technically yes, but teams get by this with a very easy loophole... technically it would be something like Bayless for Anderson, then Peja for Banks and Jack... b/c you can trade him in a one for one swap... it's the same way that teams use TPEs in multiplayer trades, you break them into smaller trades to get by the little problems... it works...
Re: Raptor - Hornet Trade
Great trade for the Raptors.
Re: Raptor - Hornet Trade
So Colangelo wants to get a better look at Peja before offering him a 4yr/30 million extension?

[QUOTE=Rekindled]terrible trade for NOH. who plays back up SF for them now?[/QUOTE]
Quincy was a combo forward. He might get more time.
Re: Raptor - Hornet Trade
This trade doesn't make any sense.
NOH should have used Peja's expirer to get some help, so the only help they get is... a point guard? :ohwell:
And the Raps trade away their starting PG for an expirer? :facepalm
Re: Raptor - Hornet Trade
This trade is not possible. It doesn't work under CBA rules. Toronto is taking back too much salary. There will have to be an adjustment, because this 5 man trade can't happen. Toronto will have to throw in another player.

It doesn't matter if broken into two trades. Still doesn't work.
It's broken into two trades because of Bayless, but that has nothing to do with salary matching. Two different issues.

The Raptors have a huge trade exception. Maybe they used that?
Re: Raptor - Hornet Trade
Second time Jarrett Jack and Jerryd Bayless have been traded for one another, and neither team from the original deal is involved. Gotta love the NBA.

Well to be fair, both the Raptor's PG's are pretty average-below average starting point guards right now so the fact that one is a starter isn't a big acomplishment.
It looks like the value of expiring contracts has taken quite the dip. Where as before, an impact player could possibly be obtained, the Hornets just got role players :ohwell:

OK that would make sense. Bayless can be traded to Toronto for exception. And Peja can be traded for those 3 guys. That could work.
Re: Raptor - Hornet Trade
WTF. this deal is stupid!!!!! you could go into the offseason having enough money to chase Melo or whoever, and still have Bayless(loaded with potential) or you could...flip him for Iggy later in the season. This is one of the worst deals ever. Banks=suckage Anderson=suckage. Jack=good. But still. Bayless will probably be better than him. They can still chase after Melo or whoever they want but really. This is what they use the Peja contract for?
