Honestly, it would have been a decent trade for Orlando if they'd paid New York a modest sum to TAKE Francis. Actually getting something for him would only be a bonus.

Not to mention Ariza isn't dogfood.

Isaiah is on a roll. He could sign Penny back for less than they were paying him before the deal.

Well, only if it's a long-term deal. The Knicks like to lock up their players long-term.

I really thought they made this illegal last offseason after the Celtics traded Gary Payton, the Hawks cut him, and the Celtics resigned him. I know someone else remembered something like that as well. What happened to that rule?

Actually a pretty good question. I was surprised to see this, and wondered why there wasn't some kind of clause stopping this.
