Shopping Chris Kaman? Good fit for Hawks? Any chance?

tontoz- consider the following situation. At the trade deadline last year BK goes to Childress to see what his salary expectations would be in order to resign. If his demands came out too high or he made it clear that he wanted out of the Hawks organization then he would work out a trade then to make sure that he got SOME value out of Childress. Do you really think that this is prohibited by the league?

That is a poor example. Sund would already know Childress' contract demads because he heard them during the previous summer.

You think at the trade deadline this season the Hawks would be barred from talking to Marvin's agent about what it woudl take to resign him? He has outplayed his season from last year and his salary demands would have changed. Of course they are allowed to talk to their own players about salary issues.

If you talk to someone else's player about contract issues your team is charged with tampering. What do you think that you are charged with if you talk to your own player about contract issues?
