    We Renounce Dream. Then Chicago Sign and Trades Dream back to us for Kelvin Cato?

    They get Cato for nothing . . .Dream gets a
    7 million contract.

    EVERYONE WINS
    [well . . .we win . . .i dunno about chicago but
    hell if they want him]

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but since we are both under the cap. We could give Cato to them and not get anything back and resign Dream to anything we want. The point is that the rockets do want something back for him. I would take a Jordan Jersey and pack of cigarettes.

    If a team signs someone who isn't their own FA they have to wait 2 months. And even then, if it looks suspicious they could get into trouble. Something similar happened several years ago with Portland and New York when the Knicks were trying to acquire Dudley who was a Portland FA, and the NBA and the Knicks/Blazers went to court. It's to troublesome, and risky to do.

    woa nellie!

    Renouncing Dream simply makes him a $0 cap hit on our salary, and he can't sign using a Bird Exception with us for one yr. He is still our free agent, so only we can Sign and Trade him.
