Trade Announcement
The Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns have agreed to a deal in which Phoenix sends Greg Monroe, Marquese Chriss, Alan Williams and the '18 Milwaukee 1st round pick to LA in exchange for DeAndre Jordan and Patrick Beverley.
In a short statement Phoenix says that they hope that DeAndre and Patrick can have a big impact to change the direction of the team. They thank Greg, Marquese and Alan for the contributions to the team and wish them success in their further careers.
After the transaction between Milwaukee, San Antonio and Phoenix the protections for the '18 Milwaukee pick had been changed, therefore it's highly likely that the pick will convey this year as the protection is as follows: 1-10 in 2018, 1-3 in 2019, 1-7 in 2020 and unprotected in 2021.
LA Clippers sends out a total of $28.155.864,- in salary (22,6 Jordan; 5,5 Beverley) and receives a total of $26.957.976,- in salary (17,9 Monroe; 6,0 Williams; 3,1 Chriss), therefore the trade is valid.
(since in another universe Monroe was released I can't show the trade in the trading machine)
