After probably a week of negotiating OKC and the Spurs have come to an agreement.
OKC Trades:
84 Tyreke Evans 12,203,755 12,000,000 79 Wes Matthews 13,059,302 13,973,452 14,951,595 75 Luc Mbah a Moute 750,000 Denver 2018 2nd OKC 2020 2nd OKC 2018 2nd
Total 26,013,057 25,973,452 14,951,595
SAS Trades
80 Harrison Barnes 24,750,000 26,606,250 28,462,500 30,318,750 32,715,000 77 Kelly Olynyk 1,894,566 73 Randy Foye 800,000 900,000
Total 27,444,566 27,506,250 28,462,500 30,318,750 32,715,000
This trade works under the 125% trading rule and the math doesn't need to be done because it is quite obvious it works.
JR and I have been going back and forth for a long time about this trade and we finally have come to an agreement. I am giving up more picks than I would like to, but needed to give in for something to get done. Harrison doesn't have the idle contract, but I still like his potential in Dallas and his contract doesn't hurt as bad with Durant on my team. I get Olynyk to help with my big man depth as Cousins won't be back this year while also obtaining his bird rights. JR gets two good pieces on decent contracts that add more flexibility to his roster and future trading moves. He also receives three picks that he can package in future trades. It was a hard decision to make a trade as my team has been working well together with the comp I have now, but feel I needed to make a move if I am going to compete with the top teams come playoffs and season to come.

OKC and I have been going back and forth on this trade for maybe even two weeks. I tried and tried to pry Rozier from him but it would not happen. I tried everything I could including sitting back and being patient and possibly not doing the trade at all. We had other players in the trades as well including Knight, Amir Johnson, Simmons, Frazier, Wes Johnson , etc., but the trade was eventually evened out and we both have agreed. Getting the 2 additional 2nd rounders did help me decide to go through with our trade. I def wanted Dets #2 which should be pretty damn good. The other two will help move me up into a better pick or they might even help in acquiring guys from teams wanting extra picks.
I basically traded a future #1 for Jonas and Barnes, but I did realize Barnes contract will be a long one and by the end of his contract he may be a vet guy and it made moving him easier. Not only that what if Thomas leaves?? Now Evans and Thomas both can opt to leave or re-sign. Giving us a team to build from or the cap space to rebuild in FA. Matthews has always been a great defender and he still is. We can always use a guy of his talent and leadership. We lose Olynk but honestly even though we had hius BRs, we would end up having to pay near $15 mil to keep him. We would have to figure that out and prob lose him like we did Jonas... but this time we moved him while we could and got the great lpick from Detroit.
All in all we are happy. We wish OKC the best and we thank him for not being too much of a pain while dealing.
We Accept.

OKC doesn't have BRs on Cousins? I do, why? Read Cousins won't be back this year as Won't be back next year and forgot he was out injured. My bad, carry on. Decent looking trade.

I'm all for it no matter the picks really. Not sure why I said Detroit.

I accept. Good enough reasons for both teams, makes sense, not a huge value loss either way.
Accept.

I don't like this trade for SAS for a number of reasons, but it's not that unfair. Good pick up OKC.
I accept.
