    I don't think teams can trade players that they sign right away. Don't they have to wait until December 15?

    Exactly. Plus, Smith is a high-usage player, as are Harden and Howard. Putting all three together will lessen the effectiveness of at least one of them; Hickson would cause no such conflict, as he doesn't need the ball to be effective.

    Hopefully the NBA is as strict as the IRS. That would have to be considered part of his total compensation if it is linked to his Lakers contract, right? I mean, it's really not like a separate endorsement deal in this case?

    They can sign-and-trade their own free agents immediately. the Dec. 15 waiting period only applies if you sign a free agent from another team, or if the trade isn't agreed to as part of the conditions of the signing.

    No I don't think they do at all. They might be more inclined to trade with GM's who are historically easy to get along with but they don't have "wink wink" totally committed deals. They are in the business of maximizing their own roster for their boss who writes the checks.

    I still think Pek will at least get $10m-$12m/per.

    I also believe that under the new CBA, teams over the cap can't 'trade' for free agents via sign-and-trade scenarios.

    But we wouldn't be over cap in this scenario.

    Damn, blazed beat me too it. Would love to jump into that and take him off of their hands if they are dumping him.

    Washington has already offered Webster a contract, according to sources.

    Because I just got home and am lazy can anyone tell me if there is any substantial rumors involving Portland currently? Anything on other free agents being linked to us yet? Thanks ahead of time.
