I accept. Even though this ties my hands from being able to sign anyone this year, or even next year, I get a 1st and can tank harder.

Meanwhile I save the Kings from the ultimate destruction that this hell of a contract has caused.

You can trade Ray Allen? I thought he expired in the 2014-2015 season

Paul, I think we're still on "14-15" time in regards to trades, etc., until the final pick of the draft has been made (which will be pretty soon, now!). Either we're still in 14-15 and BK has to trade that salary to not go over the cap, or we're in 15-16 where he has the cap room and it doesn't matter anyway.

He is right though I can't trade Ray allens expiring contract. Allow me to put this trade on hold until after the draft and we can do it without Ray Allen there.

From Allan Houston:

Really? In Trading Regulations it says:

Trade Deadlines.

The Trading Deadline is not half-way through the season, like the NBA.



(In-Game Date) April 1st: Only teams who are have not qualified for the playoffs may trade after this date.

(In-Game Date) April 19th: Trade Deadline for all players with expiring contracts. No expiring players can be traded after April 19th.

Start of Off Season Re-Signing and Free Agency: Expiring players enter Free Agency or are re-signed. All trading resumes.

Emphasis mine.  And it's really weird to me if you can still trade expirings.  That's very much unlike the NBA.  From cbafaq:

In addition, teams cannot trade players under the following circumstances:


...

- When the trade deadline has passed. Teams are free to make trades again once their season has ended, but cannot trade players whose contracts are ending or could end due to an option or ETO.

I think it's from 2015/16 contracts that are expiring.. I mean I could have trade my expiring contracts of 2014/15 if I could but I didn't because I thought it was until before playoffs..
