what was clearly thebest backcourt but i felt this move balanced out my team a bit more. good dealing NY

Wow, four of my favorite players are being moved here.

Approved.

We lose shooting in Meeks but add perimeter defense in Cunningham who i view as a poormans avery bradley. good dealing dallas

We do this to acquire Bayless, who has proven to be a good - if a little inconsistent - as a scoring 6th man. 14/4 on good efficiency in his last 10 games with more minutes..

Good dealing guys

Detoit accepts , gets a pick and cash for taking on an expiring

Doron Lamb is a young dude with a bright future. He fits my youth movement well plus I like money.

LAL trades: Jamario Moon($854,389) + Lance Thomas($762,195) + $2m in cash = $1,616,584 x 1.25 = $2,020,730

Washington accepts. Get a little cash for Webster who's having a nice year, but we are crowded at SF.

LA accept. Martell has some big scoring games this year and will be usefull off our bench.

Approved.

#108 BLOCKBUSTER
*prior to this deal Washington waives Lance Thomas / Marquis Daniels, leaving us at 12 roster spots


Wizards trade: Arron Afflalo($7,750,000) + Nic Batum($10,825,000) + Nikola Pekovic($4,837,200) + Sebastian Telfair($1,567,500) + Kevin Seraphin($1,797,600) = $26,777,300

Clippers trade: Blake Griffin($7,226,892) + Jason Terry($5,000,000) + Chauncey Billups($4,000,000) + Grant Hill($1,957,000) + Matt Barnes($854,389) + Ryan Hollins($854,389) + Trey Thompkins($762,195) + 2016 LAC 1st(unprotected) + 2016 LAC 2nd(unprotected) + $3m in cash = $22,029,865 X 1.25 = $27,537,331

Wow. I think I'm overpaying..but really can't pass up the chance to pair Rubio/Blake for the future. People may look at Blake's raw numbers and think he hasn't improved much...but he's playing less minutes and playing smarter overall, including being a good defender now. His WS/48 numbers represent that he's a superstar, and he has a good case for being the best PF in the nba at only 23.

Clippers accept, we hate losing Griffin and lob city, Griffin was our young superstar who will be a top 5 player in the league very soon, but felt this trade helped out out right now. We do not know what impact this ill have in re-signing CP3 in the offseason but hope it brings us a lot closer in doing so. We do kno pek is a restricted free agent and depending how close we are to the max salary after taking into account CP3 potential extension we would like to bring him back. The prize in the trade for me is Batum who I love and gives me a lot more options with my lineup

Daaaaanggg....



Approved. Please update.

TRADE #109


Boston Celtics receive:
G/F DeMar DeRozan (3,344,250)
PF Darrel Arthur ($3,006,217)
PG Tyshawn Taylor ($473,604)
TOTAL: $6,824,071

Brooklyn Nets receive:
F Lamar Odom ($8,200,000)
SF Darius Miller (Min) (doesn't count)
2013 1st RND (CLE)
TOTAL: $8,200,000


Boston accepts. We love DeMar as our wing. Salareis work. Good dealing Brooklyn!

Brooklyn accepts. That draft pick will be useful!

110: Charlotte and LA:

Charlotte in:
Thaddeus Young: $8,289,130 / $8,850,000 / $9,410,870 / $9,971,739
$1M cash

LA Lakers in:
Marcus Thornton: $7,525,000 / $8,050,000 / $8,575,000

I wasn't a believer in Thaddeus Young at all until this season. I always thought he was a tweener forward who chucked too much and couldn't rebound. Before his injury a couple weeks ago, he was averaging 15 points and 7 1/2 rebounds a game, shooting well over 50% from the field and he's cut out the three chucking he did earlier in his career. Thornton has dropped from a 20ppg scorer to a 12ppg scorer this year, causing me to question his true ability. Young, while his contract is rather big, is also a nice fit on this roster. Good dealing LA!

We accpet. Thorton can go off for 30 at any given time and it never hurts to have a guy like that on ur roster as a 6th man or starter.

