Alonzo Gee Acquired From Cleveland For Haywood and Powell

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

@rick_bonnell: Apparently Alonzo Gee is part of Cavs-Hornets trade. But I'm told Gee's salary next season is unguaranteed.

@rick_bonnell: The Hornets-Cavs trade will not be official until July. Assume Cavs cannot absorb Haywood salary until new cap year.

Hornets will decline to pick up Gee's option and Gee will become a free agent.

Aww, man...  He's actually a decent player.  I used to trade for him and make him my starter like two years ago on 2K because of his athleticism, shooting, and potential.

 

LOL...

 

But, more cap space for a big FA signing is nothing to complain about.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

This trade will add an additional $2,000,000 in cap space for the Hornets.

Did we complete this trade already? I hear we were going to waive this guy to add more cap space? His contract is only partially guaranteed.....

Not sure yet.

Stein tweeted this, so I'm not sure what that trade actually was.

Sources say Cavs in midst of making moves to create extra cap space to give LeBron his max and close to dealing Alonzo Gee to New Orleans

No deal never went through. Cavs now trying to trade Gee to pelicans. Haywood trade is

Still going to happen in a different trade.

So we own Dwight Powells rights?

This is why the NBA having to approve trades is ridiculous.

Not sure if he's still part of the trade or not. Haywood is still going to Cavs and that's all I've seen.

RE

ESPN sources say Cavs have other means to acquire Brendan Haywood from Charlotte as planned and thus also send Alonzo Gee to New Orleans
