Anybody know how many trade exceptions have been used in the past? Or who has been acquired through a TPE?
We used one from the Pierce/KG trade to bring in Marcus Thornton and a first in 2014, then flipped him and the first for IT at the trade deadline
GSW acquired Kelly Oubre using their TPE
OKC has been flipping around TPEs, they'll be acquiring Horford with the Steven Adams one
It's possible (or even likely) that it goes unused, but there's definitely a precedent for using it
