    Our trade exception was the combination of two trades: Pippen and Francis. They expire on trade anniversaries. The Pippen trade could produce no more than 15% of Pippen's salary (the 15% rule), leaving the rest of the $4.5m from the Francis deal, our decrease being absorbed in the 3-way.

    The Francis trade went down Aug 27th, so that chunk has expired.

    Thus, for any future trade rumors that may arise, and I'm sure there will be one soon, note in your calculations that the exception is now roughly $1.7m (my rough estimate of 15% of Pippen's salary last year).

    Det,

    Are you questioning all of heypartner's points or just a few selected parts?

    I was just looking for someone else to confirm it. I was a bit surprised because people are still talking about how we could include the 4.5 million exception in trades and as far as I remember, so far the word was that the whole exception expires in October (?). Just thought that poppere usually knows that stuff quite well, too.

    Thanks. I guess I still haven't fully understood how this whole exception stuff works, but thanks.

    So we have to piss it away in time-based increments? Well, that changes everything...

    That's funny... [​IMG]

    No offense oeilpere, but I realize that your interests do not lie in the cba. Meanwhile, heypartner has read the thing 100s of times through.
