    Mozgov was traded on July 6th this year for Dwight. He was then traded the next day for Biyombo. And that second trade was a 3 team trade, meaning, it very likely was set-up prior to the Dwight trade that made it all possible.

    From Coon's CBA FAQ:

    In addition, teams cannot trade players under the following circumstances:
    • For two months after receiving the player in trade, if the trade aggregates the player's salary with the salaries of other players. However, the team is free to trade the player immediately, either by himself or without aggregating his salary with other salaries.

    A huge part of me was hoping to have him on the roster, but I don’t believe the Rockets need him. We have A roster right now to win multiple championships.

    (time index 14:58 - Ira thinks the Wizards / Otto Porter are a sleeper for Thibs/Minny)

    Actual news at the moment is Heat are out of the race. It is our return to
    Wolves have declared to the world how successful they are!
    The best back-up plan ever:
    Butler has been working out at the team’s practice facility, reportedly has been in regular contact with his teammates and doesn’t intend to miss any regular-season games.

    Jesus the Wolves are living in fantasy land. They actually think they have leverage.

    The Wolves are doing everything possible to keep Jim away from camp

    Ear: (Obvious) Jimmy will not play any game for the Wolves, nor will the Wolves request his services. The only exception is the "Kobe Rule" (go back on your trade demand)

    Miami is in the lead because Jimmy's team is pushing that direction with some great help from Dwade and Pat Friedly. Miami has lots of "good" players to keep Minny competitive.

    Ear: Minny has inquired about Tobias/parts from Lac.

    I want Malcolm, with or without a Jimmy trade.

    btw Codman, MCW looking like a good fit. Still willing to part with significant assets for Malcolm?

    I've already stated I want Winslow. I guess I didn't stutter enough for some of you to read it after I said it the seventh time.

    And the Rockets would prefer to have Winslow over Butler.

    Malcolm Brogdon has a debilitating foot injury that will always flare up, limit his defensive sliding, and shorten his career. Great character player. But won't be reliable because his injury has permanently limited him. Bucks are trying to sell high on him.

    I want Tyus or Frank Mason.

    Maybe we flip Chriss for Malcolm and send Malcolm to Phoenix for Richuan...

    Clutchfans is a cool website, I think we all found out about Jimmy Butler and Minny before the media insiders.
