Possible Trade Partners For Deng And Hinrich?

[MRN]

I'd like to keep Hinrich honestly, but send Deng's ass packing.

 

[JCM]

oh we will definitely send deng packing if we get LBJ.

I can see a handful of teams showing interest in Hinrich. Deng is another story. That contract combined with his history of injury make him a undesirable acquisition.

Now since a handful of teams are blowing up their rosters in hopes of signing a Lebron, Wade, Bosh, etc, we can hope that a team that strikes out gets desperate and trades for Deng. But who knows what we get in return...

I see it the other way. Deng only makes 2.3 more than Hinrich and is the better player. You make a point about the injuries but, still, Deng averages 8 points more per game and does a lot on defense.

There are teams that Hinrich would be a starting PG for but his salary might be a problem for some of them.

And this is an unprecedented FA class with lots of teams clearing cap space. So the circumstances are a little different now. But go ahead with the chestpounding all you want.

Edit--

Here, I dont know why you kept testing using that when I already told you its outdated. You could have easily looked it up elsewhere.

NBA Salary Cap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That was easy. There's your conclusion.

:bizarro: :bizarro:

You aren't listening...the point is teams are rarely if EVER under the salary cap. Even after this offseason the chances of more than 2-3 teams being under the cap will be rare.

There was 2 teams last year under the cap and neither of those teams could trade uneven money because they were so close to the cap that the trades would make them go over anyway. Which is why you don't see them, ever.

So it's irrelevant to say that teams "can" do it of course they "can" under 100% perfect conditions but it has never once happened...

Because of Bird Rights, expiring contracts, MLE, and the 1,000s of other little cap restrictions and cap exemptions teams are rarely if ever under the cap, not allowing there to really be a trade partner also under said cap. Simply put teams do not ever trade uneven money.

I actually responded to this. Currently, there are a lot of teams under the cap due to an unprecendented FA class. Im not so sure youre not clinging to an outdated truism...or at least to something that doesnt apply this summer.

And you also have teams like Minnesota who are also well under the cap that arent popular destinations for FAs.

Let's talk in late August.

I can see what youre saying. I dont agree but i understand. But money is money and sometimes it makes all of the difference. Hinrich brings leadership and toughness to the PG position which is undervalued IMO. Time will tell.
