Trade & FA 2024-25:

[SleepingHero]

We have to think on two planes.  One is legal versus the trade rules (as you’ve done here) and one is legal versus the apron rules.  That is the point FG is making in saying we need one more player added to the proposed deal.  We need to send out more salary than we take back or we are hard capped.

BTW, I’m listening to the latest Locked On driving home from a weekend in Fort Worth.  Nick doesn’t get this stuff AT ALL.  He needs to hire FG as a consultant or CBA Mavs or someone.

Ok thanks that clarifies it for sure. Thank you.


Regarding Locked On, CBA intricacies have never been Nick or Isaac's forte. I remember Nick this entire year basically saying it's impossible to trade Josh Green because of his poison pill contract.

I'd say he should be better at this by now after 7 years, but truthfully covering the team every day and having to make a 30 minute podcast is a lot. So he probably doesn't have the desire to learn it.
