Rumor: Manu for KG

[Kori Ellis]

This is the rule.

Teams can acquire up to 125% plus $100,000 of the salaries they are trading in a simultaneous trade. For example, a team trading a $5 million player in a simultaneous trade can receive one or more players whose salary is no more than 125% of $5 million, plus $100,000, or $6.35 million in return.

So the Spurs need to trade at least $16,720,000 in salaries to get KG's $21M contract back.

Manu+Barry+Horry is $16,682,880. Short by less than 50K. (I originally said about 200K because I hadn't added in the 100K).

[velik_m]

What do you mean less than 20% under?

100% is 125% to 80%. (1,25*0,8=1)
if player A has X salary, player B has to have over 0,8X and under 1,25X.

100% is 125% to 80%. (1,25*0,8=1)

So what's wrong with my calculation?

[velik_m]

nothing much, i just wanted to tell you it isn't 75%, it's not symetrical (as in 25%) in both ways.

0,8*21=16,8
1,25*16,8=21

I know that.

You quote me saying that the Manu+Barry+Horry combo was off from working by about 200K and said like a smart ass that I needed to work on my math.

So what was I wrong about?

[velik_m]

Manu and Barry combine for over 13M. You should just have to get to 15M to make the trade work. That's within 25% of Garnett's 20M.

I thought it was 20%. Also, KG is making 21 million I believe.

It's 25%. If it's 21M then Manu+Barry+Horry is about 200K short of working.

[Kori Ellis]

You should just have to get to 15M to make the trade work

This is a typo. It should say 16M. That's why I was adding in Horry or Oberto's contracts. I was trying to get to 16M. (I thought KG made 20M)

It's 25%. If it's 21M then Manu+Barry+Horry is about 200K short of working.

This is correct. I just forgot to add in the 100K.

[velik_m]

is OK.

i just wanted to say buddy holly was not wrong either.

[Kori Ellis]

is OK.

i just wanted to say buddy holly was not wrong either.

No Buddy Holly wasn't wrong if he was doing 20% less than the bigger contract, but I thought he was trying to say he thought is was 20% more than the smaller contract.

I was just clarifying that the rule is 25% more. It used to be +15% and a lot of places print it as +20% when it's really +25%.

I thought this thread was a joke!

[Kori Ellis]

I thought this thread was a joke!

It is.

The Wolves can get a lot more for KG.

[Beer is Good]

I'd rather keep a player with heart and championship chops (Manu) over a wannabe gangster who is overrated and under-performs in the clutch. Keep KG. He's never done a damn thing worth talking about in his career. Manu is a Champion. Not Just NBA. World.

[Buddy Holly]

Maybe he's demanding the trade?

[rayray2k8]

I will no longer post here if Manu gets traded.

Once again, you all fail to recognize there is no truth to these rumors.

I think alot of people feel that way man.

Especially for a punk gangsta with athletic ability but huevos that shrink to b.b.'s when the pressure is on.

You talking about Garnett or GiG?

[spurschick]

While having KG here wouldn't suck, I wouldn't want to be in the Spurs ticket sales office fielding the "I want a refund on my season tickets!" calls if Manu got traded.

Yep...here they go. Wanting to trade away our players for another soon to be washed up guy with a big contract.

The Superstar, who once got his team past a first round exit. But, oh, he would be so much better here.

Of course it probably would be Garnetts one chance to get a ring. On Duncans coattails.

[mabber]

Wow, I can't believe a lot of you wouldn't want KG instead of Ginobli. That's friggin unbelievable!!!
