Memphis Trades:
N Robinson $1,268,160--$2,020,179--$2,911,078 Dampier $10,590,500--$11,553,000
Denver Trades:
Antoine Walker--8,547,000--9,320,500--10,094,000--10,867,500
Both of us get rid of players we don't want because of their salaries, and since dampier's salary is worse than walker's, i threw in Nate Robinson to level it out.

I reject. Atleast Nate Robinson, and to a lesser extent, Dampier are worth something. Walker is just cancer.

Your logic seems a bit flawed Memphis. You are throwing in Nate Robinson to compensate for Dampier's contract? If the info you posted is correct, sure Walker makes about $2 million less per year, but his contract runs TWO YEARS LONGER. If anything, Denver should have to throw in an incentive for someone to take Walker's contract. Edit: I reject in case it wasn't blatantly obvious.

1) I'm losing my third string PG, big deal
2) Those two million (actually i think its $3.5 million with Robinson in there) that i am losing are going to be extremely important this off-season when i am bidding against NY for top FA. Those $3.5 million could be the difference between landing superstar Vince Carter and landing a below-average star like Antawn Jamison. My team is already deep enough as is, and a superstar is all i need to break into the top 8 of the west.
3) Walker isn't a complete scrub. Sure he might be in real life, but this isn't real life. In this game he can contribute, and will contribute. (And in real life, he's not that bad either...Minnesota traded Rickey Davis and Mark Blount, two starters for him and it wasn't for contractual reasons either cuz Davis' expires this year)
4) I am loaded at PF/C. With Boozer, Horford, Etan Thomas, Hakim Warrick, and Sean Williams, the abscence of Dampier really won't affect me that much.
5) I have J.J. Barea as my fourth string PG, and judging by the way he's been playing in real life, if i ever need to use a third string PG i'll have one ready in him.
So i seriously don't think my logic is flawed at all because my motives for this trade go a little deeper than "Walker is just cancer", and i think you guys' personal views of walker are ignoring a pretty good business move in the process.

Also, since the accepting/rejecting of this trade sort of effects me (Memphis explained we might be competing for free agents if this trade goes through), I think its only fair if I take away my vote on this trade to remove any suspicion of a bias. Utah, Chi, and Boston....and Philly will have to vote.

Utah, Chi, and Boston....and Philly will have to vote. I didn't think you were swayed by personal gain, i was just making a note that i had to compete with somebody who has $35 million in space. If you honestly don't think this is a good trade, i don't see any reason why your vote should be discounted.

We're going to be reviewing player-ratings and making some major changes soon. Antoine Walker won't benefit from them.
If I were you I'd try and get more for Nate & Dampier.

This trade doesnt work salary cap wise anyway. Denver is already way over the cap & this doesnt work under the 125% rule
