Turiaf just had season ending surgery. Only reason we would do this is so that we could give up a lower quality 2nd (or no 2nd at all).
Funny to imagine Morey drinking tequila. Hilarious to imagine him in a strip club. Morey's a total family man. He doesn't roll that way. But you probably knew that.
Minny gets more salary relief. We get an expiring that can be flipped at Trade deadline or just let expire in July. His salary combined with Brewers still within the amount of Trade Exception.
Turiaf is only making $1.5 million, and we'd have to cut someone to make the trade for him. It's more likely that we are offering to take Turiaf in order to avoid giving up a 2nd to get Brewer (or at least a good 2nd).
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA Boston will release center Vitor Faverani, league source tells Yahoo Sports. Boston needed to open a roster spot for trade. ?????
For example, Troy Daniels makes $816,482, you cut him and replace him with Turiaf and you have doubled the expiring contract that you can offer to make a deal work.
