Wolves trade 2nd rounder for Beno Udrih
Spurs Trade Udrih To Wolves For 2nd Round 2008 Pick
El Paso Times -
Quote:
The San Antonio Spurs said Monday that they have traded guard Beno Udrih to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a protected second-round draft pick in 2008.
The 6-foot-3 Udrih broke his left index finger earlier this month during Spurs training camp.
Udrih's role on the team decreased last season as veteran Jacque Vaughn took over as backup point guard to Tony Parker.

InsideHoops.com editor Jeff Lenchiner hears the Wolves also received cash considerations in the deal, and that they are going to waive Udrih. Strange deal.

Re: Wolves trade 2nd rounder for Beno Udrih
Eh, we seem to do better on second round picks than first round picks (Craig Smith, Chris Richard), so I don't like this. I don't really see a point in doing this anyways.

Re: Wolves trade 2nd rounder for Beno Udrih
The Spurs only get the 2nd rounder if we're one of the four best teams in the league next year. So essentially the Spurs save a little money and Glen Taylor saves a little money. Not really a meaningful deal, but makes sense for both sides.

I don't quite get it. I thought we're getting a lot of money and then more to come after this season and next.

Re: Wolves trade 2nd rounder for Beno Udrih
Wierd trade for Minnesota, and quite pointless. You give up a 2nd round pick to pay a player who won't even be on your team? Why?

How is it money SAVING on Minnesota's part? you give up a pick to take on a player you're going to cut anyway. If anyone saves money, it's San Antonio. The whole point wasn't me being upset about the fact that they traded a good pick for a guy they're not even gonna use, but how is it exactly saving money? It's a pointless trade.

It saves money because unless the Wolves finish as one of the top four teams in the NBA this seas--odds of which are about 0.001%--we don't actually give up the pick. So basically, San Antonio paid us to take Beno Udrih and his salary off their roster (and waive him). No pick will actually trade hands, barring a miracle.

Doesn't Udrih have a guarenteed contract though? You get the money from San Antonio to pay for his salary then cut him. It's a pointless trade, unless for some wierd reason San Antonio paid more money to you then just Udrih's contract, or unless Udrih's contract was only partially guarenteed.

Re: Wolves trade 2nd rounder for Beno Udrih
By all reports, the money received was also used toward Howard's buyout, so it was presumably more than Udrih's deal. (Which was fully guaranteed, as it was part of his rookie contract as a former first-rounder.)
