What is the rule on a player being traded to a team , being bought out by that team , and then returning to the first team ? Is there a certain amount of time that must pass between him being bought out and him re- signing ?

Happened with Brent Barry last year...

Must wait 30 days to resign with the original team.

To avoid confusion, the player cannot be re-signed by his original team for 30 days from the date of the trade (not from the date of the buyout).
