To be fair, that's different - Tampa gave the Leafs a draft pick so they would take Kolzig's salary for the balance of the season. In the NBA, teams want the big expiring contract so they have the cap room for the upcoming year. Basically the Leafs just bought a fourth-rounder from Tampa for the cost of Kolzig's salary instead of writing them a cheque.
The Kings also acquired Rashad McCants, who's apparently dating Khloe Kardashian. So at least having her and her big-bootied sis around will soften the blow of losing Candace...
@Skating Tomato: Well, we already have one who hasn't caused me pain (Francisco Garcia) and I believe the only other one is Al Horford. I think I'm safe...

Perhaps you would prefer a trade deadline where a player's expiring contract becomes the most sought-after asset?

I don't see how being an expert on Radio Free Asia, the United Fisherman of Alaska or Sigrid Hjertén will help out one bit.

I was thinking more along the line of knowing the complete filmography of Liv Ullman.

Efforts to move their numerous piles of magic beans, acquired during the Isiah Thomas-era, proved largely unsuccessful.
