Troy Daniels to Memphis

[HeatCheck]

Daniels will make $10 million over three years in Memphis. We receive a trade exception.

What the hell is trade exception

Teams with a trade exception have up to a year in which they can acquire more salary in other trades (Trade #2, #3, etc.) than they send away, as long as the gulf in salaries for Trade #2, #3, etc. are less than or equal to the difference in salary for Trade #1.

Yea I'm lost

The cavs used a trade exception to acquire Channing Frye last season.

Basically they can use this Trade Exception of $1.6 million to take on salary they wouldn't normally be able to.

Man, come on.. I really appreciated a player like Daniels. A good Coach turns him into a poor man's Aaron Brooks imho.

$1.6 mil, pfft.. Cho's clearly on the ropes til next off season.

Now this is a deal anyone can hate

Just puts the final question mark on what has been a mystery of an offseason already.  I just don't get it...  IMO, Troy shouldve been getting a lot more minutes than he was here anyway.  There aren't many guys in the league that can sit on a bench for 20+ mins and come out making threes like they've been in the whole game.  I would think that's an asset you'd want to keep...

And then all we get back is a trade exception?  Ridiculous.

I agree 100% - we should keep him to mold him into a starting SG or at least the 1st guy off the bench, like a JR Smith..

but you have to understand the front office mindset on him to see why this is a good move (in their eyes).. they see him as someone that is out of the regular rotation and not cemented in the 2nd unit.. he is expendable to Cho/Cliff.. ship him off for cap room - in my 'conspiracy theory' - it is to give Marvin extra $$$.. he took a pay cut so we could go after another big name, and when we didn't land who he thought we would land = he is upset about taking less and wants what he is due.. i have no idea why he hasn't signed yet like everyone else has.. it's weird when he was the one everyone knew he wasn't going anywhere and staying 'home'.. maybe he saw what happened to D.Wade and was like - "that ain't gon be me!!"

$1.6mil is what we save by shipping him off...

[rico6]

Cho knows he blew his load into getting this team in the playoffs after the Lance debacle. Now he's swinging for the fences next off-season by trying to save every dollar he can. Hopefully it doesn't backfire, but if the Hornets don't get in the playoffs.. let alone advance, he knows he's finished.

Meh we basically just lost him in free agency. I love me some Troy Daniels, but it's not like he would've gotten minutes anyway.
