I’m guessing Milwaukee isn’t going to offer him a spot on their team anytime soon?

Numbers guys this is where I fall very short and need help. Denver just traded Camby to the Clippers so the 2 of them could exchange 2nd round draft picks next year or the year after or whatever. I though If you traded for a player you had to lose a player with an equal contract. What am I missing here guys? There was a similar trade go down shortly after the free agency period started but for the life of me I can’t remember who was involved.
Somehow we need to trade switched 2nd round picks and get Dwight Howard?

I’m no #s guy either Grif, but according to the telecast if a team is under the cap like the Clippers, the saleries do not have to match.

The Nuggets got a $10m trade exception in addition to the right to switch picks. The exception equals Camby’s salary this year, but why/how you can make this kind of deal, and where the exception comes from (did the clips already have it? how does a team get one?), I don’t know.
The nuggets have one year to use the exception, otherwise it goes away. What does “use” mean, I wonder? A trade in which the nuggets take a 10m player and give the exception for it? Then, is the exception extended for the team that gets it? Complicated stuff.

Gilbert Arenas is the man. He’s an asset to the Wiz and the entire NBA and I am so happy he is a Wizard, he’s easy to root for.
Seems the injury and over-training has taught Gil a lesson that will prolong his career and I believe it will be a great career from here on out. Good luck Gil and way to represent.
