TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[F Gump]

Thanks for that explanation.  I understood it that each transaction created its own exception, not that the whole aggregate was then seen from each side of the transaction.  Illuminating.  

I still don't know why powell and plumlee would be included in this trade suggestion then, unless you view Powell as a substantial asset that incentivizes CHA to do the deal, since he costs CHA 2M more than Plumlee.  The deal works without them, and CHA's motivation is for cap relief.

why powell and plumlee would be included in this trade suggestion...?

The deal does NOT work w/o them. Without Powell, you can't match the Hayward salary. THJ + Green isn't enough.

So Powell MUST be included. Or another someone. Once you add Powell, you can take back BOTH GH and PJW. . Plumlee then makes sense on both sides to be moved from CHA to DAL using the TPE.
