    not until he's off the IR list. So no trades for at least 5 games.

    So who's trading for who now?

    I never said I would trade Dream for Shaq.

    If there is a big, complicated trade going down, it'll take time to get it figured out. So now Dream doesn't get hurt in the process.

    Why does Hakeem being on IR prevent him from being traded?

    The other team does have the right to make Hakeem take a physical, but they can also waive that right.

    Remember when the Stoudamire trade happened? Kenny Anderson refused to take his physical with Toronto and the Raptors waived the physical. I'm also pretty sure that Grant Hill didn't pass any physicals prior to his sign and trade with Orlando.

    aelliot: I remember reading that no player on injured reserve may be traded. They have to be on a team's active roster even if the other team agreed to waive the physical.

    I think Jeff is right because
    I read in the Sporting News that
    Orlando is mad because Lakers
    stashed Tyronne Lue on IL

    The Magic want him as a back up
    PG and cannot do anything [sign
    or trade for him]
