Link? This violates the CBA in 2 ways:Tyreke signed the offer sheet on July 3rd and the trade went thru July 10th
1. July 3rd is during the July moratorium, when players can't sign contracts or be traded.
2. Teams have 3 days to match offer sheets. If the offer sheet was signed on July 3rd (during the July moratorium...?), then Tyreke would already have been under contract with the Pelicans days before July 10th. You can't trade a player under contract with another team.
What I think likely happened is that Tyreke agreed to terms on an offer sheet with the Pelicans during the July moratorium (July 3rd, perhaps). Before being able to sign that offer sheet on July 10th (after the July moratorium), the Pelicans and Kings agreed to terms on a sign-and-trade. On July 10th, that sign-and-trade happened.
The offer sheet, however, was never signed.
