The deal Frees up ZERO money. In order to make the trade, combined salaries from both teams have to be within a certain % of each other (forget the exact number)
Besides the fact that the trade is lopsided in talent, the Lakers are now stuck with Brian Grant who is physically beaten down, he has got an outrageous contract for the next 3 years. Also the guy might not even pass his physical which would void the trade
Not sure what the obssesion is with Dirk either. He is a 7 footer who has got no inside game and plays zero D.
