Celts complete Nets trade; D.J. White also sent to NJ

[EDWARDO]

Potentially:

A. Pierce for Humphries and Kris Joseph
B. KG for Wallace
C. Terry for Bogans
D. DJ White for Brooks

Let make some comparison

A. Pierce for Humphries and Kris Joseph...inappropriate not well for Cs team, PPp was the captain and very good scorer
B. KG for Wallace...not good for Cs team, because KG is much better defensive player
C. Terry for Bogans...50-50
D. DJ White for Brooks 50-50 but does not change anything

So, the game winner is Prokorov

assume this is a joke, right?

  Did you not know that we got some draft picks in the trade?

Draft picks are anonymous unpredictable choices. One Lebron or Koby is coming out 1 time in 10 years.

[greenhead85]

the trade was for draft picks

Plus for the salaries to work and moving on for the rebuilding process.

So, based on your logic, draft picks aren't worth anything (?!?!?).  You can't be serious.

But good young players come out every single year.  You can win a title with a group of 7 really good players instead of 3 max guys and a bunch of minimum salary guys.

Well mentioned by you dude ..."good players". But to win a title you need "great players" and at least to have 2 or of them. But recenlty no great players are coming around during pick choices.

[LooseCannon]

I don't get the reported size of the trade exception. It should be bigger.

Pierce, Garnett, Terry, and White combine for just over $34 mil ($34.4 mil if Terry's trade kicker of 7.5% increases his salary for trade purposes).

The players coming back, minus Bogan's undetermined contract, add up to $24.1 mil.

[Edit: I think I see why it might be that small, if the salaries aren't being aggregated together on each side.]

Why wouldn't the C's do it as one big deal? All splitting the deals up does is diminish the trade exception.

I am not sure I trust this nets blog that seems to be the only source to have the exact number. I think it'll end up being closer to 5 MM.

I think a 5 MM trade exception plus three first is pretty fair for Kg Pierce and Terry.

You can only pick up a trade exception in a deal in which salaries are not aggregated.  The trick is to be able to split out a non-aggregated trade with the widest gap in salary between the players being traded for each other.  The largest trade exception is when you can massage the numbers so that a player is effectively being traded for nothing.

I'm sorry but now you're just trolling.  The 2014 NBA draft coming up is expected to be the deepest and most star studded in years.  We could have generational players coming out of the top 5.  Ever heard of Wiggins, Randle, or Parker?

In 2007 they did not based the championship team using draft players but geting via trade stars like KG and Ray and geting usefull experienced players like Casell, PJ Brown etc.

You are right! But guess how we acquire KG? By giving 1st round picks...

  Sure, they're unpredictable, but that doesn't somehow mean that you ignore them when you consider which team got the better deal in a trade.
