Actually, sully, House would have been Early Bird This Summer (2 years with team).
He will be Full Bird Next Summer (3 years with team).
I thought the same restriction on trading Eddie (needing his approval to lose Bird rights)
applies when Full Bird Rights are at risk of loss, just like Early Bird.
Now, Eddie will not get an $11 Million contract next year like Ben Gordon,
but to give up the right to that kind of raise is something he doesn't have to do.
What am I missing here?
