Not official, but it looks like it's going to happen.

Thoughts?

Well, now it looks like George is going to block it.

However, I like it.

My favorite p_layer_ back on my favorite team.

When I heard about the trade I went on ESPN.com's trade machine and made it happen. To my relief it said it works but it also mentioned under George that he had a no trade clause. I didn't think about it then because he was a minor part of the trade, but geez, how did that guy get a no trade clause? I'm sure there's a way to make the trade happen without him, and I too hope the trade goes through.

Yeah, I hope they can make it work with or without him as well. I just saw a quick flash of the score/stats of the game last night...........did I really read that George was 0-11?

Yep. He needs to be cut or something if he isn't traded. He brings basically nothing to the table.

"Although Kobe Bryant is the only p_layer_ in the league with a specific no-trade clause in his contract, league rules dictate that p_layer_s on a one-year contract -- but who spent the previous season with the same team and are thus eligible for Early Bird free-agent rights at the end of the contract -- cannot be traded without their consent. George, who earns $2.4 million this season, is one of 18 such p_layer_s in the league at present, afforded the right to either approve or veto trades because those Bird rights are lost if they do get traded."
