TRADE ACCEPTED
Due to Dallas and Minnesota being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. Dallas and Minnesota had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
************************************************** ********
This is the final year of spree's contract......would Minn pull the trigger though since they have szcerbiak?
They get a guy who is 3 years younger in Finley, and has 3 years left on his contract..and a more efficient shooter/scorer...if they re-sign hassell this would be a good move for them..since hassell tends to play the star offensive player on the opposing team
what do you guys think?
