Thus making it a lot easier to offset Noah trying to ruin their tanking this season. Cutting Boozer, Gibson, and Dunleavy leaves Chicago at 36 million in salaries so 20+ in cap space and over 30 below tax.
Until our 2014 pick has been officially conveyed, we cannot trade our 2016 pick. Technically, the pick still has contingencies that could push it out to 2016, meaning that deadline deals can't include any 1st-round pick prior to 2018.
I really appreciate people who go to the trouble of trying to find good trades for us, and i can see a lot of effort went into trying to make this work for everyone. I hope we can see more threads like this. I do agree Chicago probably wouldn't like this. they would not want to trade two fairly young guys on reasonable contracts. I can see Phoenix maybe doing it, but not throwing in a draft pick also.
Edited because I was being a jerk. I obviously was talking about what you brang up, but I didn't mean to be a d-bag about it. My bad.
Not true we can include a pick as early as 2016 it just has to be dependent on the Bobcats getting the pick this year, right now a virtual lock, if they don't then the pick can scale to 2017 or 2018 as needed to comply with the rules.
We can only include 2016 if the language designates the pick as "first allowable", but to do that, it would have to be unprotected, which teams rarely do. For protections to be placed, years have to be specified. Edit: Actually, looking further into cba faq #86, it appears that "first allowable" is only available when trading two first-round picks in the same deal, when the first pick is protected.
You can trade a #1 pick on draft day, if you have it. No matter if you've traded the previous or next one already.
You realize that, while true, that fact is completely irrelevant to the discussion on potential trade-deadline deals, correct?
