The nepotism angle is finally dead:blessed:


-props to Austin tho.. he had a lot of fight and showed up in big games. Being consistent on a night in night out basis was his problem. Plus it always seemed like he was guaranteed big minutes from pops no matter how he played and this caused alot of friction in the locker room over the years. Now Doc can just straight coach without looking out of Junior and Austin gets to get from out of his father's shadow. Works great for both parties.

Gortat is insurance for us in case DJ is leaving and I believe him and Austin come off the books next year. Good trade for both teams.:ehh:

We all kno dj gone opt in and ask for a trade.. Or be traded.. But I feel this deal could have waited and he could have been moved with Austin for something really good back.. Idk.. Well now lets just get rid of denalo and we good

I like the deal for Washington tbh

Gortat is washed and was a problem in the locker room, I don’t think it will be that hard to find a solid replacement. Plus this helps their bench out a lot which was their biggest weakness from a roster standpoint. Rivers is a significant upgrade over Meeks

Once you trade for a player there's a six month window where you can only trade them alone but not as part of a package going out.

Misconception #1: A player can’t be traded twice in a row.

There are a number of rules in the CBA that limit a team’s ability to reacquire a player after trading him. For instance, the Bucks weren’t able to re-sign Greg Monroe after the Sunsbought him out last week, since Milwaukee traded Monroe to Phoenix earlier this season. The Celtics currently aren’t able to reacquire Avery Bradley in a trade, since they dealt him to Detroit at the start of the 2017/18 league year.

However, even though the Celtics and Pistonscan’t currently acquire Bradley from the Clippers, the veteran guard is eligible to be traded again this week. The CBA only prevents the Clips from aggregating Bradley’s salary with another player’s salary in a trade for two months after acquiring him.

What exactly does that mean? Well, Bradley is currently earning $8,808,989. So if the Clippers want to acquire a player earning $20MM by packaging Bradley with Austin Rivers (whose salary is $11,825,000), they wouldn’t be able to do so, since Bradley’s salary would have to be aggregated with Rivers’ to match that $20MM cap figure. But if the Clips simply want to acquire a player earning $9MM, sending out Bradley on his own would be fine, since his salary isn’t been aggregated with another player’s salary in that scenario.

This doesn’t mean that Bradley has to be the only outgoing piece in any trade involving him. For instance, if the Clippers wanted to trade Bradley and DeAndre Jordan ($22,642,350) for a player earning $25MM, that would be okay. Jordan’s salary on its own is large enough to “match” a player earning $25MM, so Bradley’s salary doesn’t need to be aggregated with Jordan’s, even though it’d be a two-for-one deal.

Your right I forgot about this I was thinking they could because the new nba calendar changes July 1st but he can still be traded before the summer is over. They only have to wait 2 months which would be the end of August
