Rockets trade rumor? (brief mention on 610 this a.m.)

Actually, that's not true.

As for sarcastic responses... well, given that this is a thread about a random rumor about a unspecified trade with no names attached, I'd give people a pass.

 

I pee in the shower.

 

best reply so far.

85. When can't a player be traded? .....For two months after receiving the player in trade or claiming him off waivers, if the player is being traded in combination with other players. However, the team is free to trade the player by himself (not packaged with other players) immediately. This restriction applies only to teams over the salary cap. (Also see question number 72 for a special case where players can be traded together in less than two months.)......For three months or until December 15th of that season (whichever is later) after signing a contract as a free agent. .....For 30 days after signing as a draft pick....A team cannot reacquire a player they traded away during that season (a season being July 1 - June 30) unless the player has been waived.......There seems to be a lot of confusion about the first bullet item above. Many media reports mistakenly say that a player cannot be re-traded for two months under any circumstances, even by himself. This is not true -- Danny Manning's trade from Phoenix to Orlando, and soon thereafter to Milwaukee is one example of the correct application of this trade rule. Other media reports confuse the sign-and-trade rule with this one, claiming that the player can be re-traded within 48 hours or after 60 days, but not in between.



I guess the trade was completed before June 30th so you are correct. Conveinent.

I'd do Rafer + Reed for Howard + 2nd.

Well at least RM95 was actually funny, OK I'll give it a pass too.

 

this thread is pretty much a waste of reading and really annoying with all the sarcasm...so did anyone actually here the rumor or not...

here comes more sarcasm i bet

 

Okay, the answer is...........no. No, there is no truth that they're giving us Bosh for Rafer.

See? That wasn't much fun.
