Carney: I Got Traded For Money

DynastYWarrioR6 · Nov 20, 2008

When the Sixers needed just a little more cap space to sign Elton Brand, they traded Rodney Carney and Calvin Booth to the Minnesota Timberwolves, essentially for a second-round draft choice. The club even agreed to continue to pay Booth's salary and about two-thirds of Carney's salary.

"It was kind of weird," Carney said. "I was sitting at home when [the Sixers] called and said I had been traded. I asked who I got traded for and they said they couldn't tell me. The way I look at it is, I got traded for them to get Brand. I got traded for money.

"It's still a business. I had to pick up and move. I couldn't do much about it. They had to make some moves in order to get a better team, and they did that. Hopefully, it's a good opportunity for me, but it's still a learning experience."
