Actually, GM's and coaches are allowed to have discussions with each
other during the lockout, they just can't converse with the players,
with a few exceptions.  Therefor, one should expect a lot of deals 
to be initiated after the stalemate is finished.  Especially from our
very own Trader Rick.  Do you think he's becoming restless?