Approved

#111 Milwaukee & Washington

Milwaukee sends:

Quincy Miller - $474k
Houston 2014 2nd (top 40 protected, deferring through to 2016 unp)
$2m cash

Washington sends:

Matt Barnes - $854k

Works as both guys are min contracts.
Why? We give up our remaining small assets for a SF who has played well this year and who could be a big contributor as we push for a deep playoff run.

wizards accept. Get a few assets for barnes who will be getting a pay day.

Approved

Al Harrington- $6,687,400
Lou Williams- $5,000,000

Total: $ 23,670,949

#113

Portland in / Charlotte out:
Thaddeus Young - $8,289,130
Tony Wroten - $1,110,120
Total - $9,399,250

Charlotte in / Portland out:
Maurice Harkless - $1,731,960
Andrew Nicholson - $1,418,160
Total - $3,150,120
$1M cash

Prior to the trade Portland has in excess of $14M in cap space, so the deal works.

Portland accepts. Thad returns to his 6th man role, and gives me great matchup flexibility.

I love this deal. I love the idea of reuniting Mo Harkless and Mike Dunlap, plus I think Andrew Nicholson can be a legit big man in the near future. I clear a lot of cap here as well. Great offer, stern!

WAS Outgoing:
David West $10,000,000
Jason Richardson $5,799,625
Total: $15,799,625

wizards accept. West became expendable. Lou will is one of the best "true" 6th men in the game and still young, on a good deal. We also like hill as a backup 4/5.

#114

Bulls get Grant Hill(1,957,000)

Wizards get Charlie Villanueva(854,389), Keith Bogans(854,389), & 1M cash
total= 1,708,778

money works with 1.25%

Bulls accept. We needed a solid back-up SF going into the playoffs. Grant Hill is still a very good defender. I believe he gave Melo fits last week NYK/LAC. Good dealin Moss!

Accepted. Charlie V is having a good season surprisingly, but the main reason we did this was to save money and get more cash. Good deal DN!

Both Trade 114s have been approved. Please check trade numbers when you're posting.

Los Angeles Lakers receive:
PG Deron Williams ($17,177,795)


Celtics accept. Lawson is tearing it up right now and we like West next to Gasol. Salaries work. Good dealing LA.

We accept. Deron will play at a better pace with Kobe in the backcourt to slow things down a bit come playoffs. good dealing Boston

Wizards accept. Get a nice 3 and d wing and a good defensive center to pair with rubio/blake.

Dallas accepts. We like Hill as one of our future bigs. We aslo are happy to reunite Chauncey with coach Carlie.

Approved

TRADE #119

Boston Celtics receive:
SF Trevor Ariza ($7,258,960)

Minnesota Vikings receive:
SF Metta World Peace ($7,258,960)


Boston accepts. We like Ariza's game with our current personnel so far. I think salaries work, someone may need to check my math. Good dealing Minny

Yep, Minny accepts as well. Despite my general determination not to team Love up with any headcases after his reaction to them last year, in this case I think its a hard working headcase from a big time winning franchise. Besides which Adelman was the first coach to reach Metta, and I simply could not resist pairing he and AK47 up at SF -- if I want to lock a guy down, I've got the horses.

BTW, the contracts are identical. I think both signed the same MLE deal a few years back.

thx for dealing Boston.

Those salaries are conveniently similar... Approved.

#120

Wizards trade: Jason Terry($5,000,000) + Ryan Hollins($854,389) = $5,854,389

Bucks trade: Jerryd Bayless($3,000,000) + Joel Przybilla($854,389) = $3,854,389 X 1.5 = $5,781,583 + 100k = $5,881,583

Wizards accept. Like Terry but we are crowded at the 2 guard with Lou being our 6th man for the long term. Here we save some money and pick up a young guy who's starting to play well after a slow start.

We accept. Terry has also come into form lately, and is a better shooter / better fit behind Wade.

Might be the first time I've seen a team actually use that remaining 100k allowed in salary matching.

Approved.
