QuoteAs part of the Lee-Bayless deal, Boston will send a future second round pick to Memphis. OKC gets a protected 2nd rounder in '17OKC must be sending the Celtics cash. That 2017 #2 is probably top-55 protected or something of that nature (similar to the deals we made with Sacramento when we paid them to take Cassell's and POB's contracts, where they traded us #2s that we'll never see.)

2017 second round draft pick to BrooklynIf Boston exercises its right to swap its 2017 1st round pick for Brooklyn's 2017 1st round pick, then Boston will convey its 2017 2nd round pick to Brooklyn protected for selections 31-45 (if this pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyed, then Boston's obligation to Brooklyn will be extinguished) [Boston-Brooklyn, 7/12/2013]; this potential pick conveyance is the same as the one described in "2017 first round draft pick from Brooklyn" on Boston Credits
If it is a 2017 2nd to OKC, I think it's Memphis'; Boston's is already conditionally owed to Brooklyn.Quote2017 second round draft pick to BrooklynIf Boston exercises its right to swap its 2017 1st round pick for Brooklyn's 2017 1st round pick, then Boston will convey its 2017 2nd round pick to Brooklyn protected for selections 31-45 (if this pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyed, then Boston's obligation to Brooklyn will be extinguished) [Boston-Brooklyn, 7/12/2013]; this potential pick conveyance is the same as the one described in "2017 first round draft pick from Brooklyn" on Boston Creditshttp://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/future_drafts/detailed
Gomes’ involvement in the deal appears to be a salary dump by Oklahoma City to help facilitate the trade and create a small amount of cap space, Stein reported. The Celtics are expected to waive the former Providence College star before the remainder of his $884,293 salary becomes guaranteed on Tuesday.

If he is non-guaranteed and can be waived today, how exactly is that saving OKC money? Can't they just waive him themselves?
It seems strange that the trade hasn't been finalized yet. I wonder whether Danny is checking in with Houston to see if they can make this a 4-team deal that finally nets Asik. It seems that the inclusion of Gomes could do just that:http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=meqjy3v Boston sends:Bass to HOULee to MEM2015 #1 from LAC to HOUBoston receives:Bayless from MEMAsik from HOUHouston sends:Asik to BOSHouston receives:Bass from BOSFranklin from MEMGomes from OKC2015 #1 from LAC via BOSMemphis sends:Bayless to BOSJamaal Franklin to HOUMemphis receives:Lee from BOSOKC sends:Gomes to HOUOKC sends:future considerations (SAC 2nd via BOS)This gives Houston the opportunity to move Asik without taking on the salary commitment to Lee/Bogans, while allowing the Cs to retain the expiring deals of Bogans, Crawford, and Humphries for other potential moves. This also keeps the Cs under the luxury tax.

However, the amount they had already paid him (say, $400k) would have counted toward OKC's cap and luxury tax. Now, it counts against ours. OKC probably sent some money along to compensate us.
I don't understand why this trade hasn't been announced yet
Quote from: Evantime34 on January 07, 2014, 10:55:31 AMI don't understand why this trade hasn't been announced yetIssues with the OKC three-way complicated addition probably scuttled the trade call yesterday afternoon.I'd assume they've scheduled a trade call for today, until the trade call nothing is official.
