Cleveland receives: 85 - Deron Williams - $14,787,888 - $16,414,555 - $18,041,222 - $19,677,889 - [teal]$21,294,556[/teal] 81 - Luol Deng - $11,650,000 - $12,547,500 - $13,729,625 - $14,239,069 73 - Kendrick Perkins - $4,250,000 - $4,390,208
Total: $30,687,888
Boston receives: 96 - Lebron James - $15,070,550 70 - Beno Udrih - $6,000,000 - $6,000,000 - $6,000,000 - $6,000,000 72 - Nick Collison $6,250,000 - $6,750,000
Total: $27,320,550
I feel this trade gives me real championship calibre legitimacy. Russell Westbrook can move into a deserved starting role, having been benched during his rookie season behind Deron Williams. Deron formed a formidable partnership with Chris Bosh last season, and has been the leader of the Celtics for nearly two years now, but the combination of Chris Bosh and Lebron James in the front court clearly forms perhaps the scariest duo in the league, imho. Anderson Varejao can step up off the bench to fill the center role too. Next Off Season, even without having shopped Udrih and Collison around for smaller deals, I'll have a starting cap space of $18million with which to re-sign Lebron, but I hope to have more to secure Lebron in a partnership with Bosh for the rest of their forseeable careers.

WOW. Thanks Cleveland. Next time you offer me those same players and we agree to a deal, don't make the same trade with another team. We had this deal in place since before the playoffs were close to being over. Way to back out.

Sorry Chicago. I know how it feels when people back out. Cheer up a little:/

I don't think I can accept this trade. Lebron is the most valuable asset in the league. Deron Williams is a nice start, but Deng and Perkins don't even come close to making up the value differential IMO.

The way I see it, Udrih and Collison's contracts drag the massive bonus Lebron brings down to a level equatable with Perkins + Deng + Deron.
I once traded Brandon Roy + Josh Smith for Dwyane Wade. I see this trade as similar.

We had this deal in place since before the playoffs were close to being over. Way to back out. I'm getting the feeling Cleveland's going to stiff me on this deal too. I've sent him a PM telling him to accept the deal, I know he's read the PM, but he hasn't done anything And he offered me the deal too.

He set up this deal with me before I was even knocked out of the playoffs. Then at the start of the offseason said to wait. Then resent the offer, I said ok. And then he backed out without saying anything to me to do it with you...

I've told Cleveland to get two accounts if it's him and his brother both controlling the team. The Assistant GM system should work nicely for them and resolve this kind of fuckign annoyance.
