    I'd be surprised if they made the playoffs. I think Milwaukee is more prone.

    Gonna miss Memo. :(

    Good opening of minutes for the young bucks though. Kanter, Favors, Burks... they all need to get in and get to work. Still trying to understand what this trade exception is...

    OK, basketball junkies (PX, SoS, XM, etc.)....explain me two things

    what's a "trade exception"? we got one for memo...woo hoo :cry:

    secondly (and I'm way too lazy to read the CBA), this whole split of BRI....how does it actually effect contracts? e.g. D Rose's $19m per year deal....is this 50% or whatever of some hypothetical revenue or is the whole 50/50 (or whatever they agreed on) split on TOP OF their contracts :? ? I mean, how do you split revenue that is yet to be generated?

    hope this question makes sense....I just woke up....and I was thinking about it all night :lol:

    trade exceptions are sort of loopholes to exceed the salary cap ... you can read about it here as it would be better than me typing it all out ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_salary_cap#Exceptions

    as for the BRI - i think it goes something like this ... salary cap is determined by the BRI ... maximum salary is then calculated based on a percentage of the salary cap along with adjustments based on years of service ...

    you and me both :crazy:

    Traded Player Exception: If a team trades away a player with a higher salary than the player they acquire in return (we'll call this initial deal "Trade #1"), they receive what is called a Traded Player Exception, also known colloquially as a "Trade Exception". Teams with a trade exception have up to a year in which they can acquire more salary in other trades (Trade #2, #3, etc.) than they send away, as long as the gulf in salaries for Trade #2, #3, etc. are less than or equal to the difference in salary for Trade #1. This exception is particularly useful when teams trade draft picks straight-up for a player; since draft picks have no salary value, often the only way to get salaries to match is to use a trade exception, which allows trades to be made despite unbalanced salaries. It is also useful to compensate teams for losing free agents as they can do a sign and trade of that free agent to acquire a trade exception that can be used later. Note this exception is for single player trades only, though additional cash and draft picks can be part of the trade.

    so....is salary cap maybe something like total league wide BRI divided by number of teams, times the percentage the players were allowed? what was it anyway? 49%? 50%? 51%? :crazy:

    I'm just trying to figure how you decide you can dole out a $95m contact :?

    to me, it kind of refutes the whole "plantation owner/slave" analogy :lol:

    I think that's pretty much it. Just factor in that max salary is a % of the cap with some exceptions to entice players to sign with their current team.
