Yeah i agree. Have to watch out for my baby little brother all the time. + This will also help my lotto chances.

Actually, that's the main reason i did this trade.


Also, Kings spend $$ on reducing contract of that James Negro guy.

For that violation of not calling i would ask Kings 1st rounder this season, so Kings came out as a true winner here

[CelticsGM]

this deal was a tough one to get.

Using all expirings i had to trade (and JdN is simply an expiring with a $300 price tag) there were 18.52 mio in salaries available from my side. Since I needed to shred exactly 2.43 mio in salaries to avoid a hard cap violation I needed to find return salaries in the range from 16.03mio (anything less would have required a trade execption) and 16.09mio (anything more and I stay above the hard cap).

Ivan and I were getting this done with him offering 16.06mio contract value, and the best of it, all contracts on both sides are expiring (JdN with the tag, you know).


Hope I didn't make a calculation mistake, but this was lots of fun ...

Um...

In the future, that's in violation of the tanking rules.

why?
we always allowed to trade good player for expiring and/or picks.

[KingsGM-old]

Yeah, but me being me, just can't keep my mouth shut.

Yeah, but what happens when you trade expiring for expiring and no picks?
