** Agreement in place that Matt Niskanen remains with Philadelphia for the remainder of the season and upon conclusion, gets shipped to LA **

how's that different from a loan?

[The BBKL Insider]

its the same as other deals where we allow a team to keep a player until "roster lock"

basically after the next roster lock we will process this deal.

how's that different from a loan?

It's not a loan. Philadelphia keeps Niskanen until the next roster lock, then gets moved to LA. LA keeps him after that.

He needs Niskanen to meet the GP requirements, thus not processed until the roster lock.

yeah, but i thought Niskanen was going to stay for more than one roster lock, unlike other previous occurrences; that basically would have meant for LA acquiring Niskanen, giving him back to philly on loan, just to get him back at season's end.

Why are you making a big deal out of this? Both teams are out of the playoffs, I fail to see how anyone can label this a "loan." It's clearly meant to ensure Philly meets the gp limit, I'm sure these two could easily complete this deal in two weeks if absolutely necessary, this just ensures the deal on paper.

i don't think i'm making it a big deal, i merely asked a question..

just trying to get what is allowed and what is not; anyway, what i'm getting is that like in the past they're allowed to complete it after next roster lock.

Exactly,

i've never understood why some people try to make life harder than it is!

I mean, hell, if Kareem can see how easy this is, than fuck, it must be!

Are you implying I make life harder than it needs to be...

[MSP4LYFE]

Put that in my list of top 5 regrets.

I'm implying that if you're OK with something, then most people should be! lol

simply stating, some people (not you) take shit too far.
