How do the Lakers figure they can trade for Dwight Howard now? Bynum + the draft pick and the trade exception from Dallas in the Odom trade??

This mess with Odom only makes the bs nixing of the trade that much worse.
I think I'm pretty much done as an NBA fan.
Which only figures that the one sport where my favorite team wins a lot is the sport whose league manages to piss me off enough to kill my interest.

What the heck is a "trade Exception?"
essentially, a team has a year to spend in other trades, equal to what the trade exception was. a trade exception is usually... like the odom deal, where its a player for a pick. so, off hand i dont recall the number so lets say its 8.9 mil... the lakers now have a year to spend 8.9 mil extra in trades. they dont have to, obviously... but they essentially get a free 8.9 mil to acquire talent. so instead of the usual 110% (or whatever the cba upped the rule to now) of salary in a trade... they can now acquire 8.9 mil more than the team theyre trading with... or they can spend 3 mil in 1 trade, and then 5 in the next one.. etc etc.

CHRIS PAUL . . . YOU'RE FIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRREEEEEEDDDDDD*DDDD!Just got word the Clips/CP3 trade is definitely off. Can only be revived if NBA bends on its super-steep asking price. This is I-N-S-A-N-E.
Impossible NOT to think of this video when thinking about David Stern's performance these past 4 days:
David Stern didn't screw Chris Paul. Chris Paul screwed Chris Paul.

Are they going to block whatever free agent deal he signs in the off season?
mavs got a trade exception from the knicks for chandler
its a valid question... i refuse to believe that getting rid of andy rautins, and getting the rights to two europeans thatll probably never come over, were that important. but whatever, i guess it was just to give chandler a signing bonus or something... i read they couldve given him a 5th year, but gave him a major signing bonus instead.
