Re: Kings land Ike Diogu in the 3-team trade involving Bulls and Blazers
[QUOTE=RoseCity07]Maybe. Not sure how it works. I think Portland is allowed to take in more money or something. We traded too much salary to the Knicks and we were able to spend 3 million to bring in Jones. So I don't think we are going to be able to buy Vince Carter off of New Jersey for 3 million.
I wish I understood the trade exception better. I'm going to go read the CBA.[/QUOTE]
I think a trade exception means you can trade a guy worth say 10 mill and the exception for a guy worth 13 mill. It makes contracts match...acts as a filler i'm thinking.
Re: Kings land Ike Diogu in the 3-team trade involving Bulls and Blazers
Maybe the Kings are hoping out of all the first-round selections in the post they've got under contract (Gooden, Hawes, Thompson, Diogu, Simmons) they'll get a star.
Re: Kings land Ike Diogu in the 3-team trade involving Bulls and Blazers
Kings making some puzzling moves, stocking up on mediocre young big men, plus Gooden and Moore. And absolutely squandering a valuable piece in Salmons. Considering all the young bigs they have to develop, I would bet money that the Kings draft Brandon Jennings if they don't get a top 5 pick, they need an injection of interesting.
BTW, what expirers do the Kings have? I'm just wondering how many of these bums they have locked up long term? Like, I seriously feel sorry for Kevin Martin, this team is going nowhere.

As a Raptors fan, this is what I remember Michael Ruffin for most:

Re: Kings land Ike Diogu in the 3-team trade involving Bulls and Blazers
A trade exception means you can bring a player in and not have to trade one of your players for him.
Basicaly you can just buy a player from another team. In Portlands case they can spend 3m.
Portland was not going to sign Diogu anyway. So they turned nothing into something. smart move.

Re: Kings land Ike Diogu in the 3-team trade involving Bulls and Blazers
This is going to look like a completely different Kings team by seasons end... and from the fans, management and owners perspective that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Pretty sure Bobby Jackson is the only noteworthy expirer they still have.
Re: Kings land Ike Diogu in the 3-team trade involving Bulls and Blazers

They might release him, so he can sign with some team on a playoff run.
He'd be great for the Hawks or Heat.

He's not getting waived.
