- Code: Select all
TRADE #2 (ovr/salary/years/age)
GS sends
PG Steve Kerr 72 53k/1 37
PF Danny Fortson 84 120k/3 26
DET moves
SF/C Cliff Robinson 85 161k/1 36
PG Pepe Sanchez 69 MIN/1 25
We get rid of Kerr who we never liked (just got in to get around cap) and Danny finally gets his wish of leaving the star forwards plagued Western conference, we trust that he'll have even more succes at Detroit. We get Pepe to backup Arenas in case we need to slow game down, and Cliff will be in the same situation as The Almirant, will get important minutes for the last time in his career, and wont bother us next year with a hugh payroll.

TRADE #3 (ovr/salary/years/age)
GS sends
SG Oscar Torres 72 MIN/1 26
BOS moves
PF Ruben Wolkowyski 69 MIN/1 29
Though Torres played great in preseason, we have just too many players in the backcourt ahead of him, J-Rich, Gilbert, Pepe, Manu, Jiri...he's only ahead of the GM/asst coach/player Douek in the rotation...(hey, maybe was a move by the GM to get more minutes?) and another Argentinean joins team, "Big Rub" won't get much minutes unless 2 frontcourt guys get in foul trouble early.
