I got a number game for ya Morey, I have five fingers, I am holding up one, it is the second from my thumb.
Why put this move on Morey? Most of you never liked his hire in the first place, so you are quick to blame him. This REEKS of CD and JVG, it's classic CD and JVG behavior. This is not a moneyball move, regardless of how good Shane's advance stats look.
From the stats on 82games, Battier's stats are unbelievable. This has a little Morey in it. He was rated the best SF defender.
Because we only pay Hayes $0.2M, so we make a gain here. I find that this Fair Salary is tied to minutes played. Since Swift only plays 20min and Battier plays 35min, if we want to compare fairly, we need to adjust Swift's Fair Salary to $3.40M. This makes sure this trade is a rape! http://www.82games.com/0506/fairsalary0506.htm
