If anyone needed further proof towards why the NBA is dead to me here is an article about the Kidd to Dallas trade. Originally Dallas was going to send Jerry Stackhouse to Nets just to equalize the money of Kidd, and the New Jersey would cut Stackhouse and Dallas would resign him. New Jersey did not want the money or the player, and Dallas wants Stackhouse and will pay the money. The league put the kibosh on that and said Stackhouse couldn't be included if he were cut. Now Dallas put Keith Van Horn in the trade and it was approved. The trick is that Van Horn is retired, and will stay retired (retired because he sucks not because he is old). New Jersey will accept him as a trade and will pay him $4 million but will not give him a roster spot. Much like a teacher on a snow day, he will be paid to sit at home.

SO they let a retired player collect money for not playing, but wont let a cut and trade go through? Where is the logic??
racists
Yes, but if I make 4 million in a month of not playing basketball, call me guilty.
Holy crap, Snow.man is alive, hide your loved ones!
