Anyone know why the Kings aquired Robin Lopez only to wave him?

Charity.

It was a financial move.

Milwaukee saved paying the luxury tax on his salary by trading him (instead of waiving him), and they sent us some of the money that they saved, which certainly covers the remainder of his contract plus more.

Both teams have a better bottom line because of the deal.

I would have rather Monte get a late 2nd round pick than "cash considerations".

But who knows, maybe Monte doing a "solid" will get us in Milwaukee's good graces and they will trade us Giannis for a couple 2nd rounders in a year or two. LOL.

it doesn’t hurt to do other teams favors once in awhile especially for free. Might need the same from them someday

Aren't we required to send them something in return to make a trade?

 

[Siranthony]

Thanks. I was mystified!

 

[reptilexcq2]

He's not Brook Lopez lol. Kings got the wrong dude, oops.

Haven't looked, but we may of had a trade exemption.

We got cash. We sent the draft rights to Dimitrios Agravanis.

Maybe he would have too? Perhaps that wasn’t an option?? Who knows.

IDC what he nets in a trade so long as it’s helping the franchise one way or another.

I could've sworn I saw, on NBA.com, that we were the ones that sent cash considerations, but also acknowledge that it might have just been my mind trying to play an evil trick on me....

Thanks for correcting me, Sir .

We got cash to pay the remaining salary plus whatever extra.

I didnt see any changes in the latest CBA, but the Maloof rule they put in was a team can receive $3 mil max per year in cash considerations.

I noticed the library stamp on top of the book myself, I actually gained a little respect for the dude. Maybe he and Trey could start a NBA book club together.

Outside of apron teams, it's 5.15% of the salary cap, so sitting at almost exactly $7M this year.
