Jazz May Be A Part of 3-Team Deal w/ Clippers

Hmm. I think I'm still into this. I like Mo Williams. But there had better be SOME sweetener in there (Bell to Clippers, Jae Crowder, Beaubois, SOMETHING).

i'm with you.

i don't think bell works though. EDIT: yeah it does because mo's 8.5 for 11.5 (odom + bell) is within the simultaneous trade limit.
 
it's just over 2M, but yeah. thing is, there aren't a lot of practical applications that make sense for a 2M trade exception because at that price there are a lot of ways to make a deal work.

Well there may be another team trying to clear cap room trying to land a free agent.

could be, but what i mean by "practical application" is that there aren't that many cases where 2M makes the difference between being able to sign a guy or not. and if it is, a lot of teams can acquire a 2M player, you don't HAVE to go looking for a team with a TPE or massive cap space.

under the old CBA, you could use it to do a small side deal to supplement a larger deal where the salary matched but the talent didn't... but with the new CBA, there are also fewer cases where this would be needed, because it's a lot easier to make $ match with the new trade provisions.

it's technically an asset but doesn't have a ton of actual feasible value.
