Boston should receive another trade exception worth $4.3Mish, since it looks like Washington is just absorbing Humphries with their own TPE.

MY NOTE:  We've got no space on the roster for him, so this is a no-brainer.  We get a TPE for being nice guys.  $4.5M/year for Hump is a steal.

Humphries to Wiz in sign-and-trade

The Washington Wizards are set to acquire veteran forward Kris Humphries as part of a sign-and-trade deal with the Boston Celtics, sources confirmed to ESPN.com.


It looks like the Celtics will generate at least a trade exception for facilitating Kris Humphries' deal with the Wizards, writes Chris Forsberg. Story

Humphries is expected to sign a three-year, $13 million contract. The Wizards and Celtics are finalizing the details of the sign-and-trade agreement.

The deal was first reported by Bleacher Report.

Humphries averaged 8.4 points and 5.9 rebounds over 19.9 minutes per game last season. Acquired as part of the blockbuster deal that sent Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to Brooklyn, Humphries earned a team-high $12 million last season and emerged as a locker-room leader while nurturing the development of Boston's younger talent.

Humphries took to Twitter to say he's ready to get started with his new team by calling out the address of Verizon Center -- the Wizards' home arena.

The Celtics, stocked with young talent at power forward, were not expected to re-sign Humphries this summer. It seems likely that Boston will receive a trade exception as part of the sign-and-trade agreement with Washington.

The Wizards appear to have the ability to absorb Humphries' contract by receiving a trade exception as part of the sign-and-trade deal that will send Trevor Ariza to the Houston Rockets.

Just another example of Danny squeezing the very most out of every asset he can.

Farewell to the Renaissance Man, Kris Humphries. Started with the worst intro press conference in Celtics history + got better every day.

Danny Ainge is close to his lifelong dream of having 20 draft picks over a five-year span. This Hump trade could get him there.

MY NOTE:  There's talk we'll get a draft pick, like a 2nd rounder, along with the $4.3M TPE for facilitating this for Wiz.  You're amazing Danny.

I think I'll send Danny one of those green eye shades in celebration of his wheeler dealer side.

Sam

Danny must have been a Middle Eastern rug merchant in a past life. What a wheeler dealer. What a brain on that guy.

I have this image of Danny, floating in the air on a magic carpet, looking upward, and winking at a certain column of smoke.

Sam

Puffing on a hookah.

Danny is trying to make  lemonade out of lemons............he does not have much to work with right now.............kind of like a player who is having a tough night shooting...........so he's grinding it out by attacking the rim hoping to draw fouls and get to the free throw line.

We'll see how he uses it to determine the significance of the accommodation but you cannot turn down something free when your begging........although it happened to me when I bought a sandwich for a bum on the street and he threw it back at me because he wanted liquor instead!

There's plenty of tradeable assets on this team, but the market for game changers is very small. What free agents/players on the trading block could bring this team closer to contention?

Adrian Wojnarowski: Washington, Boston have completed sign-and-trade for Kris Humphries, source says. Boston gets a trade exception and protected 2nd round pick Twitter @WojYahooNBA


As soon as I get some info about what exactly "protected" 2nd round pick means I'll post it here.

Good job, Danny.  You used a player that, through no fault whatsoever of his own, we couldn't  use anymore but were not paying for and got something for him.  It's the Von Wafer-to-Orlando-with-Big-Baby-for-Bass deal redux.  Von Wafer was no longer on the roster and had no active contract with us but we had some influence because he was on our roster the previous year and could do a sign-and-trade with him to make a deal work.

Everything tastes better with a little sweetener.

Bob,

I would imagine the "protected" status might mean he same thing in the 2nd round as it does in the 1st round. Washington might want the pick if it occurs in the first 5 picks in the 2nd round (or something similar).

The 2nd round picks have no guaranteed contracts and the early picks may actually be a good place to find a player who has dropped out of the 1st round for medical or other reasons.

gyso,


I figured that's what it meant, I'm going to try and find out what level of "protection". Protected 30-40? 50-60?

If it's any help, here how the Kings' protected second rounder to the Celtics works:
