in these, the waning days of stern: 2013-2014 NBA regular season thread (part 1)

poor d rose

2014 first round draft pick to Cleveland
Sacramento's 1st round pick to Cleveland protected for selections 1-12 in 2014, 1-10 in 2015, 1-10 in 2016 or 1-10 in 2017; if Sacramento has not conveyed a 1st round pick to Cleveland by 2017, then Sacramento will instead convey its 2017 2nd round pick to Cleveland protected for selections 56-60 (if this pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyed, then Sacramento's obligation to Cleveland will be extinguished) [Cleveland-Sacramento, 6/30/2011]

trade rose

welcome to tankapalooza chicago

THE CAVS ARE INSANE

what a shit organization

the bulls also have that bobcats pick first from the tyrus thomas deal they're about to be loaded

are they gonna have cap space now too

so the bulls are getting a first, a swap AND two seconds? plus bynum who at worst has value as an expiring

the cavs are unbelievable

prediction deng will not be playing for the cavs next year

searching twitter for deng and reading randos reactions is p funny

dan gilbert needs to be banned from basketball

in comic sans, natch

YOUR BANNED LOL

what the hell

what about the cavs massively over paying to retain deng thats in play right

the craziest part of this might be the boozer and bynum are gonna be out there for contenders to scoop up

lol at any team taking bynum

boozer back to miami would kill me

clips should 100% take a shot with bynum

yeah bynum is very good at basketball under the right circumstances

boozer in miami is legit scary

they need another big in the worst way and maybe he'll play hard back in LA

boozer is just a worse bosh I don't think that really helps them

also they'd prob get outbid in the auction

wait boozer is gonna get mid-season amnestied?

"under the right circumstances"

they don't want to pay him next year

this is totally fucking insane

someone should burn down dan gilbert's house immediately

right but are they definitely going to do it now vs the offseason? it's been a while since we've had an amnesty i forget the rules

boozer is just a worse bosh I don't think that really helps them

also they'd prob get outbid in the auction

bosh cant play every minute and they can play together some, they prob would get outbid tho, not sure how that works

wow deng turned down a 3/30 extension this story is insane

seems like they would just amnesty booz now to save money and tank, i dont remember how it works either

i mean he'll get more than that but damn

he gets cut and whatever team wants to pay the most for him gets him at that price and the rest of the bill is covered by the old team but doesn't count against their cap iirc

or maybe the player can chose where he wants to go?

if teams are interested

he gets paid his salary either way

i don't think the player can choose unless no one puts in a bid

Teams can claim an amnestied player at a reduced rate, with the waiving team responsible for paying the balance of the contract. The team with the highest bid acquires the player. If unclaimed, the player becomes a free agent.[6] Teams over the salary cap can only acquire an amnestied player if he becomes a free agent and the offer would be limited to the veteran's minimum contract.

ah so ty

we should poll where he will end up

so someone under the salary cap aka not a contender will prob pick up booze cheap and bynum will prob end up a free agent and maybe retire

rip bulls

someone will bid in Bynum

i wonder if a team w cap space would be allowed to sign booz then trade him and his new low salary to a contender and extract a draft pick or w/e in the process

haha that would be cold as hell
