Would I do these trades depends on what time of night I am calling other team’s GMs.

Any how, before A. Tucker got traded I thought of the following trade it worked on the ESPN trade machine but next day he got traded and I didn’t publish it.

We send Amare, Tucker, Griffin, & Collins to New York for D Lee, J Jefferies and C. Mobley. Maybe convince New York to cut Collins and griffin not take their options and we can re sign them for rest of season and keep the 13 man team. With this trade New York would get there payroll down from $83m to $77m.

Anyhow the numbers game, the payroll of the team would be $79.5 million with the $9.5m of C Mobley being covered by insurance.

Therefore it wouldn’t be any different to now because we are $75m now therefore $5m million goes to player’s contracts and the other $5m to go to luxury tax bill.

Another crazy trade ship J rich to Dallas for J Howard. $10.89 is Howard’s 1 year contract and $13.33 and $14.44 is J rich contract, works on ESPN Trade Machine. This trade might not happen because of Sarver and Cuban and their wired relationship (let’s call it love) but Dallas needs a 2man and we get a crazy man.

If all of the above would take place next year our wage bill would be $35million Because D Lee and Howard’s contract comes off the books as well as Frye bolting for a better contract but J Jefferies has a player option of 6.8m.

Obviously loads of players in free agency lets say cap is $53M

£9m each to sign J.Johnson and D Lee which gets us to $53m I know I know I have not slept well past couple of nights.

I would say MLE to sign JHoward or CFrye but I think we can’t do that because click link, point no2

Like I said just for something to comment on because no game today, all criticisms welcome.
