Barbosa
Trade Exception

for

Desmond Mason

Barbosa and the trade exception would do the trick and fall within the 25% rule. Barbosa could be insurance policy if T.J. Ford does not come back full strength.

Mason shot 44% from the field but very poor from 3pt. range. He could be the mid range shoot while on the court

No way on earth Milwaukee does that trade...

Not possible. Can't comine players with an exception because you cannot use the 25% rule.

We need to forget these fantasy Barbosa trade scenarios. The guy has almost no value.

 

[SunsPride]

Barbosa for Mason. Funny

If it is not possible to combine players and trade exceptions how are we getting Diaw and picks plus the trade exception for JJ.

Milwaukee could use the exception to add a additional PF, Joe Smith is the only one on the roster currently. They could add Juwan Howard or Tony Battie those two are currently disposable by Houston and Orlando. Battie has an expiring contract.

We aren't getting a trade exception in the deal. Those reports are based on faulty knowledge by reporters.

Trade exceptions are an automatic mechanism that is created when there is a difference in incoming and outgoing salaries within a trade.

Proof:

There are some common misconceptions about this exception. For one, teams cannot use this exception to sign free agents; it can be used only to acquire existing contracts from other teams. For another, teams cannot combine this exception with the 115% plus $100,000 margin from the assigned player exception in order to trade for a more expensive player. For example, while a $2 million player can be traded for a $2.4 million player using the assigned player exception, a team with a $1 million trade exception cannot combine the two together and trade their $2 million player for a $3.4 million player (see question number 71 for more information on combining exceptions).



Here is a more complicated example of a legal trade using the traded player exception: A team has a $4 million trade exception from an earlier trade, and a $10 million player it currently wants to trade. Another team has three players making $4 million, $5 million and $6 million, and the two teams want to do a three-for-one trade with these players. This is legal -- the $5 million and $6 million players together make less than the 115% plus $100,000 allowed for the $10 million player ($11,600,000), and the $4 million player exactly fits within the $4 million trade exception. So the $4 million player actually completes the previous trade, leaving the two teams trading a $10 million player for a $5 million and a $6 million player.

That cannot be right. Diaw salary is only 1.1M. JJ will be signing for 14M. Adding the trade exception to Diaw totals 6.1M. That leaves roughly 8M, so the two first round picks are going to be valued at 4M apiece. No way.

If you use the 25% rule here the picks are valued at 2M, that makes more sense and could be a part of the new CBA.

JJ is a BYC player.

His salary is 6.2ish this first year for a trade (12.375 in first year). That is how they get it.

Picks don't have value.

Forgot about the dreaded BYC status.
