    I've heard it on good authority Paul George has a bigger prodding center than Hibbert.

    I agree, Lopez is a better player right now than Hibbert, and wouldn't cost 15 million. Hibbert is just a name some people get excited about because he had a good series one time.

    Lopez will get a multi year 10 mil+ offer. Actually Hibbert would be a savings

    Henderson and Kaman to GS
    Hibbert to Portland
    Lee to Indiana

    Not for sure if we can somehow put Luke Ridnour in the trade.

    I read hibbert has an additional $2.3million trade kicker. does the acquiring team have to absorb the additional cap hit?

    Hibbert's current contract is 15 million. And I don't see why Lopez is suddenly such an hot item. He's basically the same player he's always been, and we got him for scraps last year.

    Does not apply to the last year of his contract

    It's only a bonus that isn't applied to cap

    It is applied to the cap.

    The bonus is divided evenly among the years of the contract. $5M kicker, 5 year contract adds $1M per year to his cap hit. The $1M is true for a team receiving him in trade.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    That does seem to make sense. Taking for granted that Indiana wants/is okay with Lee since they're presumably pursuing this, Portland gets a good big man on a one-year deal and Golden State gets immediate cap relief (releasing Kaman's non-guaranteed contract) and Henderson on a one-year deal (it's been mentioned that Golden State doesn't want to add salary beyond next year in return for Lee).

    It's for one year. Lopez would make at least 8 mil per, because what's going around the league. Most likely it will be at least 4 years 36 mil. Last time I checked 36 mil is more than 15

    Seems like a no-brainer rental for a year at the very least if that is the price that gets it done. However, this basically guarantees that GS gets to keep Drymond Green. So in a sense we are helping them the most.

    I obviously meant that the Warriors were unbiased towards Hibbert. Sheesh, man.

    How expensive a player is usually referred to on a per year basis.

    They can keep Green regardless of whether they dump Lee. Dropping salary is to avoid a gigantic luxury tax bill (one that Warriors' owner Joe Lacob said he will pay if necessary, but would prefer not to especially considering Lee would like to start somewhere else).
