future accommodating behavior from the C’s?

I don’t see them getting a thing from this deal.

is that the money will be paid to Cassell.

They must be getting more $ than is needed to buy Cassell out?

Wow. That is a pretty small amount.

Well, you have to pay someone to do the paper work. If that person is a lawyer, how much do they charge? The deal isn’t free.

Just seems like a pittance.

I’m sure there is an expectation of future accommodating behavior . . . or there is more to it.

It’s days like today that I really appreciate the locals around here. Thanks Roy, Gainesville, and WD for providing such good info on the paticulars of this stuff.

I’m not sure I was saying the paper work cost $200k. But once you factor in the fact that outside of 200k the Kings are getting zip, the benefit amounts to less than 200k, an amount hardly worth doing the deal, IMO, unless, of course, the Kings are in need of stimulus type bailout.

Cassell comes in the final year of his deal worth $1.2 million, and the cash coming the Kings’ way is expected to be in the neighborhood of $500,000. That would just about cover Cassell’s remaining wages for the rest of the season, and so the question then becomes whether the Kings – who have a roster spot available for Cassell – would bother to do this for the mere chance to have a respected veteran presence on board.

Cassell could wind up being waived before he gets here or playing a part in something bigger the Kings have been working on trade-wise. On the surface, it makes no sense why the Kings would simply do the Celtics a favor to help with their championship run. I’m leaning toward the more to come category.

apologies for the intrusion.

Is now reporting the Kings take home between 345k and 400k.

Now we start to see a little bit more of a two-sided trade.

But I’m sure ESPN is wrong too.

Good thing we have old roy to set us straight.

It’s more than likely that Sam would never have seen any playing time this season or post season. So Danny makes this move and we are now looking into his motives as the media must also be. The plus side of the trade for the C’s is that Danny can get some peace and quite so he can concentrate on what he thinks he can do to make the team better. It also means that Scals will need another one on one partner.
