Cassell and waivers

[Kim Malo]

Yeah, you're right. I didn't read carefully enough. Trade exemptions, 
CAN be used, because it's still picking up an existing contract, not 
signing FA and it's a pain in the butt to find who has which 
exceptions (realgm should make this easier, I think they used to), 
but if ESPN's trade machine is right, both Phoenix and Golden State 
do have big enough ones to claim him. Sorry about that and thanks for 
the correction.
