HoopsHype lists his salary for this season at $10,912,500. They also list 
Eric Williams at $5,540,000; Delk at $2,925,000; and Kedrick at $1,757,640 for 
this year. If all those are correct figures then that deal would work cap wise 
although RealGM's Trade Checker says it won't. 

You'd have to question Boston's willingness to take on Van Exel and his 
baggage, though. Not to mention the Luxury Tax implications for next year. From 
Golden State's perspective, is the allure of two expiring contracts (counting 
KB's) enough in exchange to unload NVE?

P.S. And the C's also have the $2M trade exception in their back pocket that 
I don't think RealGM is taking into account, either.
