I wish everyone would quit with the sign-and-trade of other team's players BS.

You can only sign and trade your own free agents.

Also, you can't package a player to be signed-and-traded with other players. They have to be the only player traded.

That apparently is not right.

Why do you say that?

Last year when Brad Miller was signed and traded he was packaged with other contracts I think.

Wasn't it Ron Artest, who was later traded to San Tone with Teraglue to save cap room.

I believe it was different because it was a three-way trade. Both the Pacers and Kings needed to clear cap room, the Kings to accept Miller's contract, and the Pacers' to sign him - the Pacers didn't have his Bird rights.

So in a sense it was actually three trades - the Pacers sent Ron Mercer to San Antonio for Danny Ferry, the Kings sent Turkoglu to San Antonio, and the Pacers sign-and-traded Miller for Pollard.

It was a crappy deal all around for Indy, but they saved a boatload of money in the process.
