Ruffin/Diogu deal includes ...
I haven’t been able to find this anywhere on the net, but according to 1080 the Fan (I know take it for what it's worth) In the Ruffin/Diogu trade the Blazers also receive a $3.13 million trade exception. I believe this is the way we got James Jones from the Suns, and Rop said it’s the way we got Rudy's pick. Meaning we can take a player for 3.13 million off another team and/or get a first round draft pick for doing so.

why was Sacramento allowed to take in more salary
in the Diogu/Ruffin swap when they are over the cap>
Sergio, Rudy, GOOOAAAL!
trade exception
created when they did the first deal
Rule #1 of nitpicking is to get it right.
rudy/jones
we got James Jones for a trade exception created by the Zach trade
We bought the draft rights to Rudy for $3 million in cash
In NBA terms, they were completey seperate trades. The clincher was that Phoenix required us to do the first in order to do the second.

yep..
I read that somewhere on the ‘net too. I think it was the basis of the deal.. Along with the fact that Ruffin hasn’t played a game this year and is further along in his career, so riding pine shouldn’t cause any problems.

Now that we have this trade exception
any player out there could help us this year will fit that $3 mil price tag?
i think we could use it in combination with a trade (i.e. trade the exception along with sergio + outlaw for someone of more salary)
correct me if im wrong though

so think of it as 3 mill wiggle room in a trade
