Not official, but it looks like it's going to happen.

Thoughts?

Well, now it looks like George is going to block it.

However, I like it.

My favorite player back on my favorite team.

When I heard about the trade I went on ESPN.com's trade machine and made it happen. To my relief it said it works but it also mentioned under George that he had a no trade clause. I didn't think about it then because he was a minor part of the trade, but geez, how did that guy get a no trade clause? I'm sure there's a way to make the trade happen without him, and I too hope the trade goes through.

Yeah, I hope they can make it work with or without him as well. I just saw a quick flash of the score/stats of the game last night...........did I really read that George was 0-11?

Yep. He needs to be cut or something if he isn't traded. He brings basically nothing to the table.

"Although Kobe Bryant is the only player in the league with a specific no-trade clause in his contract, league rules dictate that players on a one-year contract -- but who spent the previous season with the same team and are thus eligible for Early Bird free-agent rights at the end of the contract -- cannot be traded without their consent. George, who earns $2.4 million this season, is one of 18 such players in the league at present, afforded the right to either approve or veto trades because those Bird rights are lost if they do get traded."
