Somebody in the newsgroup clarified this: The gestation period for an FA to be 
traded is 60 days, and I belive RP pulled it off on the 61st day <Mills was 
signed on 8/22 and traded on 10/22>. I won't be surprised if he had some 
agreement with the Knicks regarding the Mills trade <This is a smart man>.
