No trade this year for Radmanovic?

    Sticky situation in Seattle
    As Vladimir Radmanovic and Seattle coach Bob Weiss go back and forth over playing time and a potential relocation for the Sonics' slinger, bear this in mind: Radmanovic is in the fifth and last year of his rookie contract, which is viewed around the league as a one-year deal. And as such, he cannot be traded without his consent. (That is a new twist in the new collective bargaining agreement.) However, if he decides to agree to a deal, he surrenders his Bird rights, which would not be the case if he remained in Seattle and got the Sonics to agree to a sign-and-trade next summer. In other words, unless Radmanovic and his agent can find a receptive team with plenty of cap room next year (Chicago, for instance), it would be a colossal financial blunder to agree to a trade, especially since he is reported to have already rejected a $42 million extension.

    Is this true ? No more trades for players in the last year of their contract, at the deadline?

    Vlad should fire and sue his agent for advising him to turn down $42MM guaranteed. Major major blunder. We'll never know, but I bet the agent didn't advise him of all the implications of turning down the big money and re-signing for just the one year. Either that or Vlad is just a very stupid player who way overvalued himself.

    True. I'm still surprised to read this bit about changes in the bargaining agreement - I hadn't heard that before. Anyone know more about this rule for players in the final year of their contract?

    You could never trade a player that signed for a one year tender before(see Stro of last year). It appears the CBA has loosened up in this go around, making it possible but at a cost to the player which makes it unlikely(if this article is accurate).
