RE: Is this trade far-fetched?
Actually, this deal is Great for Portland. They want to dump BOTH Anderson and Theo. Lets get technical.
Theo has 35 Mill left on his contract for 3 more years. Anderson has 18.8 Mill for 2 more years. 18.8 + 35 = 53.8 MILL.
They can't wave both players, that the problem.
Finley has 3 more years for 51 Mill. Abdul wahed is immediate cap relief. Abdul wahad has 14 Mill left on his contract. But they will only have to pay 2 because of insurance and he will not be considered in the luxury because he has been injured for more than 2 years.
If they do this trade and wave finely, they will save 51 + 12 = 63 Million in luxury.
Also the contract lengths are pretty similar so Portland would love this trade.
Of course we resign Finley (which we definitely can do) and get a good backup center that is insane in blocking shots.
I like how you think nash13, nice work.
