    Can someone name some examples of big trades in which a team with cap space was able to make a lopsided trade to another team to clear cap space?

    Not talking about consolidation or 3 for 1 or expiring contracts....I mean one that actually uses the huge amounts of cap space to make up a difference in salaries to make a "trade work"?

    Thank you, online people!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Recently was last year's trade of Marcus Camby for a second round pick. The pick had no "salary value"...all of Camby's salary was matched by the Clippers' cap space.

    Too bad the Slippers don't have a single player Portland would want. Otherwise they might be willing to make such a trade with Portland.

    First, trade Outlaw and picks for Conley (no real cap eater) Just a trade.

    Then, as far as lopsided trades go - send Batum and Bayless to Charlotte for G.Wallace and Felton.



    Conley, Blake, Felton
    Roy/Rudy
    G. Wallace/ Webs / Cunningham
    LMA/Pendergraph/ Help
    Oden/Pryz
