FA: Dragic 1yr/2.9M to CHI

[F Gump]

I think he is referring to having 2 players that were traded on the designated rookie max extensions.

Ah. IOW, is Luka such a player?

I would say no, but the CBA wording is murky as to which players it is indicating. The relevant wording is "acquired by the Team by assignment." Does this refer to the trading of a draft pick, or even to any transaction prior to the signing of the extension? An argument can be made that it doesn't, but clarifying wording is not included in the CBA afaik, so the best I can offer is my best guess.

Edit: Luka is not considered to be a "traded player" for purposes of this rule. Simmons or Mitchell can be added to the Mavs.
