If anyone knows, I'd love to know what the difference between this situation
and, say the Toronto/Michael Stewart deal is.  Is there more evidence of a
deal here?  Is it because Stern is actually getting back at the T'Wolves,
Smith and even Garnett for forcing that whole lockout mess?  To me it would
be just as wrong if there was some sort of revenge factor at work here.

    As I understand it, the difference is that the deal with Smith was in 
writing. A contract, a written instrument violating the rule. 
    With "Yogi," and others, who signed a one year deal for less than market, 
with an assurance; it was just that, a non-binding agreement. Nothing in 
writing, no way to prove that any rule was violated.
