A little known CBA rule became a big deal last season when, on this date 12 months ago, the Golden State Warriors acquired Dennis Schroder before moving him again in the blockbuster Jimmy Butler trade at the February deadline.
There's now a major watch on whether teams will undertake a similar ploy in the next 24 hours, allowing them the flexibility to trade players again before the deadline if needed. However, don't expect the Warriors to repeat what they did with Schroder, having had their flexibility ruined to some degree by Jonathan Kuminga's free agency drama during the offseason.
