The NBA issued a memo this week establishing that teams that trade coaches or other non-playing personnel are not allowed to make any other trades for one calendar year or until the coach or executive’s contract would have expired, whichever is earlier, notes Mark Deeks of ShamSports. The memo also issues guidelines that make it more difficult for teams to dump salary in trades, as Deeks explains.
More from around the league:
- Trade exceptions for four teams expired at the end of Thursday, the largest of which was one the Warriors held that was worth more than $9.8MM, as we noted earlier. The Clippers watched one worth more than $2.6MM expire, the Nuggets lost one worth nearly $2.4MM, and the Raptors saw one worth more than $1.2MM extinguished.
- The Wizards are waiting on Houston’s move in regards to Chandler Parsons offer sheet which will impact the Rockets‘ pursuit of free agent Trevor Ariza, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports (Twitter link).

so the Heat are going to pay Mike Miller to play for the Cavs they’re trying to bring in Ray Allen and Birdman to join LeBron, and they get to keep the Heat’s 2015 1st round pick
I totally forgot about Trevor Booker being a free agent.
i think birdman will be back with heat but he will use cleveland as leverage to get better deal from riley. i could see ray allen with cavs … i wonder if they can trade waiters for 1rst round unprotected if that would be enough to get love along with bennett.
