Comments on: Monday Morning http://www.washingtonwizardsblog.com/2008/12/01/monday-morning/ The Official Blog of the NBA's Washington Wizards Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:35:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: dcbutler357 http://www.washingtonwizardsblog.com/2008/12/01/monday-morning/comment-page-1/#comment-56178 dcbutler357 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 19:32:11 +0000 http://www.washingtonwizardsblog.com/?p=1566#comment-56178 Well, looking at the salaries across the league and the players...just about all if not all of the teams seem to be over the cap....if you have 3 big-time players, you're over. According to the pay chart: Indiana, Clippers, Minnesota, Okl has pos $, and the wiz have the lowest amount over the cap (wiz are higher than the other four, and look at all five records....) I guess we need to spend more over to have a decent team.

You guys are on the ball.....okay, who is getting paid to know this info Well, I see that Juan and Dee have trade clauses until Dec 15th, very educational information...and if i'm reading it correctly, we are 900k over? I did a trade with AD, DS, DSONG, ET and it worked....not that I want the trade, but to test it out.... Now, this kind of inter-action is one of the many times when you really feel priviledged to have the blog. WOW!! You guys are on the ball…..okay, who is getting paid to know this info

Check out the ESPN NBA Trade machine which i linked below. This will tell you if any of your proposals would be approved by the league. For instance if you threw in Darius with Etan and AD then you could get Marbury, but Etan and Ad's salaries don't match up with Marbury's. http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/trademachine getabigboyoffense salaries have to match so you just cant throw in cash.

How about Marbury + cash (his salary) for ET and AD + cash (their combined salaries)? Tom M., Thanks for the insight on the NBA rule that makes the player swap I proposed illegal.

Tom has always been the "keeper of the sanity". When we all get to college rah rah, or want to trade Etan for Howard, or try to "borrow" other teams players while the other team still pays the player's salary Tom steps in as the voice of reason and tells us the errors of our ways. He is kinda like the guy on "Pardon the Interruption" that tells Kornheiser and Wilbon where they have screwed up during the show :) I think we frustrate the heck out of Tom every once in a while LOL.

Devin Harris has been "tearing it up" lately and we are lucky enough to catch him right in the middle of his excellent play. Our guards are going to have to be on top of their defensive games to slow that guy down a little bit. Dcbutler this is the first game where that trade is going to possibly bite us in the butt.

We are up against the Luxury tax limit, which it would be stupid to get into. We also *already have 15 players* -- the nba limit. Next someone will say "well why don't we waive so and so" and I'll have to remind you that you can't get rid of salaries that way in the nba. The player can go away, but the salary remains. We might be able to drop Dee -- he may not yet be guaranteed for the season (although he may be). But, nonetheless, even a vet minimum contract for Starbury would likely push us into luxury tax territory (meaning his signing would cost closer to 8 million than the vet minimum -- he ain't worth it). Getabigboy -- your proposed trade is not legal in the nba. For about the buzillionth time — the Wizards *cannot* add a player.

The Knicks get two players who will play and the Wiz get one point guard and the salary structures remain the same. My point about Marbury is:
