Indy didnt lose Peja for nothing after all

[nbrans]

sick and tired of watching us get screwed by getting stuck with KT and Corliss while other teams get breathing space just like that *sigh*

Er, the Pacers basically ended up trading Ron Artest for a scrub and a $7.5 million trade exception that they might not ever use. I wouldn't exactly envy them.

This doesn't really put them in the running for Bonzi. If they wanted to pay him they would have made a S&T offer. Apparently they don't.

Maybe the amount of cash trading hands has something to do with the amount of the trade exception?

So why can't we trade Kenny Thomas away and not have to take salary back? We're nice people...
EDIT: I read that stuff, nbrans, since that's one of my favorite sites to go for on all things related to the CBA. I just didn't understand it...

There's 2 kind of trades in CBA: simultateous and non-simultateous.
Simultaneous is players-for-players. 125%+100,000 rule applies here.
Non-simultateous is players-for-Traded Player Exception. 100%+100,000 rule applies here. A trade cannot be simultateous and non-simultateous at the same time that's why teams cannot combine players with TPEs.
If team has a TPE then it means that less than a year ago they made a trade where they got less salary than they gave away so now they "allowed to take this amount back".

If 64 mln/5 years is right then the minimum Peja's salary can be is 64/6.05=10.6 mln which is greater than 7.5*120%=9mln. and so Peja is a BYC player. That's why as nbrans mentioned for Hornets his trade value was 7.5mln and such a TPE was generated.

Gilles, I sincerely hope you do not think that you helped the situation any with that.

Kenny for their trade exception.

The one in green

What kind of basketball do they play in Europe? Seems like the guy is going for the jewels, now that really makes it a personal foul.
