so heres what i learned last nite when i was doing research:
- the magic number to make trades is $76 mil (thats the "apron" threshold)
- its NOT $60mil (the salary cap) like i thought it was
- the knicks are at $76.4mil...so all they have to do is DUMP JR cut the rest of the scrubs and THEN they can make some trades
- the only asset whos tradable is tyson ($14mil)
- are we gonna acquire CP3 or Dwight, i doubt it...but it gives me hope that we can make some moves

please correct me if im wrong and also what trades would you consider (realistic ones - melo isnt going anywhere and amare isnt being traded cuz any GM would be fired on the spot)

Read this article, http://www.slcdunk.com/2013/1/11/3277218/why-the-utah-jazz-cannot-wait-to-sign-and-trade-millsap-or-jefferson

Basically explains why sign and trades will be less likely with the new CBA. If you perform a sign and trade you will be locked into a hard cap which basically means you have to be able to fit that players contract under the salary cap plus 4 million.

Pretty much killing any chance at sign and trades during the summer. This is why OKC traded Harden so early in the year. They knew he would get the max.
