You are 100% correct and I have deleted my offensive posts. I would like to apologize to you for that.

Portland trades Robin Lopez to Houston for Jeremy Lin and pick #25.

Houston needs to trim salary for Lebron and it is likely that they will need to give up a pick for a team to pay Lin that 15 million balloon payment.

Lopez's contract is not guaranteed so they could simply cut him.

Portland could then resign Lopez with the MLE pays him about the same as he was to make last year. They could offer him player options so he can still become a free agent.

Which would be stupider? In a hypothetical trade that would send Asik from Houston to Portland in a similar deal that was made last year for R Lopez.

A.Houston for unloading their talented higher salaried big to Portland to open up cap space. I'm thinking Portland would look again at Asik

B. Portland for helping/enabling Houston to free up cap space in the move to sign LeBron.

So your telling me that getting Lin and the #25 pick in this draft for nothing but having to spend our MLE on Lopez is a bad deal. You guys are ridiculous, I added a better backup PG and got us a pick in the draft and somehow that is bad. I guess maybe some of you don't read to the end or did not understand that after the trade we have Lin, pick #25 and Lopez.

No I'm saying you don't understand the CBA.

So yeah... There's that. And that trumps all.

We did help Houston free up cap space to sign Howard.

If you know it's inevitable that they are going to be helped by someone and you know of a deal that will be made with another team if you don't do it. And you also know that acquiring that player Houston is trying to rid themselves from would only help your cause. Would you then do the deal?

That is unless tester is correct and Lopez contract is now guaranteed, something I have not been able to find one way or another.

Lopez's contract became fully guaranteed the moment the blazers traded for him.
you didn't look very hard did you? took me two minutes to find this info.

2012-13: $4,899,293.
2013-14: $5,119,761.
2014-15: $5,340,229.
2015-16: UFA.

Your link does not show anything about his contract being guaranteed.

After looking more it does seem that his contract became guaranteed in 2013 as of July 3. Sportrac and Hoopshype both show his contract as non guaranteed for this season but I have found enough to suggest otherwise. Furthermore, trading him would have been similar to the Jamal Crawford situation a few years ago in which he would have to accept his player option to be dealt.

Thank you to everyone who posted reasonable responses to this thread.

I do not think you understand there is a difference between non guaranteed money and having a team option. Hoopshype also says it is a team option and not a player option.

Add this thread to your growing list of classics. It is not very often you see anyone trying to recreate Boozergate.

Very clearly says 2014 non guaranteed. While that number would matter if he was waived prior to his contract becoming guaranteed my idea was based around Houston being able to decline his team option after trading for him. With that not possible this whole trade is not viable.
 
Because the idea isn't actually possible, I'd suggest just locking the thread, instead of it being a spot for bickering and insults.

Here is your scenario where you thought his money was not guaranteed. Under that assumption, Houston would have to waive Lopez. If they waive him, we could not resign him, which I already provided a link in the cbafaq's outlining that. That also assumes someone just does not claim him if waived after July 1st.

You then are trying to treat non-guaranteed money and a team option as the same thing. They are two different classifications having different rules.

Is Story still updating his site? I thought he'd decided he had too many other things going on to keep doing it?

Looks like BBert asked the same question. :lol:

I'm not sure if he has found anyone yet. One of you should take it over.
