Carry on.
Gee, if only you had created a thread on it.
This is an extremely arbitrary rule. For a hard capped team like Brooklyn to NOT be able to receive a sign and traded player like Reddick in a small 2yr/6mil deal, but can receive Richardson to $11 mil simply because he's previously signed is, well, arbitrary.
