[Truck Lewis]

Come on guys its pretty obvious that The C's did this to free up a roster spot.

but why did Cassell agree to it?

He didn't have to agree to it, there isn't a no-trade clause in his contract.  They could have asked how he felt about it out of respect to a veteran, but he couldn't stop them from doing it.

i'm pretty sure he had to agree to the trade.

Is there some kinda bogus horse nuggets about how if we resigned him it would be compensated by the league (subsidized) or anything?

I mean if we resign him is makes less than zero sense, right?

To do a favour to the C's (and to the Kings). Why wouldn't he? What's he losing?

The Celtics saved money. The Kings made money. Cassell earned some (additional) good-will and certainly a coaching job in the future. Teams who are bellow the luxury tax lost a few bucks though.

well that kinda what i'm saying...unless there was a wink and a nod, then i would think Sam would want to stay with the Cs as their backup PG for the playoff run....instead of being going into a serious state of flux...

maybe he'll sign on with someone else, but I just they really do want to have him here since he's been here all season.

You may be right...I forgot about the intricacies of contracts under the CBA.  I was thinking along the lines of an official "no-trade clause" (Kobe is the only player with one in his contract) but I did some checking up and certain veterans can veto trades under specific conditions.
