"Let's Trade Aldridge and Start JJ, a REAL PF, at PF!"-- um no

[Denny Crane]

Any time there is a large difference in salary in a deal, a team acquires a TPE. The Lakers would receive a TPE in the amount of $$ different between Matthews and Howard. We are not giving them a TPE. You don't give TPEs, they are created in lopsided deals.

This is right, though I can only find one example of a trade where a TPE was acquired for any trade involving more than a single player and picks and cash.

For example, Memphis traded with the Cavs. A $750K player for a $750K player. And a $2M and a $4M player. The trade is reported as a 3-for-1, but the Grizzlies actually received a $2M and a $4M TPE. The 3-for-1 could be broken down into 3 smaller deals.

On the other hand, Rudy Gay was dealt in a 4 team trade. The outgoing salaries for him and another player were ~$15M and the incoming was about $7.5M. They got a $7.5M worth of TPE. Though the player traded with Gay was done as a separate player for TPE deal.

The Aldridge haters have been silenced.

The Hickson lovers haven't. Even with the team losing all motivation (e.g. playing Barton to lose and telling Hickson he won't be back), Hickson still got 3 times the rebounds last night that Leonard did (4 times, per minute).

Aldridge is avoiding criticism by not playing. He'd be vastly outrebounded and outhustled by Hickson, as usual.

It will only take one good coach to teach Hickson defense. A year or two from now he'll improve. He has everything else.

Well, that would be one person willing to post and discuss it.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

It really does get old. The constant, "I told you so" remarks about one thing or the other.

If the shoe fits...

If anyone should be tired of people telling them they were wrong, it's you.

I'll see your Bargnani and raise you Big V and Derozen with Ross and a pick

How does it fit? We have lost by less than if Aldridge had played. History proves all.
