<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>if this is turned into a three-way deal, KVH, Magloire, and one of Dalas' picks can be sent to Memphis for Mike Miller . . . the Nets would then keep Boki.
Something else is up.</div>
Van Horn is willing to do this to play for NJ, I don't think he'd agree to do this for Memphis.
Apparently he would need to show up and be actively involved with the team.
</div>
he'll be waived after one day. Maybe the Nets will pick up Bobby Jones, who is just as good as Antoine Wright.
</div>
I don't think they can do that.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Another potential complication could be the use of Van Horn. Numerous past examples exist of teams involving players no longer in the league and who have no intention of playing just to make the trade work, and the league appears to be taking a tougher stance to ensure that the player is simply not a trade chip on paper.
That was the case in the recent Pau Gasol trade when the Lakers included Aaron McKie, a player whose rights they controlled as he worked this season as a volunteer assistant with the Sixers.
McKie, who played last season, agreed to join the Grizzlies. He signed a contract and is on the roster. Van Horn hasn't played since 2005-06 with the Mavs. He chose not to play last season, but did not file retirement papers with the league.
Cuban said he has not spoken to Van Horn, who lives with his family outside of Denver. But if the former forward is included, it too, could involve a league investigation.
"I know he did not play last season, but he's a relatively young guy," said Joel Litvin, the NBA's president of league and basketball operations. "If put into a sign-and-trade, we would ask the same questions we asked about Aaron McKie, namely, is he planning on resuming his career? It's on a case-by-case basis."</div>
