Correction on the trade.......it isn't a used condom. But it's been sitting in its wrapper in an un-air-conditioned room for years....virtually worthless. Hope it doesn't hold up the trade. I think he's been "injured".
Since the first rounder we sent to Lakers is a late 1st round pick, we practically got it back with KJ
If a team has cap space they can just absorb salary without having to send salary back. They do have to include something like a draft pick to make it work, but teams can work around that by heavily protecting the pick. The Nets will probably send us a 2nd round pick, protected #31 to 59, or something. Essentially, we get nothing but cap relief to use on the buyout market.
I wouldn't be surprised if the protection is such that we never actually get a pick. But if so... nice.
