Miami Outgoing:
#2 Pick
Miami Incoming:
#14 Pick
$10 million trade exception
Mickael Pietrus
Why Miami Does It:
- They may lose Shawn Marion so a sign and trade for Mickael Pietrus makes a little sense. The #14 pick could be DJ Augustin, it's not that unlikely. But the intriguing piece is the $10 million trade exception the Warriors acquired last year from Charlotte in the Wright/Richardson trade. However, Golden State must use it by June 30 or they lose it. Miami would be contenders again with the cap they would have to lure a big free agent.
Golden State Outgoing:
#14 Pick
$10 million trade exception
Mickael Pietrus
Golden State Incoming:
#2 Pick
Why Golden State Does It:
- Pietrus doesn't want to be in the Bay Area anymore and was looking to be traded by February's deadline. Didn't happen, and since he played poorly he probably won't see a big payday like he hoped. Which means he'd probably sign a mid-level like contract around $5 million for 2 years. Not bad for Miami or Golden State. Also, the Warriors have no pressing needs other than a backup PG which could either be Rose or Bayless. And the $10 million trade exception they have will expire if they don't use it in some way.
love it. we'll give them Al too or something.
