TRADE ACCEPTED

Due to Chicago and Boston being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. Chicago and Boston had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Getting Oakley gives them toughness, and will improve the offensive rebounding and defensive glass. It is obvious Walker is mentally blocked from getting down in the paint pulling down some boards. He is going to launch the 3s no matter what, so might as well go get someone who can get the misses!
