After messing around on the NBA Trade Machine I don't think you can package a TPE + player for another player. I read that you can't use multiple exceptions on the same player and apparently the whole 125% + 100k is considered an exception. Being able to combine it would be awesome though.

Love is a great player, but I can honestly say I'm glad I won't have to cheer for the person anymore! The future is bright, better get your sun glasses ready! :cool:

Nope, but Young and Bennett are going to make us say "Kevin who?"!

Stop it, 0% chance that happens

Which part...signing Love as a free agent, or Young and Bennett being good?

That young and Bennett will make us say Kevin who

We can accept a player's salary with it basically. Can't send out a player and use it, I believe. A lot of the time, teams use them to accept bad contracts while receiving a 1st round pick for doing so.

Good explanation Cam

Now we just need to snag LA from Portland next offseason and complete the rebuild.

Pretty sure that's how it is too. Other players can be involved in the overall trade, but it's like a separate trade within the main trade.

I originally that Flip would want his veteran lineup to start but I also can't see them having a 2nd unit of Mo Williams with Lavine, Wiggins, Bennett and Dieng. Granted they can do the rotations a bit differently and stuff but with this much youth I almost think they will have to.

Wiggins is a wolf!!!

As well as Bennett and Young!!!

Kudos to Flip!

I`m so excited for the trade and also for the season.

Now after the trade is completed:

Do you guys think we are going to move Barea before the season starts?

I was really exited when we drafted G. Robinson III at the second round, do you guys thing we are going to sign him this year (We need to open up one spot on the roster)?

I don`t understand, why we had sign Hummel so early? I`d rather sign G. Robinson III instead of him.

Flip should have done the Chicago deal. :)
