    Portland sends Outlaw out. Receives Lee. Lee signed to a multi-year deal starting at say $8M.

    New York sends Lee out. New York receives Outlaw.

    We wouldn't have money to sign Miller to a deal outright. We'd have to work a sign-and-trade with Blake headed to Philly.

    Is that what you're thinking?

    Was thinking Outlaw and Blake together, with added incentive to NY if need be.

    Can't do that. Lee is a BYC at that point and New York at that point can only take back half of what Lee is newly signed for. If Lee makes $8M in the new salary, they can only get back $4M.

    I was hoping this meant we gave Brandon Roy his contract extension.

    Re: BREAKING NEWS

    Here's an idea.

    Portland sends Outlaw to New York. New York signs-and-trades Lee for a starting multi-year deal of $7.2M. This satisfies the CBA and Lee's BYC status.

    Portland sends Blake to Philly in a sign-and-trade for Miller.

    Lee does not become BYC, I believe, if he is signed with cap space. Not sure how S&T works with that, but I believe it would be the same. Hmmm, maybe not. Can't get a definitive answer on that.

    Read my thread on "Jason Quick updates the David Lee situation." That ship has sailed.

    In the below deal, we use up $3.6M of our $7.7M. This leaves us with $4.1M. We then use up 3M in our spending money for Miller. We're left with $1.1M. Done.

    He's coming off a rookie deal. His salary is going up more than 20%. The CBA requires him to become a BYC if he's signed, even in a S&T.

    Re: BREAKING NEWS

    CBA says if he is signed by a team over the cap, he becomes BYC. If WE signed him, he wouldn't be. But I think trading him to us might still make him one, so nevermind.

    This thread has died and morphed into every other thread past 3 pages about ridiculous trade ideas that will never happen.

    R.I.P thread.

    Right, because the team signing him is NY, who is over the cap.

    Well I think everything that can be said about Andre Miller has been said for the past month.

    Like that isn't this whole board? We still have one guy who hasn't got over the fact that Rubio was drafted by the Timberwolves, and that was a month ago. :devilwink:

    Re: BREAKING NEWS

    A lot of Sixers fans upset about no sign and trade with him. They've basically been left without a point guard to run their team.

    So we gave him a Blake/Outlaw style contract, except worth more. I wonder what plans are in store for those two, speaking of which, if Miller takes it?

    Re: BREAKING NEWS

    I posted earlier that I was surprised Philly didn't want a sign-and-trade. Or maybe Portland doesn't want to give up Blake, which makes some sense as well.
