Mike James and Rasheed Wallace played some minutes in the first half, and then, in the second half, they were told that they couldn't play because all the paperwork, involving the trade that got them in Detriot, was not completed. They should not have been allowed to play that game at all. Have you ever heard of something like that ever happening before? What if Detroit won that game? Would Minnesota be allowed to appeal that game, since Rasheed and Mike James should've never been allowed to play that game? I'm wondering who's more at fault here, Detroit or the NBA.

This is a weird situation. Does he get credit for his stats? I can't see how the NBA wouldn't have let Detroit know that Sheed' couldn't dress. Big mixup by the Assosiation here. At least Minn. won so there won't be any dispute there.

I was under the belief that Detroit need positive confirmation from the league to let him play.
