By diehard Go To PostSorry no, D-Mo.Yeah, I guess so. I have a soft spot for him. When Howard, Jones and Beverley were out last season, we were winning with Harden, Ariza, DMo and a random assortment of other players. Really hope he gets over the back issues.
By Smokey Go To Posta warm body worksLol, we give Jones so much shit. Whenever I watch him, he seems like he has the worst FG% on layups, but perhaps he could work somewhere else.

Dat defense. Dem handles. Mm.
Don't see Frye doing anything for Cleveland. Surprised they didn't find a way to ship Love off and get Ryno somehow.
The Atlanta Hawks are trading guard Shelvin Mack to the Utah Jazz for a second round draft pick, league sources tell https://twitter.com/TheVertical">@TheVertical.

Varejao to Portland is your meet the floor minimum trade of the day and Frye to Cleveland is your save capspace trade of the day.
By reilo Go To PostVarejao to Portland is your meet the floor minimum trade of the day and Frye to Cleveland is your save capspace trade of the day.Why would Portland care about meeting the salary floor?
By Kibner Go To PostWhy would Portland care about meeting the salary floor?huh? You surrender that money to the league if you don't.
By diehard Go To Posthuh? You surrender that money to the league if you don't.You pay it out to the remaining guys on the roster. There is no actual penalty and it can serve as good will to the guys you have at the end of the season.
By Kibner Go To PostWhy would Portland care about meeting the salary floor?Every team does it but I think there's more to it than just spreading the salary around. Probably has cap implications. Not sure.
By Bowser Go To PostCavs sending a conditional 1st to Portland as well…wonder what the conditions areThat's cool.
By Kibner Go To PostYou pay it out to the remaining guys on the roster. There is no actual penalty and it can serve as good will to the guys you have at the end of the season.Ok why not get an asset instead?
So, what's the point of getting Channing Frye if you're just using Kevin Love like you would Channing Frye?
By reilo Go To PostSo, what's the point of getting Channing Frye if you're just using Kevin Love like you would Channing Frye?Bolster the bench?
RT @WojVerticalNBA The Portland Trail Blazers will likely waive Anderson Varejao, league sources tell @TheVertical.
I guess they just wanted the first rounder lol.
I guess they just wanted the first rounder lol.
By diehard Go To PostOk why not get an asset instead?Varejao isn't an easily moveable asset at this point and he isn't a player the Blazers want to keep.
I am now hearing some talk about a pick of some sort going Portland's way and now this move makes way more sense.
e: I made my original comment with only the knowledge that Portland was only getting Varejao in return.

One player to watch, as related to Heat today.... Portland's Gerald Henderson. Last year of deal, making $6M.
I assume they'd try to swap Deng for Hendo...similar players and would save Miami tax dollars.

Portland is probably getting a conditional first round pick for 2016, I imagine. If they make the playoffs, they lose their pick to Denver as part of the Afflalo trade.
Cavs better hope they win something cause right now they're kinda wheeling and dealing like the Nets have under Phrokorov.
Player Agent and GM Lebron coming through again, 10% of that is going to Lebron's agency. At least, I think he's part of Lebron's agency.
Portland can stretch Varejao's $9.8m owed in 2016-17 and 17-18 over 5 years starting in July.Kewl.
Portland is waiving guard Tim Frazier to clear a roster spot to absorb Anderson Varejao from Cleveland, league source tells The Vertical.No :*(

P.J. Tucker is among the Suns' better assets but a source said the Suns have told him that he will not be traded before today's deadline.
Sucks for tucker. Solid guy being wasted here, and won't get much PT next year.
By knux-future Go To PostHinkie pls keep not doing anything.
I can feel his jealousy radiating from Philadelphia.

Basically it's what dIEHARD said. Every team views it as dead money if you don't meet the cap floor. The money gets spread but it stays in that team.
By reilo Go To PostEvery team does it but I think there's more to it than just spreading the salary around. Probably has cap implications. Not sure.
No cap implications.

By Bowser Go To PostWoj says DJ Augustin to Denver for FoyeFor ***** ****? Did they mean somebody else?
edit: actually also Steve Novak and 2 2nds lol
By diehard Go To Postpoor Novak can't stay in one place
Poor nothing he got paid well for one good year running a D'antoni style offense
Presti: "The Warriors and Spurs are really good. We need to do something to bolster our back-court play to match up with Curry, Klay, Barbosa and Livingston better."
Presti: "***** **** it is."

Wonder what year those picks are.
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostPoor nothing he got paid well for one good year running a D'antoni style offenseHe got paid for NY Fan Stupidity. Buying all in to a specialist, again, and glossing his floors, again.
I just got followed by a guy on Twitter that covers the Knicks for a living. He must not know me very well.
By Bowser Go To Post2018 protected first it is for PortlandThat Top 10 pick will look great once Lebron bails in Summer 2017. Well, depending on the protections.
By reilo Go To PostPresti: "The Warriors and Spurs are really good. We need to do something to bolster our back-court play to match up with Curry, Klay, Barbosa and Livingston better."Seriously, Why **** when you can Tucker. Assume suns wanted more.
Presti: "***** **** it is."
Damn, you forget ***** **** has been around for ages, he's 32.
By giririsss Go To PostSeriously, Why **** when you can Tucker. Assume suns wanted more.He's same draft as Roy and Aldridge.
Damn, you forget ***** **** has been around for ages, he's 32.
