^ You're not too bright if you think Minny takes that just b/c it works cap-wise (which it probably doesn't - I saw Taylor in there and stopped reading)
Reading is fundamental "Bobbitt", one ya self. I never said that Minny would take this trade because it works cap-wise. Maybe you should have continued reading, because apparently you aren't as good as making inferences as you'd like to believe.
Anyway, for the record... this trade is just as capable of occuring as any of the other outlandish trades that's occured over the last few years.
Seeing that you neglected to read "whatever else needed to make the salaries match up" and believe that the salaries don't work. I've decided to show you, and you can check it yourself at realgm.com
scenario 1) NYK trades J.Crawford
T.Thomas
M.Sweetney
M.Taylor
Both #1's next year
for
Kevin Garnett
Sam Cassell
Fred Hoiberg
That trade satisfies the "whatever else needed to make the salaries match up" statement work!
Oh, and wouldn't you know it... The other part of that statement works as well:(I would say Wally World, but I doubt McHale would give up both players to NYC. But if he did, we'd have to include Ariza.. and in that case i'd still do it!)
