I'm guessing NY would need to send some salaries out to LA.Why would this need to be a 3 team trade?

Isn’t it because the knIcks are being cheap skates?Why would this need to be a 3 team trade?
two young players with all star potential and 3 picks?This is why Ainge has the reputation that he has, and builds champions and contenders: he doesn't settle.
Danny is that you?That is so weird. A few of the best posters on here have discussed this exact trade a few weeks ago. I thought we were just a bunch of internet idiots who don’t know anything lolz.
I think the basic frameworks are there. Not sure what percentage I’d go with because the devil is always in the details…It sucks to wait....but I feel like some deal is 95% in place already and we'll have to wait a few more weeks/important dates to pass before it's announced and agreed upon. There's a lot of details to work out, and it takes time and there's always going to be a game of chicken for the last asset. No real reason for either side to cave in until right before the season.
It's a boring time of the summer. We've discussed all the iterations 100x over by now.

It wouldn't, necessarily. But if there are pieces going between the Knicks and Lakers then it would behoove all parties to make it one deal, otherwise there would be the moratorium on trading aggregated players that would be an obstacle to finishing out other parts of the deal.Why would this need to be a 3 team trade?
I have more iterations but I'm holding back.It sucks to wait....but I feel like some deal is 95% in place already and we'll have to wait a few more weeks/important dates to pass before it's announced and agreed upon.

Westbrick's contract is worth a tuckfon of free capspace next offseason and it's been pretty consistently reported Utah does not want take on unnecessarily long contracts. Knicks have the picks to facilitate Mitchell departing Utah, but they aren't complete on expiring deals next offseason (I think). So Utah divests a few longer deals AND gains an extra pick or two by taking on Westbrook? Giggity.Why would this need to be a 3 team trade?
I think that's how it works. I don't know about waivers, but I think the other team would be stuck with a bunch there, so most likely he clears waivers, we're stuck with all of it unless someone picks him up for vet min (which they do), so we pay $47M - 2-4M or whatever his minimum is.Can someone explain how a buyout, or waiving, of Westbrook would work? Whenever people say that, I always think of Kramer telling Jerry, "they just write it off." Do we pay him the full $47MM, and send him on his way? Or do we waive him, then say a team agrees to pay him $10MM this year, do we then pay the remaining $37MM? That's just a **** ton of money to pay a guy to go play somewhere else. Not my money, so I couldn't care less, but someone walk me through this.
You're likely paying nearly the entire salary minus w/e the veteran minimum is.Can someone explain how a buyout, or waiving, of Westbrook would work?

I don’t think it’s possible but I’m going to lmao if the deal ends up being a lot different from what we think. At this point it’s likely possible we hit the exact iteration of what the deal is somewhere in the archives of JazzFanz.I have more iterations but I'm holding back.
I tell ya, buckle up:I don’t think it’s possible but I’m going to lmao if the deal ends up being a lot different from what we think. At this point it’s likely possible we hit the exact iteration of what the deal is somewhere in the archives of JazzFanz.
Tomorrow hasn’t even come yetHow many more tomorrows do we have left?
47M is so much to pay a guy that doesn’t play for your team…. Yeesh!!!
It’s the right move… just such a huge buyout. If you work in a Conley or JC or newly acquired Fournier into the deal it saves some dough next year and opens up more space… it’s just a staggering one year amount. I can see why some owners would just choke a little at it. Can’t believe the Lakers gave up good players and a pick to get him.

Either way you are giving him the money and he isnt play for the Utah Jazz, so might as well do the option that makes him happy and let's him go somewhere else.
