you know Frenchie i can't believe you. If you don't think that trade makes us contenders you're a lost cause. You mean to say we can't add a contract or two. You know how much KG makes, what front office are you in.
toby... i'll try to explain the cap and how it works
kg makes 21m per year, while eddie makes 8m and nate 1m... thats a total of 9m (give or take acouple of hundred thousand)
both teams are over the cap which is around 53m
THEREFORE.. and here is where u have to pay attention.. for two teams to make a trade the salaries of the traded players must be with 10/12%
now u are a smart boy... is 21m within 10% of 9m????
as to what front office i am in... i am not in any... another lesson for u... type in yahoo or google nba salaries, and u will see what every player makes... its real simple.... again and i'll say it real slow this time
n b a s a l a r i e s...
now if u understand the above, u will understand how the stevie francis trade happened (another one of your posts)
see stevie was making 16 or 17, and penny was making 16 or 17, so the trade could be made... trevor being a 2nd round pick was making garbage (500/750 thou), so he was a throw-in..
and what did each team get... well orlando got 17m of cap space, and a pretty good 6-7-8 man off the bench... and what did we get... a player who is untradeable until
feb 09...
and as i said, i am not from paris, but its a lovely city... have u ever been there??
