Successful Scenario
Due to Sacramento, Boston, and New York being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Sacramento, Boston, and New York had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.








What do you guys think about this trade? Is it fair for all 3 sides? I'm pretty sure Sac and NY would easily pull the trigger, but would Bos?

Boston wants a vet like Bibby to put next to Pierce so why would they get rid of him?

and why do we take Pierce and put him into a situation very similar to the one he was in in Boston where he basically has no help (other than Kevin)?
