The other type of no-trade clause - the one
made famous by
Devean George - involves players on one year contracts who will have early or full Bird rights at the season's end are given the right to veto any trades that they may be in, so that they aren't powerless to prevent having their Bird rights taken away from them (which is what happens when such players are traded, for reasons I am not aware of.) The players who qualify for that criteria and thus yield that power are as follows;
1)
Jason Collins (Atlanta)
2)
Marquis Daniels (Boston)
3)
Anthony Carter (Denver)
4)
Rasual Butler and
Craig Smith (L.A. Clippers)
5)
Shannon Brown (L.A. Lakers; this can be avoided if he invokes his player option for next season concurrent to the trade.)
6)
Jamaal Magloire and
Carlos Arroyo (Miami)
7)
Aaron Gray (New Orleans; same as Brown.)
8)
Josh Howard (Washington)
Just because they have this power, it doesn't mean they will use it. Devean George did, but that was the exception; players last year who could have done but didn't include
Nate Robinson and
Royal Ivey. Nor did Aaron Gray, who has achieved the unusual feat of having the right to veto a trade in back to back seasons. It is, however, something to note.
