Successful Scenario
Due to New York and Denver being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. New York and Denver had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

We can cut Patterson because he is in the last year of his contract. Yes we get stuck with KMart but that is better than both Francis and JJ !!

Its an advantage for Denver because they want a scoring PG plus they get 6 fouls for the center position in JJ who would allow Camby to play PF ( for about 5 mins ) lol........

nobody's taking the Big Turd off our hands w/o a huge roll of toilet paper thrown in as part of the deal.
