If that's what actually happened, yeah.

Nice. That's pretty shitty the MLE is no longer tied to average salaries. Man Hunter really fucked the players over in 2011.

He may have been the worst union head in pro sports since the advent of unions in pro sports.

Isn't it? Do we care how it happens if it happens? The bonus to the above scenario is, Portland got nothing in the deal.

ATL got one over on the Spurs in a bubble but makes total sense on both sides. It's on now.

nah. Fehr wanst nearly as bad, he just orchestrated that stupid strike, but the owners were just as fucking guilty. Fehr is what Fehr is, but didnt end up raping his players from his deals signed.

The idea of a three-way trade would be for the Spurs to stay over the cap (which would have had a ton of value to the Spurs). Because that didn't happen, I was pretty adamant that the Spurs should get value for Splitter.

Billy Hunter never managed to cancel the NBA finals.

If we had got no Aldridge, this would have sucked. But just.basically a 3 team trade with blazers getting nothing.

That's because Stern never would have allowed it, mostly because he literally GOT EVERYTHING HE WANTED FROM THE UNION AND THEN SOME.

Fehr wasnt going to let the owners bend over the players sans lube.

MLB is very well off now as a result.

What a steal for us

SA doesn't get a trade exception from the deal since they are using the Cap-room created by the trade, correct?

Semi correct. They get a TE, but have to renounce it for cap space.

He also spawned the great "we have nothing to fear but Fehr himself" line.

Welcome home Printezis

What a terrible return. I would've thought there would be something better out there.

The ability to opt out of the trade better have been a part of this deal.

Big lost season. Matt Williams had a shot at Maris. The Expos were a superteam.

Tony Gwynn wasnt hitting .400 and Matt Wiliams wasnt hitting 62 homers that season.
