A handshake, and either party can change their mind before that contract is signed when he is allowed to.
It's not deception, it's not cap circumvention. It's using the tools at your disposal to take away an asset from another team. Only the one year is guaranteed at this point.

I am talking about an agreed upon deal that both parties consider in place. Signed and put into a drawer.
If either can back out if things change, there is nothing wrong with that.
But many posters that they had already agreed to a deal that would make this deal look much better. My point was simply that such a deal could never be binding.
