(1) You are right, my words were badly chosen and too extreme.
Especially that last line highlighted in red. Scratch that line completely.
Conclusion should be along these lines -- Expiring contracts in combination with bad contracts have limited use and add limited value to a trade proposal + teams are hugely unlikely to find a positive end result by walking down that road.
(2) I can't see a team giving up a superior player who doesn't have a worse contract than Turkoglu + that contract would need to be far worse than Turkoglu's for the expiring contract to hold substantial value.
So essentially you're talking about a $15-to-$25 million per annum contract that lasts as long as Hedo Turkoglu's deal + a player who is performing so badly that the team sees Turkoglu's $10 million per annum for four more years contract as an improvement?
Is there any other type of trade that I'm overlooking?
