| 0:16.4 | Looks like the Indiana Pacers are throwing in a wrench into the plans of the Phoenix Suns, the favorites, to land Kevin Durant. Now, that is how I can get to my Durant story. So let's do that. We'll make it seem like we'll tell him the story about the Pacers, but it's really just a way to get into the Durant story. The Indiana Pacers are set to offer, I guess, give an offer sheet to DeAndre Aiton, |
| 0:38.9 | which would then put the Phoenix Suns in a tough position to where they either match the offer |
| 0:43.7 | from the Indiana Pacers and keep him, which they wouldn't be able to trade him until December |
| 0:48.3 | 15th if they were to do that. |
| 0:49.7 | So let's talk about that rule. |

| 1:03.0 | Now, one of the thing or the thing that allows you to sign a restricted free agent is you offer them an offer sheet or present it. That means you've signed for a |

| 1:19.7 | or let you go, or let the player go. Now, your point is, if they match it, now those restrictions on how soon you can trade them. |
| 1:29.4 | December 15th would be the earliest DeAndre Aiton could be traded. |
| 1:32.1 | Which is after the season is started. |
| 1:33.6 | Right. |
| 1:34.2 | So really, what we're saying here is any offer sheet that was presented for Aiton made it where he wasn't going to be in any Durant trade. |
| 1:44.9 | Yes. |
| 1:46.0 | The very, well, I guess because if the sons match it, they can't trade him. |
| 1:51.3 | If they don't match it, they lose them. |
