because he says repeat. so I take that to mean add together. could be completely wrong. but it kinda makes sense.

I thought Kohl just sold the bucks.

He used the word double twice?

Double Jet Li = The One. It's where we were getting 11 or 2 from.

i don't think MM was sticking that close to conventions on it. Which US Senator has ties to a team. Maybe not. Who knows. That's what makes this fun!

Guys I already solved it, let's go to bed.

Well in the Navy & Coast Guard repeat means Fire so maybe Monty is going to be fired and then George Karl hired which is the 7 Denver connection

Isn't there a sub reddit for code breaking? Someone should just post it there with the context and then stand back. lol

Maybe you're right, but I think the commas are deliberate, as is the + sign.

oh good idea, I don't have an account even though I read it everyday. Someone with someone with one should post it over there.

MM, can you give us two tips?

1. Is it double Jet Li or Nothing Double?

2. Are commas and plus signs deliberately different?

This is probably way off base, but Jet Li's stunt double was a man named Ju....

The return of Julian Wright?

Enough. My ship sails in the morning...

they might be deliberate or a way for him to show the point totals that we needed.

6,1,6,7,1 is mentioned in a Tupac song but I doubt that was MM's reference. lol.

Senator = Rubio or Sessions?

I think it was his reference of starin through my rearview

So what do we have so far?

Nothing = Aminu. I think that makes perfect sense now.

MM is a funny guy.

Nothing could be Aminu?

Elway = Denver. Jet Li - Jeremy Lin. Babe Ruth - Brian Roberts ???

TD, XP, TD, XP + TD, XP, Repeat*

US Senator, Warren Moon Blank Blank Blank, Blank Blank Elway Nothing Double Jet Li Babe Ruth



6,1,6,1 + 6,1, [Repeat]

6,1,6,7,1 6,1,6,7,1??? Maybe?

42 Maybe? Ajinca or the 42nd pick by Houston?


US Senator = Bucks?
Warren Moon = Houston?

blank blank blank, blank blank. We send out 3 and get back 2?

Elway = 7. Lin?
Nothing = Aminu?
Double Jet Li = 11 or 2 so Beverly, Miller, or Jrue
Babe Ruth = Asik.

Maybe the three blanks are the 3 guaranteed contracts we are sending out and the two blanks are the two non guaranteed contracts.

So Aminu, Ajinca, Someone, Ely, Babbitt.

As far as who the Someone is could be another S&T like Smith or maybe Rivers.

I also can't imagine Houston gives up Beverley because who would run point for them?

Babe Ruth wore 3 - Ty Lawson; double nothing -00 Darrell Arthur

I'm so confused on what's going on right now

I don't think the Elway reference was Denver. I think it was a jersey number. Which just happens to be Jeremy Lin who the Rockets are trying to dump.

I agree Warren Moon is Houston, but just by guessing I doubt Houston would take back any guaranteed money. So Babbitt, Ely, and??? Maybe they do take back Ajinca

I agree about Lin. Makes sense

Also, would be pumped if we got Beverly, but I doubt it.

I don't post much, but I love codes.

Here's my thoughts...I think all of the players listed could be pelicans players that we need to dump for it to work.

I'm pretty sure that the TD, XP, TD, XP + TD, XP, Repeat means 42, which most likely means Ajinca. That was a great catch by the previous poster, and it completely makes sense.

I agree that the two teams are Houston and Milwaukee (US Senator). I have no idea what the blanks are.

I think the rest are

Babe Ruth - Asik or Brian Roberts
Elway = Ely?
Nothing = Aminu??
Double Jet Li = 1 + 1 = 2 #2 - Darius Miller.

TD, XP, TD, XP + TD, XP, Repeat* could be the key for the names below it.

XP could stand for expiring. Idk I could be just confusing myself.

I don't think they take back any guaranteed contracts. There's a 3rd team the Bucks involved. They will get our 1st for taking Lin. Maybe Dell also talked them into giving up another asset for the 1st.

Just to be this out there. Brandon Knight is number 11 for the Bucks and Johnny o'Bryant is number 2

So can we say that the Warren Moon and the three blanks before the comma are the three unguaranteed contracts Houston gets?

