I heard it ends today. Is there a time deadline that they have to use it by. If they go w/o using their exception at all or heck, even if they do use it, who cares, so long as it isn't a deal in a player that the Rockets would have interest in. That would put us as serious serious players after today for we would be the only ones out there with a large trade exception and more teams will be lining up to do a deal. ------------------
I suspect it has to be used by midnight tonight. I bet that the Rockets are going to get something really big with theirs and a better deal than Indiana gets with theirs just because they'll have more time to put the deal together.

I believe theirs came as part of the Antonio Davis trade. Ours came to us as part of the Pippen deal. ------------------ Save Our Rockets and Comets SaveOurRockets.com
It seems plausible that ours would be preserved for a G. Robinson acquisition unless something better comes along. ------------------ Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning? - Dubyah in Florence, SC. 01/11/2000
Jeff's right about where Indiana got the exception. They gave away Davis' salary and took on the rights to an unsigned rookie (which didn't count against their cap) -- Jonathon Bender. For us, Pippen made more by himself than all of the guys we got back from Portland put together. And I think we also got some of ours in taking on the rights to an unsigned free agent -- Stevie. ------------------
How did Indiana get their exception? And could someone please explain to me again how we got our exception? ------------------ Who's ya daddy?
