But reports indicate the Wolves are looking to shed salary by trading guaranteed contracts and taking on unguaranteed contracts. Not seeing how it makes sense to trade Budinger for Korver in that case... If the Wolves are looking to shed salary, the bulls are not a trading partner. period.

Quin Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Noah looks like a steal contract after this offseason. Also, I'd take Ellington and a second for Korver. I'd rather have Korver, but I really like Ellington out of college. Maybe going from the environment of the TWolves to the Bulls could help him. Also, I miss being able to like Jesus Shuttlesworth. Ray was one of my favorite non-Bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Can someone explain to me exactly what is gained by getting the TPE? How does that help us get Mayo? Edited July 11, 2012 by Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that help us get Mayo? Basically, if they traded Korver and took on no salary, they'd get a trade exception that allows them to add $5.1 mil (Korver's salary plus 100k, can't be combined with other salary figures) via trade. So in theory, they'd be able to have Memphis sign-and-trade Mayo to the Bulls at a salary starting at up to $5.1 mil and use the trade exception and maybe send the Grizz a 2nd rounder to make it work.

No, the exception can't be combined with other salaries. It can only be combined with cash or picks, neither of which have a salary value for trading purposes.

RZZZA Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 It looks like it could be a two-way race for veteran scorer Michael Redd this summer. Chris Tomasson of FOX Sports Florida writes that Phoenix and Chicago are both interested in adding Redd, who turns 33 next month. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bulls/post..._medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZZZA Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) He did manage to play 51 games last year, promising sign for him. And when he's on the court he can still create his own shot and be a play maker. Maybe this is the plan: compile a roster of injury prone players ----> players get injured ----> Tank '12-'13 For Derrick Edited July 11, 2012 by RZZZA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Here is a nice synopses of the Howard/Magic/Nets situation. As the Brooklyn Nets warded off the advances of a potentially devastating Charlotte Bobcats offer sheet for Brook Lopez, time was running out on the franchise's ability to give Dwight Howard a trade to his preferred destination. The Nets and Brook Lopez moved closer to completing an agreement for a five-year, $78 million maximum contract extension, sources told Yahoo! Sports. Once Lopez signs with Brooklyn, the franchise's pursuit of a Howard deal officially ends. ----- Nets president Billy King made an improved offer on Wednesday morning to spare the Nets the turmoil of Lopez signing an offer sheet with the Bobcats, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. King made the first four years and $58 million of the extension fully guaranteed – no partial guarantees to account for Lopez’s foot problems – and the two sides were negotiating on the fifth year of a potential $78 million extension. King was meeting with Lopez’s agent, Arn Tellem, on Wednesday in Los Angeles. Now, the Bobcats can’t offer Lopez more guaranteed money than the Nets are giving him. Once an agreement is reached on Wednesday, the Nets still had a window to try and complete a sign-and-trade deal with Orlando for Howard, but the possibility was fading fast. Once Lopez signs with the Nets – or were to sign an offer sheet – the Nets would no longer be able to use him in a sign-and-trade scenario.

Orlando will now focus on coaching search. @sheridanhoops Breaking news: #Nets are out of Dwight Howard sweepstakes. They will keep Brook Lopez, and probably Kris Humphries, too.

It can only be combined with cash or picks, neither of which have a salary value for trading purposes. Jake - The exception was recently used by the Lakers to get Steve Nash. The Lakers received the exception when they traded Odom to the Mavericks. The only way you can get an exception is if the other team is under the cap (or if the other team has an exception). So in the case of the Wolves, the difference in salary between what the Bulls give up and get in return, would be the exception. They have an expiration period, which I believe to be a 1 year (maybe it is 2 years). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
