GS gets Eddy? Why they do that?
Golden State is trying to move SJAX and not get killed financially.Eddy has 21 mil left to go, SJAX has 28.
That small a difference looks more like a good reason NOT to do this trade.
We could alway throw in another $3 million and a second round pick. We would save more than $3 million in luxury tax savings. Thus, it would a difference of paying Curry 18 million or Jax $28 million. That is a significant difference. The only flaw is this trade is Curry is a tub of lard that has no trade value right now. If I am GS, I would rather pay Jax the money and have a player I can actually use.
Exactly. It's still a VERY small difference relative to their game impact even with the cash considerations. I'm sure a title contender would give up an expiring contract for Jackson. Has there ever been a comparable trade to the one you're proposing--a salary savings over 4 years of only $7 mil (OK, plus cash considerations) for such a gigantic difference in talent and impact?
