標題：GS Warriors deal their way under luxury tax threshold Posted By: Rusty Simmons | Feb 21 at 1:11 pm http://tinyurl.com/ag7koqk The Warriors avoided paying the league’s increasingly punitive luxury tax at the last possible second, dealing away end-of-bench players Charles Jenkins and Jeremy Tyler minutes before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline. Jenkins, a second-year guard who was traded to Philadelphia, averaged 1.7 points and 0.6 assists in 47 games this season and was losing minutes to undrafted rookie Kent Bazemore. Last season, Jenkins played in 51 games and averaged 8.6 points and 5.1 assists in 28 starts. Tyler, a 21-year-old forward who was shipped to Atlanta, has been inactive nine times and has logged 23 DNP-CD’s this season. In last season’s rookie campaign, he played in 42 games and averaged 7.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in 23 starts. The Warriors will receive a second-round pick for each player. The Warriors are one of seven teams that have never made a luxury tax payment since it came into existence with the 1999 collective bargaining agreement. Owner Joe Lacob said he was willing to go into the tax, but wisely decided against it this season. On top of missing out on a cut of the tax revenue and having to pay a tax themselves, the Warriors would have increased their chances of being a future repeat offender. The Warriors were only $1.2 million over the league’s $70.307 million luxury threshold, so it didn’t seem worth starting the clock on the steep repeat-offender penalty. 勇士小交易： Charles Jenkins > 76人，換來第二輪選秀籤 Jeremy Tyler > 老鷹，換來第二輪選秀籤 老闆表示他願意附豪華稅，但還沒到花大錢的時機 所以繼續先當個小資勇士 -- 我命犯天煞孤星 無伴終老 孤獨一生 ─ 中華英雄 --
