Trade #6

Wizards/Kings

Wizards in/Kings out:
Carmelo Anthony: 21,388,953 / 23,333,404(Player Option)
Mirza Teletovic: 3,229,050 / 3,368,100
Luke Ridnour: 4,320,000
Totals = $28,938,003 * 1.25 = $36,172,500

Kings in/Wizards out:
Arron Afflalo: 7,362,500 / 7,362,500 / 7,362,500
Lance Stephenson: 930,000
Tiago Splitter: 10,000,000 / 9,500,000 / 8,500,000 / 8,250,000
Cody Zeller: 3,857,040 / 4,030,560 / 4,204,200 / 5,318,313 / 7,014,855
Jeremy Lin: 8,374,646 / 8,374,646
Totals = $30,524,186 * 1.25 = $38,155,232

Wizards stay within 125% of their traded salary. Kings stay within 125% of their traded salary.

Wizards accept.. Carmelo is a top player in the league and will help us win games now. Teletovic will stretch the floor, Ridnour is an expiring and a valuable backup PG. Plus, Wizards dump a lot of future guaranteed money in an effort to re-sign Carmelo long-term after the season.

**Note: Kings GM has not updated his/her roster yet.

Mavericks out/Wizards In:

Paul Millsap( 9,500,000/9,500,000)
Ray Allen (3,299,050)
Isaiah Caanan(570,515/816,482/947,276)

Brandon Wright (5,000,000 / 5,000,000)
John Henson (1,905,360 / 1,967,320 / 2,943,221 )
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (2,653,080 / 2,772,480 / 2,891,760 / 3,678,319)
WAS 2014 2nd

Total 9,558,440

9,558,440 * 1.5 (neither tax is a tax team) = 14,337,660 so its legal.

Mavericks Accept

Paul Millsap is a terrific player, but let's face it this team was ranked worst in the league so we need a rebuild. Henson is the main prize here, but KCP is a prospect we believe will help down the road. Wright is young enough to be part of the future as well. Good Dealing Washington. Mavericks Roster has been updated to reflect these changes.

Wizards accept. Paul Millsap is a piece for a win now team, which I am trying to put together.

Trade #8

The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks have reached a deal

Tobias Harris – $1,545,840
Darren Collison – $1,900,000
Bismack Biyombo – $3,049,920
2015 LAL 1st
Total = $6,495,760

for

Terrence Ross – $2,678,640
John Henson – $1,905,360
Jeff Ayres – $1,750,000
Total = $6,334,000

Lakers do this to get two up-and-comers with longer rookie-scale contracts. Ross and Henson join Marshall and McLemore as my core. Good dealing!

Mavericks Agree.

We see Harris as the best player in the deal, we love getting a young defensive-minded big, and now we have a young veteran PG to help our young team. Plus yet another pick to our stockpile. We love picks. Koponen was terrific to deal with. Good dealing.

Mavericks Roster is up to date reflecting this deal.

Raptors and Warriors agree to terms.

Raptors out / Warriors in:

Wesley Mathews - 6,875,480
Jamal Crawford - 5,225,000
Alex Len - 3,492,720

Total: 15,593,200

Warriors out / Raptors in:

Kenneth Faried - 1,367,640
Greg Oden - 1,027,424
Draymond Green - 875,500
2014 unprotected Warriors First

Total: 3,270,564

Deal works due to GSW's having 17+ million in cap space!

Why?
We love Faried and his game. He's a great match with Drummond going forward. The unprotected first is icing on the cake. Hate to see Wes go. Great dealing Timmay!

Accept. Matthews is a fantastic piece and adding the 6th man of the year and a potentially great young center doesn't hurt either. Good dealing as always ness

Trade #1'

New York Knicks / Memphis Grizzlies trade

New York trades Hibbert (14,283,844) , Jeremy Tyler(556,584), 2015 top 8 protected 1st rounder, 2016 1st rounder (if 2015 is not conveyed) (Total: $14,840,428)

to

Memphis for Kemba Walker (2,568,360) , John Salmons (7,583,000), Keith Bogans (5,058,198), and Andray Blatche (1,375,604) (Total: $16,585,162)



Knicks do this because they get that Hibbert contract out of the way, and get a player that can man the backcourt with Dragic, a la the current Suns. Also get a young big man with potential in Blatche, and 2 contracts that can be cut next year.

