The NBA eliminated "wink wink" deals in the new CBA

Just saw this on that Cavs rumor link and if it's true I say about damned time!

The NBA has eliminated wink-wink deals in its new collective bargaining agreement. A player who is traded and waived cannot return to his old team in 30 days, as Zydrunas Ilgauskas did in 2010. He must now wait until at least July 1.

Agreed. That was a credibility damaging maneuver under the old CBA.
