Trade: SAC & NYK

[Laimbeer40]

So is Rudy part of the deal? He is not listed in the original post under what the Kings are trading.

As for the deal itself I can see the future cap being a sticking point for some but this deal is VERY different than the one with salary concerns in KTR. A lot of that was tied into KPJ being viewed as the far inferior player in the deal.

Here SAC is picking up valuable cheap cost-controlled assets whose contracts will outlast the cap being paid. Still it’s a ton being paid down with a tighter cap than KTR. So as commish my vote is always going to lay with whether this trade makes the team more attractive to a prospective buyer if faux were to go AWOL. For me it’s a no-brainer. I tried for months to get an owner for this team. People LOVE draft picks and I can find someone who wants to play with those picks in a heartbeat even if they do have the cap constraints that come with this team.

So I am hoping other owners will view this from that standpoint and let this deal pass. Other owners who have taken on so much future cap have done so to try to make the playoffs and a little coin, then leave these squads with no assets. This team is going to be flush with assets now and be a drafter’s delight.
