Hence, the exemption following the player to team B in case of a trade.
The trade clarification actually makes it more likely that Feaster was wrong because why would they bother to clarify that the exemption would follow the player with a trade? If the player was exempt in case of signing by 'any' team, the trade clarification is irrelevant.
Therefore, there is a very good chance that Feaster was wrong... and should therefore be fired for risking 2 picks on a "hunch"...

This....over and over...this.
Its pretty clear to me that the clause in question applies ONLY to the team who's player is returning from Europe...not the player specifically or there wouldnt need to be clarifications set apart within said clause in case of a trade.
Feaster screwed up...either by not getting clarification from the league, or thinking he did without knowing 100% for sure what the rsults would have been. He simply cannot do that in his position.
He must be fired.
