This is a smart trade for Portland. They gained a $3M trade exception and went from an $8M hold on Diogu to a $1.5 hold on Ruffin for this summer. This gives us way more flexibility.

Alright!
Last time we got a trade exception we were given James Jones and Rudy Fernandez!

Wow! the Kings get screwed over on every single trade that they make. From Webber to Bibby to Brad Miller! :applause:

I know trade exceptions are great. I'm still trying to figure out what Portland is going to do with it though. What are some possible scenarios? I know Tom Penn and Pritchard are going to try and use it.

Maybe. Not sure how it works. I think Portland is allowed to take in more money or something. We traded too much salary to the Knicks and we were able to spend 3 million to bring in Jones. So I don't think we are going to be able to buy Vince Carter off of New Jersey for 3 million.
I wish I understood the trade exception better. I'm going to go read the CBA.

What I've heard is that Michael Ruffin makes good screens. :roll:
