 * That is because the moratorium period has not ended, and does not end until 12:00 am EST on July 9 i.e. in about 16 hours. Deals can not become official until then. Please see here or here for info on the July moratorium. DaHuzyBru (talk) 12:19, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Oubre/Grant/Hardaway three-team trade
I think the 3-team trade between the Hawks, Wizards and the Knicks on draft day is two separate trades. Here are my reasons
 * Wizards press release only mention trading draft rights and future draft picks with the Hawks. No mention of Wizards sending the rights to Jerian Grant to the Knicks or Hawks acquiring Tim Hardaway Jr. from the trade. No mention of three-team trade.
 * Knicks press release only mention acquiring Jerian Grant from the Hawks (via the Wizards) and sending Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Hawks. No mention of the Hawks sending Kelly Oubre Jr. to the Wizards and acquiring two second-round picks from them. No mention of three-team trade.
 * Hawks press release write this:
 * "Officially, they traded the draft rights to Kelly Oubre to Washington for the draft rights to Jerian Grant and two future second-round draft picks, then traded the draft rights to Jerian Grant to the Knicks for Tim Hardaway Jr."
 * The keyword here is then, which means that the trades did not happen simultaneously. I believe the Hawks madee the trade with the Wizards first, and then later they made another trade with the Knicks. Also, there is no mention of three-team trade.

What do you guys think? Should the entry in the trade table be separated into two two-team deals? — MT (talk) 04:44, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Associated Press news articles (Hawks and Wizards) also have no mention of three-team trade.
 * SI explicitly mentions in another deal.
 * Yahoo (Wojnarowski) who first reported the deal explicitly says that the Wizards-Hawks trade happened before Hawks-Knicks trade.
 * I originally had it as two separate trades but another user modified it. I have now changed it back as I agree with you. DaHuzyBru (talk) 10:32, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Will Cummings
According to http://www.csnphilly.com/ncaa/temples-will-cummings-signs-rockets Will Cummings of Temple University signed with the Rockets on June 27. How can this be when the free agent period doesn't start until July? ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 11:56, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * there are a couple of exemptions to the CBA. If he signed a minimum deal (and I can't see why he would get much more than the minimum) looks like it would be covered by the exception. http://www.nba.com/media/CBA101.pdf TastyPoutine talk (if you dare) 12:32, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * So should we add him with a disclaimer? ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 12:37, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * No. Cummings has not been officially signed by the Rockets. He does not feature on the team's official roster and his signing has not been reported by other outlets either i.e. RealGM. If he is to sign with the Rockets, then it will likely be announced when the training camp roster is announced in late September. This list is for officially announced signings, and Cummings is not one of them, yet. DaHuzyBru (talk) 14:43, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Cummings did play for the Rockets' summer league team, so the reported signing could have been referring to that. Since June 27, no other news has come of this. Lets just wait and see. DaHuzyBru (talk) 14:46, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Training camp cuts
Any particlular reason why we don't list training camp cuts under "Waived". We include their signings. If added to their list, it provides a more elegant place to add a ref for WP:V. Anyways, will leave it to the regular editors to decide.—Bagumba (talk) 23:03, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I have been doing these lists for three-four seasons now and I have never added training camp cuts to the "waive" section. I think when I first started, I just went with the norm of previous years which has stuck until now. I've never had an issue with the formatting, and only cuts during October are listed there i.e. this year, between October 1 and October 26 (the day before regular season starts). If we were to start adding TC cuts to the waive section, then I don't think we need the cuts table. Either keep as is, or abolish the cuts table and add respective waivings to waive section – not have both. I'd be open to changing models for next season's list, but I think leave as is for this season. DaHuzyBru (talk) 03:09, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I just assumed people thought training camp cuts sorted by team was significant enough to have the existing view. I don't really care if it stays or not. My comment was mostly because everything else is individually sourced, except that TC table, and that technically the waiver table is incomplete without the camp cuts. Do as you and others think best. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 03:41, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Going to the D-League
I see that a new Going to the D-League was started by recently. If these players were not part of a parent NBA team, it seems out of place to have it here. What is the motivation to have it here?—Bagumba (talk) 22:15, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * All the players on that list were on an NBA roster either last season, last training camp or even this young season. Their contracts expired or were released by their former teams and signed with a D-League outfit afterwards. It's something similar to the section "Going overseas".Intruder007 (talk) 22:20, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I think "Going overseas" only has players that last played in the NBA, not ones that were only in training camp. When I looked at the first one on the D-League list, C. J. Fair, he doesnt seem to have ever been on an NBA regular season roster, let alone play in a game.  While overseas in some/many case can be considered a lateral move (more $ maybe), D-League is a demotion of sorts.—Bagumba (talk) 23:21, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * While I'm not totally for this section, seeing as the last D-League list went unfinished in the 2012–13 season, there have always been training camp cuts in the the "Going overseas" section i.e. Nikoloz Tskitishvili, a Clippers' cut this year; or Dee Bost, a Jazz cut last year. And to add what Intruder was saying, Fair was a training camp signing by the Pacers both this year and last year. This D-League list is not regular season players, it's all the training 2015 camp cuts that have gone to the D-League. DaHuzyBru (talk) 00:19, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I see, I wasn't aware that "Going overseas" was including them. One could argue still that "Going overseas" shows players no longer available to play in the NBA.  OTOH, all D-League players not under an NBA contract can be signed by any NBA team at any time. Therefore, their signing with the D-League essentially has zero impact to the NBA season.—Bagumba (talk) 07:56, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Julius Hodge
Julius Hodge retire on May 18, 2015. Should he be added in this year's transactions, or last year's?

(184.41.231.229 (talk) 21:38, 12 March 2016 (UTC))
 * Well, in terms of the NBA, May 2015 is playoff time so it would be 2014–15. DaHuzyBru (talk) 04:13, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
