    Still no word on the protection of this. Likely Lottery protected the first season and then less protected in subsequent years.

    I want to see what the protection is on that pick.

    Considering they only have to pay 1/3 of his salary for this year, but the entirety of that salary goes against their salary floor obligations, they actually save 6M this year by trading for him. All in all, he costs the team $3M over the span of 6 years. When considering time value of money, he's basically free.

    My guess: Double-bagged first year, single-bagged second year, raw dog third year.

    We can use Andy's full salary this year to count towards the minimum, so we are paying little for it.

    Damn 2018 pick? Thats awhile from now, meh underwhelming trade. I was hoping IF somehow we made the playoffs we'd still be in the draft this year.. Ah well

    So you're saying this trade "moves the needle"?

    Plus we can still buy a pick at draft time since we technically didn't buy this one.

    Eh, only two seasons. I bet Boston fans thought the same when they traded Pierce and KG... Man like 3 years and look at what they're getting from the Nets lol

    Yeah; have only seen mid to late second round picks sold for cash. Very different than 10 years ago when there were cheaper owners.

    There used to be a day when all you had to do to get a first round pick was throw 3mil Robert Sarver's way and he'd cough up picks in a hurry.

    Now we have to go thru this whole exercise and take on so much $ to get a pick.

    We're gonna take $4M a year off our cap space for a likely late 1st Round Pick in 2018? Awful

    I don't think that'll be the POV in 2018. The farther away the better. We have enough young players now. Neil will be telling folks for the next couple of years how great the 2018 draft is going to be :)

    1.96 MIL off our cap space in future years (after this one) is the number I heard.

    I believe it is a little less that 2 mil in a cap well north of 90 mil

    The move we now need to make.


    Send Varejo/Kaman/Leonard to Phili for Okafor. Id even toss in Hendo to make it happen if that seals the deal.

    Is that enough to make it happen?

    Assuming we don't do anything else, I'd be cool with signing Wroten as a tryout for next season.