TD, XP, TD, XP + TD, XP, Repeat*

US Senator, Warren Moon Blank Blank Blank, Blank Blank Elway Nothing Double Jet Li Babe Ruth


42 - Ajinca (Timberwolves won't give up Love unless they get Wiggins or some sort of decent trade)
US Senator - Rubio
Warren Moon - played for Minnesota Vikings and the Houston Oilers (#1) [Alexey Shved | Isaiah Canaan]
Elway - Denver (#7) [J.J Hickson]
Nothing/Nothing Double - (#0) [Aminu?] / (#00) [Darrell Arthur]
Double Jet-Li - (#2/11) ??
Babe Ruth - (B.R) Brian Roberts?

But where does Omer Asik land in this? Pretty sure I read somewhere Lin is being traded to Philly so cancel him out.

Pels, Wolves, Rockets, Nuggets trade

Rubio to Rockets?

Idk I'm off to bed too late for this haha

blank blank blank ,,, Al-Farouq Aminu

Wait. For some reason I was thinking we couldn't sign Miller and trade him without losing our MLE but he would be the same as Roberts. We just didn't extend the QA. Should still have Bird's Rights, right?

So that would make S&T Aminu, S&T Miller, Ajinca, Ely, Babbitt. That covers Asik's cap assuming Aminu gets anywhere near what he was previously.

So my guess is:

Bucks Get Lin, Aminu, Miller, Ajinca plus cash and our 1st.
Rockets Get Cap Space, Ely, Babbitt (they could technically go to Bucks too if they cared)
Pelicans Get Asik. Keep MLE / BAE.


MM, send me a private message if I'm right. I won't tell.

So that would make S&T Aminu, S&T Miller, Ajinca, Ely, Babbitt. That covers Asik's cap assuming Aminu gets just a slight amount.

So my guess is:

Bucks Get Lin, Aminu, Miller, Ajinca plus cash, and our 1st.
Rockets Get Cap Space, Ely, Babbitt (they could technically go to Bucks too if they cared)
Pelicans Get Asik. Keep MLE / BAE.

That looks pretty solid, my only question is why would Aminu and Darius want to sign with the Bucks. I could see maybe Aminu, I just don't know. It seems like a pretty solid trade though, I just don't think we S&T Darius, but that's just my guess

That makes sense to me with the blanks - 3 blanks for the bucks, and 2 for the rockets. I really think MM was just telling us who the Pelicans would be sending out in the trade.

I'm still confused about whether the Elway hint is for Ely or Lin. Would this work if Lin wasn't involved? That would be 3 players to the bucks plus a 1st, and 2 to the Rockets.

Also, what would the bucks be giving up in the trade?

Because we tell Aminu and Miller both that we aren't going to bring them back and here's a team that will take them. Aminu you can tell him we will give you 7.5% raises because of Bird's Rights. Miller I think does it because he just wants a guaranteed contract and to stay in the league. If he doesn't accept this odds are he's stuck in D-League this year and maybe forever. Far more money taking a guaranteed contract even on the Bucks.

I don't think MM listed either non guaranteed contract. Why would he put Ely up there but not Babbitt? Babbitt is No. 8 and I don't see the fit. I think he was giving the main pieces of the trade. The guaranteed contracts.

Also haven't really been any Amimu rumors lately (I feel like someone was interested earlier in free agency) would make sense if he's already signed with Bucks.

Do you understand the beginning line?

What beginning line?

The "TD, XP, TD, XP + TD, XP, Repeat" part?

6,1,6,1 + 6,1, [Repeat]

6,1,6,7,1 6,1,6,7,1??? Maybe?

42 Maybe? Ajinca

That's how we got Ajinca.

Sorry was trying to edit the post before you saw it.

The "TD, XP, TD, XP + TD, XP, Repeat" part?

6,1,6,1 + 6,1, [Repeat]

6,1,6,7,1 6,1,6,7,1??? Maybe?

42 Maybe? Ajinca

That's how we got Ajinca.

I'm an outsider. First post. Let's see.

I think this is the answer: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=kvkbern

My reasoning?

TD, XP, TD, XP + TD, XP, Repeat

6+1, 6+1 + 6+1= 21 * 2=

42= Kevin Love


At top because most important move.

Blank Blank Blank, Blank Blank = 3 in, 2 out?


US Senator= Rubio

Warren Moon= 1= Shved

Elway= 7= Lin

Nothing= Gordon (nothing lost)

Double Jet Li= 11= Jrue Holiday

Babe Ruth= 3= Asik
