    Can't do it in the CBA. Has to be structured as a trade for TE alone for player(s) and (if wanted) something else as a separate trade. Can't work here - as we need someone else with Pryz for Crash.

    Only if what you're absorbing is a player whose salary is less than or equal to the value of said exception. It can not be used for Wallace. This is absolute, 100%, guaranteed, certain fact.

    Well--for example, when we were looking at trading for Anthony Randolph. We could have used the trade exception to trade a pick for him without having to match salaries.

    No, it doesn't. It allows us to bring in a player less than the amount of the trade exception (in this case 2.302M), but we still don't meet the threshold of 125% + 100k.

    To get a "Free" player or two from another team for "nothing" or as a trick with multiple trades.

    It is what it is - and we can not combine it with Pryz. for Crash.

    In this particular situation it is useless because Wallace makes more than the exception. If we were going after a lower-priced guy like Speights, and Philly just wanted cap relief, cash and a pick, then it would be the perfect asset. It just depends upon the situation.

    there's a reason that guy isn't an assistant coach anymore. He was cutting every player with tattoos and long hair

    Exactly. Quick has been worse than his normal self this year and trying to predict what the Blazers are doing . . . I really believe he is the most frustrated one and is spinning this as some sort of Blazer management doesn't know what they are doing.

    It is Quick who doesn't know what is going on and has to make it look like somehow he is still in the loop. So he creates the owner and GM are at odds so i can't tell you what is going to happen . .. I don't buy that for a second.
