Memphis Trades: Zach Randolph ($18,238,333), Mike Miller ($884,293), $2m cash = 19,122,626
Indiana Trades: David West ($12,000,000), Michael Beasley ($2,150,000), Hasheem Thabeet ($1,200,000) = 15,350,000

15,350,000 * 1.25 + 100,000 = 19,287,500 > 19,122,626

Memphis accepts. We get similar production for quite a bit cheaper. Plus getting two former #2 picks in the same trade is kind of cool!

Upgrade is and upgrade. We add our 4th all star. With Iggy and Lebron on the wings, we feel we can sacrifice a little defense in order to get a low post scorer. We now feel our starting 5 is unbeatable. Good dealing Klomp.

Denver sends: Kidd-Gilchrist ($4,809,840) + C.Lee ($5,225,000) total: $10,034,840

Dallas is ecstatic about receiving MKG and adds a good role player in Lee. We feel MKG is a player that we can keep long term and are 1 step closer to the post Dirk rebuild.

Good dealings.

This was a difficult deal to work right up to our final compromise(s). but we were finally able to pull the trigger. Cleveland accepts this deal. With a Bennett/Love and Hibbert front court and projected All Stars in Ricky Rubio and Dion Waiters, the Cavs future is bright. Even with Paul George being an elite wing in this league who we anticipate also achieving an all star selection, the Cavs felt there was too much talent to pass on. if the #1 pick realizes his potential in his role as a SF - the Cavs will contend for years. This was really a tough, but satisfying negotiation - Thanks and well played Colbinii.

Denver accepts. Batum is easily a top 10 SF

Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks agree to a deal.

Dallas Trades : Andrea Bargnani $11,000,000, Anderson Varejao $9,036,364, Vince Carter $3,180,000
total - $23,216,364

Golden State Trades: Klay thompson $3,245,151 , Amare Stoudemire $21,679,893
total - $24,925,044

Dallas acquires Klay Thompson who will be a great compliment to Kidd-Gilchrist. We don't mind taking on Amare and his contract, as we got rid of both Bargnani and Varejao who were signed for the same length of time.
Great doing business with you GSW.

Trade # 69:

Tyreke Evans $11,796,247
Alexey Shved $3,150,000
Pero Antic $1,200,000

Total: $16,164,247 (*125% = $20,205,309)

FOR

Luol Deng $14,275,000
Chuck Hayes $5,722,500

Total: $19,997,500


After MUCH negotiating with two stubborn people, we finally got something done. Tyreke is still young and has high potential, but we get an elite defender in Deng at the 3. He is not a great shooter to space this team, but he can hit the corner 3 at a good clip, and can get hot.

Good dealings buddy, that was a painful one LOL

Despite hardly improving since entering the league, Evans is still one of the better SGs in the league, and I wasn't ready to give Deng the gigantic contract he's bound to receive this summer. Shved is a good prospect, and Antic can play a little himself. I also get to offload the useless contract of Chuck Hayes.

This trade is seemingly three months in the making, but we finally found a middle ground. Good dealing dude.

Trade 70

NETS RUN WITH BULLS - SIX TIME ALL STAR ON THE MOVE

Continuing their fiscally responsible off season,
BKN sends Joe Johnson $21,466,718. Andrei Kirilenko, $3,183,000, Andray Blatche $1,375,604, Mason Plumlee $1,298,640 (total 27,323,962); to
CHI for Marcus Thornton $8,050,000, Taj Gibson $7550,000, Jason Thompson $5,643,750, Nazr Mohammed $884,293 (22,128,043 x 1.25 = 27,660054) + the best of WA/ATL 2015 1sts and the New Orleans Pelicans 2015 2nd.
- Salaries work under CBA trade conditions.

The Nets are close to being under the Hard Cap with this move and while it slightly unbalances their roster, the Nets felt that It broadened their talent base signifcantly in bringing in solid contributors in Thornton, Taj and Jason Thompson. Trevor Ariza is primed to move into the starters role with Marcus providing Instant offense and Taj Gibson has been an underrated talent in Chicago who has played both the PF and Center positions when Noah was down. Jason Thompson is a reliable big who will get minutes at both the PF and Center spots while Nazr will provide depth all teams need. Since embarking on getting back to the Hard cap - JJ has been a concern. While costly, this move was the result of Kesh knowing what he wanted to accomplish and working together to get a deal done. Really nice working with you on this one.

Bulls accept. We are clearly trying to win now and this move makes us better. Johnson is overpaid, but is still one of the top SGs in the league. Also, we feel we make up for his contract by trading for Kirilenko and Blatche, both of whom are on great value contracts. In addition, we add an intriguing prospect in Plumlee and a 1st and 2nd rounder in 2015. We feel that with our starters and deep bench, we have the best team in the league.

Clippers accept. Get a very underrated player in Amir Johnson. Plays great defense, with a lot of passion and is willing to do the dirty work. Will be a perfect complement player to CP3 and Melo. We also believe Doc will have Fields playing like he was when he was a rookie. High IQ player with the ability to excel when surrounded by superstars.

I thought I was going to have to use Johnson to dump Fields, but I get three solid role players out of it. Thanks ke$h, you're a pleasure to deal with.

For those of you who dont know, LRMAM is an elite defender. Those of you who have seen the Bucks play know, that he can guard any SF and PF in the NBA, and slow them or shut them down. But since he played in Milwaukee, and now in Sacramento, no one will know. He is Bruce Bowen / Ron Artest good, but never gets any credit. If he played in LA, NY, or a big market with some stars, he be all NBA defense. Ill gladly have him, Lebron, and Iggy lock down any wing combo in THIS league as well. Good dealing Biz!

[HornetJail]

By that token, DeColo is the next Magic Johnson, just a little shorter.

For the sake of formalities, Indiana could give me one dollar or a 2085 2nd round pick top 59 protected. I don't think anybody cares enough.
