Let's assume I'm talking about Cousins.
If Sac-town offers Cousins a Supermax this summer and he says "no", it proves he does not want to re-sign there. Sacremento would then have a chance to trade him so he does not leave for nothing the following summer.
Could a team trade for Cousins in the summer of 2017 and immediately sign him to a contract extension? My impression is that it could not be a super max as he's been traded. But can a traded player be extended a year early now?
This would likely benefit everyone as the receiving team could come to an agreement and not worry about him being a one year rental.

Very interested to see if this is actually possible or not.

Mostly descriptive this week - next week I'll be going into the nitty gritty and outlining this summer in detail, and I'll post a breakdown here when I do. Of course, views over there are always welcome.

http://www.basketballinsiders.com/un...pas-agreement/
Some stuff not previously rumoured:
- increase in cash to be traded
- increased trade disparity allowed (up to 175% from 150% on low salary trades, not clear if the higher salary trade limits are increasing as well)
- shorter moratorium each summer (July 6th noon end)
- rookie scale cap holds now 120%, so no benefit to waiting to sign them
- minimum exception contracts could be longer than 2 years, allowing teams to sign second rounders to 3-year deals (rumour is up to 5 years) with full Bird rights at the end without having cap space to do it with
One more month and the document itself should be available.

Do you think it's possible to keep Lowry and Patterson without going into luxury tax?
Like we'd have to trade cojo most likely right to keep both?
