    As shitty as he has been, i don't see him being given away for nothing, especially to the Lakers.

    Well ... considering he's probably going to be let go for nothing when his contract expires, I'd say a trade exception would be fine ... except that LA is hopelessly over the cap. So ...

    Interesting. Who would that make the PG?

    That doesn't matter to a trade exception.
    (It works in the trade machine.)

    Could the Blazers then use the trade exception, and does it expire?

    Blazers would have a year to use it, but it would count against the cap.

    I guess I forgot that they actually have a trade exception to use. But wow, imagine paying Felton 7 million dollars for the next 30 games. Jim Buss for executive of the year.

    It sure would be nice to have a fucking GM on the payroll.

    They'd go from having 2 really bad PG's to 3 really bad PG's

    Happy Jerry West is no longer there running things.

    If this happens, then we would not have to waive Armon or Oden to sign Przy.

    Just fyi.

    I'd do it just to watch LA suffer.

    Silly how the luxury tax rules are, but they would be paying Felton's salary in dollar for dollar penalties plus any salary he earns for the rest of the year. I doubt this is true.

    During other seasons this could make a lot of sense, but for us not this year. We only have ~$25million in guaranteed contracts next season, so we would have to renounce the trade exception anyways. It really won't do us any good. Better to just hold on to Felton even as a backup and keep his free agent rights for the offseason. We may be able to include him in a larger sign and trade (NY Knicks?) or possibly resign him for a cheap one year deal if he feels like getting in shape and redeeming himself.

    I don't necessarly think Felton is worth terribly much more then nothing right now, but he is worth slight more then nothing. The trade exception is worth even closer to nothing than Felton is to us.

    Do they still have their first round pick? The Blazers might actually be able to get a useful player in this draft if they have several picks.
