Semi OT-Interestingly, Minnesota could trade the Smitch

From TrueHoop:
Some of the names might surprise you -- like current Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell, who could in theory be traded by Minnesota. (Based on a conversation I just had with the league office, for the league to approve such a trade, the NBA would have to be satisfied that Mitchell's contract with the Raptors was completley resolved -- bought out, terminated etc. -- and that whichever team was acquiring Mitchell was doing so to get him to play basketball for them. They frown on retired players moving around on paper just to satisfy the collective bargaining agreement.)

All inspired by the Pau Gasol trade, since Aaron McKie was included as part of it.
So who do you think the Wolves could get for Sam
?

He's an expiring contract with negative trade value.

There's no such thing.
This is hilarious, I thought once the guy wasn't taking up a roster spot he couldn't be traded anymore.

Did the Gasol trade not teach you anything about the value of an expiring contract?

Why don't retired players (i.e. Smitch, Aaron Mckie, etc) send in their retirement papers into the league office?
