Not the "renouncing" thing again...

[Nikolokolus]

I was thinking about this... couldn't we do a simple sign and trade with Orlando where they sign him at higher raises, we send them cash ($3m) and we have the cap space to absorb Hedo... they get a trade exception and they get actual cash... and Hedo gets potentially more money since he's getting larger raises.

Right?

Yeah ... at least I think this is viable under the CBA, I'll have to check out Larry Coon's CBA FAQ. Who knows, maybe we even throw in Outlaw so they get somebody on an expiring contract who can play a little bit of the 3 and the 4 off the bench along with the cash considerations and we'd still have maybe 3-4 million in cap room to play around with afterwards?

We lost our trade exception the second we went below the cap.

Plus, we are Hedo's only bidder, so we don't need to do anything but negotiate down

Yes, this can happen -- maybe we would have to add a future 2nd round pick. Orlando got Rashard Lewis from Seattle this way, allowing them to give him 6 years (at 122m, whoops!) instead of 5.

That's not what he's talking about -- in this case Orlando would get a "newly created" TE by us not sending them any salary.

Also, the idea is that if for some reason WE did agree to give him 50 million, this way we wouldn't have to renounce anybody.

Why do we need to renounce anyone? Shouldn't we have close to 8 million in cap space?

You don't keep raising the price if you are bidding against yourself.
