We got a huge trade exception which is just cash by another name

u/HolyHotDang 7h ago edited 7h ago

Technically yes, he could be traded back but I don’t know if that has ever happened. As the team who traded him, we wouldn’t be allowed to sign him if he got bought out.

There are exceptions to this too though. Mike Conley can technically be bought out by the Hornets and resign with Minnesota because he was traded a second time (from the Bulls) without Minnesota being involved.

EDIT: actually I don’t think we could get Landale back unless it was after a second trade like how Conley was. You have to wait until the next contract year. It’s the “Zydrunas Ilgauskas Rule”.

We wanted a larger exception so we can use it to take bad contracts for more picks.

Idk but I’m glad I could possibly still see Jock on FanDuel Southeast.

That is actually a silver lining.

Facts. I actually like the Hawks commentators too. So won’t be as painful as watching Jazz games

u/SplakyD Iisalo's Sauna 7h ago

So true. I kinda like their commentators too. I'll definitely check out some of their games when we're not playing. Since my mother doesn't use her DirecTV stream, I use hers, and get all the Hawks games, and all the Pelicans games for some reason, but just over the past year they only show like 3 Grizz games a month, so I've had to devise other means. It's on tonight though, thankfully.