Grizz accept. We sacrifice some cap flexibility for a great start to a powerhouse defense in Conley/Hibbert. The pick is nice also.

Wolves & kings strike a deal

Total: 11,649,296

Kings accept because YOLO


IS THIS RIGHT? HUH? HUH? OR AM I WRONG LIKE ALWAYS?

Trade accepted. We were in desperate need of a starting caliber PG and we feel Jackson can fill that role for us. We hate to lose Amir but getting Frye will help spread the floor better and can play alongside Bogut.

2015 1st(MEM) (top 3 protected), becomes 2016(MEM) (top 1 protected) if not conveyed, becomes 2017(MEM) 1st (unprotected) if not conveyed
Total: $11,046,000

Bulls accept. We have the cap space to absorb the extra salary. Get a potentially high pick for Manu, who wasn't in our long-term plans. Good dealing!!

Memphis accepts, we think we can get out of the lottery by next year and Manu still has plenty of game and a reasonable salary.

edit: I also made a few small edits to his post just for clarification purposes

Bulls accept. Big fan of David Lee. Has always been underrated in this league despite putting up 20/10 consistently. Get a couple 2nds as well. Good dealing Alan!!

Getting rid of another big contract, as well as 2 prospects, and a large expiring. Great dealing Ankesh!

2014 2nd [CHA]
=31,564,645

Salaries are will within 150%.

Charlotte accepts. I was going to amnesty Kobe if I didn't get a deal for him, and this is great value- lots of good role players, two picks, and a scoring forward. I'm not close to the hard cap yet (this drops me to about $103M?), but I'm slowly making my way towards the $90M cap. Thanks TC!

Dallas Agrees.

With what we started with getting a star was going to be next to impossible. We have to wait a year on Kobe and its a small risk with his age and health, but he was still a top 5 guy last year and nobody outworks Kobe. Plus we get another young wing prospect to soak up minutes this year and yet another 2014 pick as we want to be a power broker in this draft. We also will end up saving cap room next year as a result of this deal.

Good dealing Biz.

Charlotte in:
Tyson Chandler: 14,100,537 / 14,596,887
2018 2nd [TOR]

Toronto in:
Pau Gasol: 19,285,850

Toronto has cap space to absorb this.

Charlotte accepts. I'm a big fan of Tyson Chandler. He's a top-tier defensive player and should serve as a mentor to Larry Sanders. We also drop another $5M.

We get a far superior player in the deal.
In the right system, Gasol is easily still a 20/10 guy, and a force on both sides of the ball. Regaurdless of what some may think, he still is an elite big man, that you can run your offense through. Good dealing Biz.

Cartier Martin: 884,293
=7,091,521

Well within 150%

Bobcats accept. Larry Sanders isn't really worth his contract, and we get a similar and younger guy at a fraction of the price, plus a couple picks and a young player. Good dealing TC!

Dallas Agrees.

We gamble on another injured player, but Sanders is young and is a DPOY quality center. Ed Davis is a solid young big to add to our squad as well. Cartier Martin, well he shoots 3s pretty good. Starting with nothing Dallas has to take these risks.

Total: 10,750,000

Kings receive:
Andres Biedrins 9,000,000
Total: 9,000,000

Kings accept, because now we can shed a lot of salary on a different player with the amnesty. I don't care about the later picks as much as trying to snag a few games in free agency.

Mavs agree. We strengthen our NBA best Injured Reserve squad, add a top-notch backup center and add 3 more unprotected 1sts to our stockpile. We figure either Kobe whips him into shape or kills him and we have insurance for that.

Salaries work.

We do this deal for 5 reasons:

2.) I was going to amnesty JJ anyways, so here, I get exps for him.
3.) We pick up our third UNPROTECTED 2014 first.
4.) We're glad Ants - Nest is back playing and we wanted to trade with him.
5.) CV once scored 50 points for Toronto.

Done deal.

Accept

Get a nice shooting 2 to compliment tummy D and Aldridge and green who of the bench behind deng and can still play next to bigs for a small line up.
Not concerned about the picks as we are going for a win now!

I'll update roster page as soon as I get back from my trip.

We love Dragic and his most likely MIP award this year. He can run an offense perfectly and is a very good PG. Love his fit with Oladipo and Beal going forward. Didn't want to deal my first's but this deal is too good to pass up. Good dealing Alan!

NYK accepts, hate to see Dragic go but we need to focus towards the future, and Dragic just doesn't fit. The pick was nice as well.
