Optimist Prime Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 I'm looking at the OKC roster, and they have a lot of good young short term contracts. If we can snag a first or two from them + a few of those contracts, I don't see why that isn't a bad trade if we can dump Gil/Hedon't off on them as well. The least that can happen is we still get some exciting basketball for a bit with their young guys, then we can use the expirings as trade chips for first rounders and cap relief. That would also allow them to cause a ruckus out West, and let's us deal with the East and not worry about Dwight bouncing us out of the playoffs for years to come. Quote
BMP Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 People thinking there's a realistic scenario where the Magic trade Howard AND dump Hedo and Arenas should probably just give it up. The salary of the 3 combined take up AT LEAST 50% of the salary of every team in the NBA (for 2010-2011) The average salary in the NBA (total salaries / 30 teams) is roughly $67million. Howard, Arenas, and Hedo make up for 72% of the salary of the average team. . . the Sacramento Kings paid less for their entire roster than you'd have to pay for those 3. I know, a bunch of numbers, but I'm bored and wanted to prove a point, which is that no team will be able to take those three without completely gutting their roster or trading back bad salaries, which would be awfully redundant.

That's why I ended my post with, "In other words, there's no way I would ever trade Dwight." I understand that there is no realistic way to exchange that much salary, much less swap it for expiring contracts. Quote
