Cavs/Sonics Trade - on hold

[CavsGM]

Not really. In the Hornets deal, I do a 4 for 3. Then I have 14 on my roster. Cut Battie, now I have 13. Here I gain two, making me at 15...What's the problem???

According to my sheet, these would be your (16) players after both deals:

271   Greg Ostertag
570   Ethan Fletcher
255   Malik Rose
338   Kurt Thomas
403   Joe Smith
223   Jalen Rose
254   Benjamin Piatkowski
358   Grant Nesterovich
513   Mickael Pietrus
213   Gordan Giricek
266   Brent Barry
395   Fred Hoiberg
56   Dawson Wooden
100   Garrett Ward
545   Andre Miller
579   Jeff McInnis

didn't re-check that, but hope that helps ...

You had 15 players.

You cut 1, that leaves you with 14

Lamar Odom for McDyess/McInnis (+1) puts you back at 15.

McDyess, Elson, George for Rose, Thomas (-1) puts you at 14.

you need 2 roster spots for this trade.

Wow, missed that completely. For some reason I thought that in the Hornets trade overall I give up one more player then I recieve but it's really just a 3 for 3. Stupid mistake. I'll now cut Fred Hoiberg to make the room.
