| I agree that it's too soon to be talking about trading Dice.
I may have overstated that his Trade kicker makes it too hard to trade him.
If we decided after this year that Darko is ready to take over the backup PF/C spots it is possible to trade Dice.
This is how a trade kicker works:
It's considered a bonus to the player. The bonus counts on the salary cap... but only his original salary is tradable.
This TK (trade kicker) creates an imbalance for teams wanting to trade for your player (other team takes on more salary than it receives)
The new 25% rule does make it easier to make a mismatched salary trade now a days.
There's a clause in Dice's contract that states all of his TK $'s can be used on the option year of his contract in 08/09... that's why Joe wrote up the option year (it's a CBA rule)
So the end result is if we can find a team that can take the difference in salary $'s Dice is very tradable...
A trade Kicker is not the same as a no trade clause.
Chauncey also has a TK
