Lottery protection and it becomes two 2nd round picks if it doesn't convey in 2022.

So if OKC misses the playoffs in 2022 we get nothing but two 2nd round picks?

I'm showing we paid just under $11M for last year and owe another couple for this year.  Different sites sometimes get this wrong, though.

I show the same thing at Spotrac and they are also showing Anthony on our books already. According to them we are now over the cap and have:

Room Midelevel exception for 4.44 million and a Bi Annual exception for 3.35 million we can use.

The full trade:

• Anthony, forward Justin Anderson and a lottery-protected 2022 first-round pickgo to Atlanta, with Anthony getting bought out — and receiving his full $27.9 million salary for 2018-19, which instantly makes him one of the summer’s biggest winners — to enter unrestricted free agency;

• Point guard Dennis Schröder and wing Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot go to Oklahoma City;

• Big man Mike Muscala heads to Philly.

Why do I get the feeling that’s the year they will not make the playoffs ?

George and Westbrook should be good enough for an 8th seed

......It's all fake!!!  This is a ruse by Brad Rowland!!

They didn't do the trade he proposed. Rowland proposed Dennis and Muscala for nothing. The got a 1st round pick which changes everything.

Alright I’ve warmed up to the trade a bit. I just really hope OKC crawls into the playoffs in 4 years cus I don’t see any free agents coming to ATL anytime soon.

All in all, this is a pretty shit trade. We trade a top 30 PG, a decent backup center who wasn't a fit of what LP wanted to do but still decent and what we get is a scrub SG, a pick with Minny like protection in 2022, a cap space for next year which we likely not gonna do shit with.

Best trade from Schlenk yet. You can tell Justin Anderson was a Lloyd Pierce move. Hard nosed defender that must improve his 3pt shot to be valuable in this league.

Great point and Justin has shown flashes of a three pointer so lets see what Jent can do with that.

Actually, Brad didn't propose a trade, and you were trying to shoot down Mitch Lawrence's report that OKC and Atlanta were in talks about the trade.

He still got it wrong...and brad added his 2 cents by saying it was a win if the Hawks just dumped Dennis' salary

Yep.

Not that the threshold for "best trade yet" is all that high, of course.

We do have a few angry ? young wings in ? and now Anderson though. It’s like releasing a couple pit bulls. I don’t mind it. At least for this year.

Can somebody explain to me the benefit(s) of having a "good locker room guy" vs a "really good player"? Just curious....
