I remember back in 1996 when Shaq was a free agent and made it very clear that he wanted to sign with the Lakers. In order to make the room, the Lakers sent a few players to Charlotte, most notably Vlade Divac, and renounced a few more. Now, everyone and their momma knew that the Lakers were about to sign O'Neal and that's why they traded away their starting center but the NBA didn't say anything about pre-arranged deals then. Why? Because it put Shaq into the second biggest market in the league.
