    Can we get those ten names by any chance? A lot of us don't have ESPN Insider so we can't read most of the article.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">New rules in the collective bargaining agreement allow teams an extra 10 percent wiggle room (from 15 to 25 percent) when trading salaries, allowing for more trade possibilities. And, with the possibility of waiving one player and having him removed from the cap for luxury tax purposes, more owners may be willing to take on a bad deal.</div>

    That's the part Sabretooth was referring to.

    A change like this would have so many teams in the Player Movement Central in the hunt. It should be intresting to see if the league frees up this move.

    One thing that I didn't know about the NFL was that a player could just be waived. I always thought that there were courses that teams had to go through to let a player go who is under contract. But it just seems like they can say "Hey, we wanna get _, let's start sending players home". It really seems like a raw deal for the players.......anyway. If that is the course that the NBA is going to, I can see alot more moves, but also alot more cuts at a whim.
